Free Spread Prediction: LSU Tigers +10.5
Our analysis for this game between LSU Tigers and the Tennessee Volunteers points to LSU covering the spread as +10.5 point underdogs. We see the line for this matchup being set too high, leaving an opportunity for LSU to cover. Even if they are trailing throughout the game, the Tigers are an excellent candidate to keep the final score closer than oddsmakers are expecting.
In these situations, the better team’s pace of play can play a large role in their being able to cover such a large spread. However, given that both sides are near the NCAA average in possessions per game, LSU won’t be forced to play an unfamiliar style of basketball. Heading into the game, our model recommends locking in a bet on the LSU Tigers at +10.5.
