Randy’s Pick

I don’t want to get behind the UConn Huskies as much as the next guy, but this is oodles of free points. UConn has to be the more motivated side here, with an SEC and ranked opponent on deck. Also, UConn has covered 5 of its last 7 games when underdogs of 30 or more points. This is a trap spot for the Vols after a hard fought game against Kentucky last week and a ranked Missouri on deck next week. This should be a win and get out situation for Tennessee. Give me the road dog.
