Wofford at Tennessee picks and predictions
Prediction
Tennessee 86, Wofford 51
Moneyline
The moneyline isn't going to be available on most sportsbooks with the massive spread in favor of Tennessee. Even if it were available, it wouldn't be worth taking the Volunteers at the odds they would receive.
Against the spread
TENNESSEE -31.5 (-105) is how I'd wager on the spread as the Volunteers appear to be a well-rounded team early in the season. Wofford hasn't faced an opponent like Tennessee yet, and it failed to cover the spread in its last game.
Meanwhile, the Volunteers are 2-0 ATS, and they proved they can cover a massive spread already in their 80-42 win over Tennessee Tech in the season opener as 32.5-point home favorites. It also helps that Tennessee's defense is limiting opposing teams to 22.2% shooting from beyond the arc, and it is making 87.9% of its free throws.

Over/Under
With the Volunteers having one of the best scoring defenses in the country thus far, UNDER 142.5 (-110) is the ideal bet in this contest. While Wofford has scored at least 85 points in its first 2 games, Tennessee is allowing only 56 points per game.
In their lopsided win over Tennessee Tech, Tennessee achieved the Under of 134 points. Even though the Volunteers will cruise to a massive win at home, the Terriers won't score enough for the Over to hit.
