Tennessee State vs Tennessee Prediction
In Tennessee State vs Tennessee Prediction, Tennessee is coming as -29.5 home favorites. Tennessee has been undefeated this season and has been playing elite defense, ranking 14th in the entire nation in points allowed and having a +27 point differential. Tennessee State’s numbers are inflated as two of their three games played are against non-Division I teams and in their only game against a Division I team they lost by 30 points and allowed 94, so I cannot see how they can keep up with an elite Tennessee team on the road and their elite defense. Tennessee is currently ranked as the #11 team in the entire country and I expect them to have a field day today, winning comfortably and covering the spread at home.
