Tennessee at Arkansas odds, picks and predictions
The No. 9 Tennessee Volunteers (17-6, 7-3 SEC) take on the Arkansas Razorbacks (12-11, 3-7) Wednesday at Bud Walton Arena. Tip is set for 9 p.m. ET (ESPN2). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook's lines around the Tennessee vs. Arkansas odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and best bets.
The Vols, No. 9 in the Paste BN Sports Coaches Poll, are coming off an 85-69 thumping by Texas A&M Saturday. They were actually 2-point favorites in the game and succumbed to 11-for-28 (39%) shooting from 3-point land by the Aggies. UT dispatched Arkansas in 3 of the last 4 meetings.
The Razorbacks failed to cover as 3.5-point favorites in a 78-75 win over the Georgia Bulldogs Saturday. It was just their 3rd win in the last 10 games. Those wins came against UGA, Mizzou and Texas A&M -- not exactly the list of potential Valentines constructed at the beginning of the year.

Tennessee at Arkansas picks and predictions
Prediction
Tennessee 77, Arkansas 66
Moneyline
The Vols should take this one, but you can't risk 4 times your return here.
Instead, let's get creative. Vols G Dalton Knecht has 20+ points in 8 of 9 games. SGP VOLUNTEERS -5.5 + DALTON KNECHT 20 POINTS together for an even +100.
Against the spread
You can take the Volunteers -8.5 (-110) here if you're bored or a degenerate, but we put a safer spread in a +100 SGP, and I'll stick with that.
PASS.

This is a generous number. Take the OVER 151.5 (-110).
