Texas A&M at Tennessee picks and predictions
Prediction
Tennessee 84, Texas A&M 69
Moneyline
PASS.
You should obviously avoid betting Tennessee (-650), as those odds are pretty steep. Bet the spread and/or total instead.
Against the spread
BET TENNESSEE -10.5 (-106).
The Volunteers are 12-1 straight up at Thompson-Boling Arena this season. Their only home loss came at the hands of the surprising South Carolina Gamecocks -- who are now ranked 20th in the country -- on Jan. 30. Tennessee has covered the spread in 4 of their last 5 home games.
Texas A&M has failed to cover the spread in their last 3 games, 2 of which were on the road.
You have to think the Volunteers will be out for blood in this one after losing in the Feb. 10 meeting. I like them to easily cover this number Saturday.

Over/Under
BET OVER 145.5 (-115).
The Over has hit in 3 of the last 4 meetings, including the Over (154) that hit Feb. 10. The Volunteers (80) and Aggies (74.1) actually average a combined 154.1 points per game.
The Over has hit in 5 straight Texas A&M games and in 4 of 6 for Tennessee.
