Pick
This should be a great matchup, but I’m leaning towards Tennessee State and the points. UT-Martin is starting to heat up, but Tennessee State has had their hot streak running longer and head-to-head, the road team has won and covered each of the last three meetings. Not sure the Tigers win outright here, but I think there’s value taking the points.
