Vanderbilt at Tennessee picks and predictions

Prediction

Tennessee 74, Vanderbilt 60

Moneyline

There is absolutely no value on Tennessee (-1800) as a straight wager or in a parlay. AVOID.

Against the spread

Despite Tennessee being the much better team in this game, VANDERBILT +17.5 (-110) should be the correct choice. While the Commodores haven’t faced a team like the Volunteers this season, their last 4 losses were by a combined 14 points.

The road team is 16-5-1 ATS in the last 22 overall meetings between Vanderbilt and Tennessee and the underdog is 15-7-1 ATS in their last 23 meetings.

Over/Under

OVER 133.5 (-105) is an intriguing bet in this contest with the Volunteers capable of scoring a decent number of points themselves. Tennessee averages 75.4 points per game while Vanderbilt averages 71.6 points per game.

The Commodores have gone Over in 9 of their last 10 road games against a team with a winning home record and the Volunteers are 5-2 to the Over in their last 7 home games against a team with a road winning percentage of less than .400.

Vanderbilt at Tennessee: Three things to know

  1. Vanderbilt is 0-3 over its last three games and heads into Saturday’s game off a six-day layoff (as does UT). Vandy and Tennessee were supposed to have played Tuesday in Nashville, but that contest was postponed Monday after a COVID-19 contact-tracing issue within the Vanderbilt program.
  2. Tennessee’s defense (56.8 points per game) ranks third in the nation. The Volunteers head into this game after holding Texas A&M to a 34.0% mark from the field last Saturday. And field-goal accuracy is a big point of leverage in this game against Vandy. The Commodores’ 42.9% mark on offense ranks 236th in NCAA-I; the Vols’ 38.4% mark on defense ranks 19th.
  3. Vandy’s last against-the-spread loss at UT was on March 1, 2014. The Commodores have since gone 3-3 straight-up and 6-0 ATS in Knoxville. The last three seasons have produced Tennessee SU home wins by an average margin of 7.0 points.

Vanderbilt at Tennessee: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Tennessee 75, Vanderbilt 59

Money line (ML)

STEET CLEAR of the ultra-juicy straight-up odds.

Against the spread (ATS)

Peg this contest as a low-tempo affair. It’s a conference battle, and 18.5 points is a lot in a relatively low-scoring game, even with the talent disparity between these two teams.

Two losses in the Vandy streak are by three points; recent UT wins have underlying game flows that make for a slight-fade-the-Vols lean. The recency biases on both sides are thrown into a rivalry setting, and that gives the Commodores a fighting chance … of staying within 15 points.

TAKE VANDERBILT +18.5 (-110).

Over/Under (O/U)

The Under is 4-1 in the Vols’ last five games as a favorite. Vandy’s defense has gone sideways in SEC play, but the Commodores have been undone by a couple of big shooting performances.

Tag the UNDER 137.5 (-110) AS HAVING SOME MODERATE VALUE.
