![]() But there’s one small bright spot in an otherwise very dark show that might make you feel better. Let's back the big underdog to keep it within three touchdowns. If you’re still recovering from last Sunday’s episode of Euphoria, you’re definitely not alone. ![]() But the situational spot combined with the matchup is too good to pass up at this number. In case of problematic hands/feet (nail fungus, etc.) extra cost may apply. I am perfectly aware we are signing up for an excruciating sweat, where the clock never moves fast enough and every whistle in the final minutes brings us to our knees. It's not unreasonable to think the Tigers are capable of slowing down the Vols' offense enough to keep this one from getting out of hand. The defense is inside the top 25 nationally in both sack percentage and yards per pass attempt allowed. The Tigers' pass rush is strong enough to give Hooker some problems. The Tigers are also 3-0 ATS on the road versus SEC opponents, staying within a touchdown in all three games. This will be the third time it is a double-digit dog, and it covered both previous games against Georgia (+30.5) and Florida (+11.5). Missouri has fared well as a big underdog this season. The Tigers' defense forced two turnovers and held Georgia's offense to 30% success on third downs. ![]() They gave Georgia all it could handle in early October in a nail-biting 26-22 loss. The Tigers' defense is fifth in the conference at preventing explosive plays (33rd nationally) and has been a tough out for even the elite teams in the SEC. Tennessee can score well into the 40s when it is at peak performance, but I would be surprised if we see that against Missouri. Saturday, they take on the stingy Missouri Tigers (4-5, 2-4 SEC) as 20.5-point favorites in a game that presents a solid betting opportunity for a situation that we may see more often in the coming weeks. ![]() Tennessee's loss may have pushed it out of the top four of the College Football Playoff rankings, but with Michigan and TCU still with games on the schedule in which they will be significant underdogs, the Vols' story is far from written. The Hendon Hooker led-offense raced into the biggest game of the year with the style points of a Lamborghini but now heads back home from Athens feeling more like a lemon. The Vols were a miserable 2-of-14 on third downs, averaged only 5.9 yards per pass and gave up six sacks and eight tackles for loss. Josh Heupel's high-powered, potent offense that averaged over 45 points per game against Alabama, Kentucky and LSU didn't find the end zone until the game's final five minutes. The game was not as close as the score indicated. The Tennessee Volunteers, who entered the game as the No.1 ranked team in the country, saw its SEC championship hopes crushed in a 27-13 loss to the Bulldogs. The big story of Week 10 was the Georgia Bulldogs' stark reminder that the path to a national championship still goes through Kirby Smart's defense. ![]()
