As the underdogs with a spread of +8, we recommend going with the Tigers on the point spread. We not only see them covering the spread but also have a strong likelihood of winning this one outright, especially if you’re seeking a higher payout on the moneyline.
Right now, the over/under line for the game is sitting at 155 and given that our model is projecting 147 points between the teams, we like the under.
