Tennessee 87, Missouri 71
Moneyline
PASS.
Tennessee (-950) should easily come away with the win, but the Volunteers are not worth the risk at this heavy price. Bet on the spread and/or total instead.
Against the spread
LEAN TENNESSEE -12.5 (-110).
Tennessee has covered the spread in back-to-back outings and is 4-1 ATS in its last 5 games. The Volunteers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 matchups vs. the Tigers in Columbia. Tennessee has also been the better ATS team this season, being 12-12-1 while Mizzou is only 6-19.
This is only a lean because the ATS battle has been very even in recent meetings between these squads.
