UAB vs Tennessee Pick, Betting Analysis
Before breaking this game down, I thought to myself about how Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel gets angry and runs the score up the week after a loss to Georgia.
Here’s how the team has performed the week after losing to the Bulldogs over the past four seasons:
- Beat UTEP 56-0
- Scored 48 on Vanderbilt
- Scored 66 on Missouri
- Scored 60 on South Alabama
So, I’m looking to bet Tennessee Team Total Over 55 or better, just for a half-unit.
Heupel goes crazy the week after a loss to Georgia, and UAB’s defense won’t do a thing to stop the Vols.
UAB’s offense is somewhat dynamic, and so I’m not comfortable laying the big spread with Tennessee. But I’m not comfortable backing the Blazers because I expect Coach Heupel to run the score up.
This feels like a good in-between bet.
Pick: Tennessee Team Total Over 54.5 (-115, DraftKings)
