The Tennessee Volunteers were left in shambles to start the season. They lost their coach, players graduated, others defected, and it looked like a long year. The Vols started 10-12, but came on strong, especially with the addition of Jarell Stokes. Once Stokes got his legs, Tennessee became a different team, even getting in the bubble talk and finished 9-2 in their last 11. They have taken care of business all season at home with a 15-3 mark, and overall are an under-the-radar 14-5 ATS in their last 19. Middle Tennessee won 26 games, and couldn't get it done in the lowly Sun Belt Conference Championship. Despite the 26 wins, they weren't a consideration to the Big Dance which speaks volumes of a soft schedule and an overrated look. The Volunteers are playing at a high level and with purpose at 14-3-1 ATS in their last 18 at home, so play on Tennessee.
