Betting Trends for vs
The favorite has dominated the number as of recent when the Mississippi State Bulldogs and Tennessee Volunteers meet as they have covered the spread in 5 consecutive meetings. The Tennessee Volunteers were able to stick with the Georgia Bulldogs early on as they took a 14-10 lead, but they were eventually blown out which shows the level of play they have put on display this season. The Mississippi State Bulldogs are coming off an embarrassing loss against a good Auburn team, but they had a bye week to recover and fix their mistakes. The Volunteers will most likely start freshmen QB Brian Maurer, and while he had a good game against the Georgia Bulldogs, it is hard to think he will translate that success again. Final Score Prediction, Mississippi State Bulldogs win and cover ATS 31-14.
