Betting The Moneyline
These are two undefeated ranked teams facing off and the SU odds reflect that at sports betting sites. The Volunteers -175 moneyline odds are a viable play and worth the risk as Tennessee's offense will give Missouri’s defense problems.
Three point shooting will be the biggest difference between these teams as the Vols have shot 36.1% compared to the Tigers 28.36%. The Tigers have a high scoring offense that can keep this game close especially if the Vols cannot get their shots from deep to fall.
Missouri’s +155 odds to pull off the upset are a great value play for anyone fishing for an upset at sportsbooks. One thing going for Missouri bettors in this matchup is that they have won their last four home games.
If not looking to bet on whether a team will win or lose in this SEC matchup the points total at 133.5 should go under. Although both of these teams have high scoring offenses, the Under has hit in four of the last six games for the Volunteers.
The same result has happened for the Tigers in three of their last four games. Take the Under as this will be the first time the Vols have faced a ranked opponent this season.
Those looking to tune into this game for live betting purposes should know that tipoff is at 9 p.m. EST and the game will be broadcasted by the SEC Network.
