The set-up: Two heavyweights in the SEC collide on Saturday afternoon and I believe that points will be at a premium. The Vols posted a 58-46 home win over Vandy in their latest action, while the Tigers come in hungry after falling 82-77 at home to Florida. The home side plays with revenge as well after falling 84-61 at Tennessee last year. This is a big game, as Tennessee holds just a one game lead over LSU for the conference lead. Tennessee is 6-1 on the road and it averages 83.7 PPG and it allows 67.4. LSU is 12-2 at home and it averages 82.7 PPG and it allows 73.8.

The pick: Take it for what you will though, but the Vols have seen the total go "under" in four of their last five as a road dog of three points or less or pick, while LSU has seen the total go "under" in nine of its last 15 after scoring 75 points or more in two straight games. This number is a little high, play the "under."

9* play
