The Pick
The Tigers' defense presents the most formidable challenge that Tennessee has seen so far this season, but the Volunteers' offense is scoring at such a high rate that they should come away with the win in this one. Hendon Hooker may have to work to connect with his receivers against LSU's secondary, but when your team is averaging 48.5 PPG they will find the endzone at the end of the day. Tennessee should be able to tack on an early lead and carry that through to the final whistle.
