Tennessee vs Florida Prediction
In this Tennessee vs Florida Prediction, Florida is coming as -4.5 home favorites. Both teams have almost identical overall records this season but Florida has been undefeated at home, while Tennessee has lost both of its road games. Both teams have also been bad against the spread and both are coming into this matchup in good form, with a 5-1 and 4-1 record in their last 6 and 5 games respectively, so I see no value on either side. They have both been excellent offensively this season, scoring 168.2 points per game combined, so I expect a high-scoring affair today. Take the over 153.5 points.
