Top Tennessee vs. Wofford predictions

SportsLine's model has simulated Wofford vs. Tennessee 10,000 times and is going Under on the total (155.5 points) on the best betting apps. Tennesee's Rick Barnes is one of the top defensive coaches in college basketball and the Vols are coming off another season of allowing fewer than 70 points per game. The Vols also ranked 32nd nationally in field-goal defense, allowing opponents to shoot just 40.9% from the field. Though this roster was constructed with more offense in mind, the Vols have been shaky in exhibition season and will likely need some time for the new pieces to gel. 

These teams haven't combined for more than 151 points in their past four meetings, and their two matchups since 2023 have averaged just 141 combined points. This time around, the model is projecting 152 points as the Under hits 58% of the time. See the Wofford vs. Tennessee spread pick at SportsLine.
