My pick here is LSU getting 9.5.
Although a revenge game due to the upset win last year by LSU, Tennessee has not done anything to impress me this season.
Tennessee's offense has been subpar this season and I don't expect it to improve with a layoff of 3 weeks. They do not have a speed advantage vs. LSU on the outside and I don't think they will be able to effectively run the ball. The offense does not have any identity.
LSU should be well prepared as Saban is one of the best in the business, IMO. The biggest question is also QB. When he plays well he is very good, when he plays poorly, he'd have trouble starting for most HS teams. They have to stay away from big turnovers and play a solid balanced game. Both of which I think they are capable of doing.
