Tennessee vs Baylor Prediction
The Baylor Bears have the talent to compete with Tennessee, but we also saw them get their boots smoked by Gonzaga. Baylor is also coming off a double overtime game, and that’s not ideal when playing at the end of a back-to-back. The Tennessee Volunteers have comfortably won every game this season and have covered 4 straight games. With the small chalk, I’m not stepping in front of the Vols. Give me Tennessee.
