Opening Line: LSU - 4.5, Total 60.5
Tennessee and LSU will battle in Atlanta on Saturday for the SEC Championship and a spot in the BCS. LSU will try and bounce back from a triple overtime loss to Arkansas last week. Darren McFadden had 206 yards rushing for Arkansas and LSU’s hopes of a National title went down the drain as they lost 50-48. "Right now, there's a goal of our football team taken off the board and it's sad," LSU coach Les Miles said. SBG Global reports that early college football betting has the public taking LSU at Home.
The talk in Baton Rouge this week seems to be more on LSU head coach Les Miles leaving for Michigan than it is on beating Tennessee. The Tigers are also dealing with rumors of defensive coordinator Bo Pelini leaving for Nebraska. "Bo Pelini has not traveled to any place," Miles said. "He is focused on the task at hand and I don't think he would have it any other way."

Tennessee is coming off a wild overtime finish as they beat Kentucky 52-50 in four overtimes. "To win that game under such circumstances, we were very fortunate," said Tennessee quarterback Erik Ainge. "We somehow got it done. It wasn't perfect on either side but we find a way to get it done."
Tennessee has been up and down this year but Ainge has been constant completing 64.2 percent of his passes for 2,908 yards with 27 touchdowns and eight interceptions. Tennessee and LSU met six years ago in the SEC title game and the Vols lost as the #2 team in the country 31-20.
