Point Spread: 3.00 | -105.00 Tennessee (Home)
Result: Win
This is an 8* SITUATIONAL DESTRUCTION on Tennessee.

While I obviously believe the outright win isn't out of the question, I will in the end recommend grabbing as many points as you can as I think the home side comes to play today. The Vols may be sputtering offensively of late, but as I always like to say, desperation breeds motivation and a game vs. the hard-nosed Razorbacks is just the type of fuel that I think will help light a fire for Tennessee. Arkansas hasn't opened 3-0 in the SEC in over 17 years and suffice it to say, I don't think it's going to happen here. There's some room to read between the lines in the Razorbaks 82-70 win over Vanderbilt on Saturday, the team was fortunate to create 22 turnovers which led to 31 points and they'd actually allow the Commodores to shoot 52.0 percent. But as mentioned off the top, Tennessee will be eager to atone for some lacklustre play of late, after a 61-47 win at Mississippi State on Wednesday, the team would shoot just 31.1 percent in Saturday's listless 56-38 loss to Alabama: "If you feel sorry for yourself or hang your head in this business people will bury you. They will put you out of business," Vols coach Donnie Tyndall said the embarrassing effort. "With such an inexperienced, youthful team all I can do is continue to tell them, show them in the film room and we have to go to the practice floor to get better. ... No knock on Alabama because I think they are a safe tournament team, but Arkansas is even more talented. So we better be ready." But if history is any precedence, then Tennessee has to be loving its chances as it's won four straight over the Razorbacks in front of the home town crowd. And from a trend based stand point, this play is about as strong as you could possibly ask for, note that Arkansas is 1-6 ATS in its last seven as a road favorite of 3 points or less or pick, while Tennessee is 4-1 ATS in its last five home games as a home dog of 3 points or less or pick. In my opinion, all signs do indeed point to TENNESSEE as the sharp move in this contest.
