Tennessee Betting Trends

For the first time all year, Tennessee’s offense was kept in check.

Hendon Hooker is mortal after all.

Georgia’s dominant defense proved to be too much for the nearly unstoppable Volunteer’ offense. The one-time Heisman trophy favorite threw for just 195 on 33 attempts as Tennessee’s receivers were harangued by a stupendous Bulldog secondary.

Luckily for Hooker and the Volunteers, Georgia’s defense is likely the best unit they’ll face all year. At any rate, Hooker has thrown for over 2,500 yards and 21 scores, while tossing only two interceptions on the year.

At the end of the day, Tennessee’s offense is averaging nearly 43 points per game, even after last week’s loss. Josh Heupel’s squad play a pace and space game that Missouri is unlikely to match. Besides, a pissed off Volunteers squad will be tough to bet against. Tennessee is 6-1 against the spread in their last 7 games following a straight-up loss.

Missouri Betting Trends

Surprisingly, the Missouri Tigers have yet to lose an SEC game by more than one score this season. Likewise, the Tigers played Georgia a whole lot tighter than the Volunteers, even holding a 10-point lead well into the second half against the Bulldogs. Ultimately, Missouri lost 26-22, proving they are talented enough to stay in the game against the top teams in the conference.

After all, the Tigers boast one of the best defensive lines in the nation, and are more than capable of generating enough pressure on Hendon Hooker to disrupt the Tennessee offense. Moreover, the Missouri defense leads the SEC in tackles for a loss, and will prove a stout test for the Volunteers running game.

In total, Missouri’s defense is an underrated unit, surrendering less yardage per game than even Alabama. However, the Tennessee offense is a different beast. Missouri’s secondary will have to have the game of their lives to keep all of Tennessee’s receivers in check for 60 minutes.

Additionally, it’s unlikely the Missouri offense will be able to put up the points necessary to keep pace in this game. Quarterback Brady Cook is more than capable of managing the game and allowing his running game to control the clock. However, he’s thrown for only six touchdowns on the year. Missouri’s offense is built to be a methodical ball control unit. The Tigers will have to control the tempo and the clock to have any chance of an upset in Knoxville on Saturday.

Tennessee vs Missouri Prediction

The loss to Georgia could leave Tennessee reeling. However, the #5 Volunteers could still control their destiny if they win out and another team ahead of them in the College Football Playoff stumbles.

Look for Hooker and Tennessee’s offense to reestablish their dominance on Saturday.

Pick: Tennessee – 21 (-110)
