Texas A&M vs Tennessee Prediction
It feels like the Texas A&M Aggies are getting the benefit of the doubt because they’re at home, where they’re 12-1 SU on the season. It also feels like oddsmakers have cooled off on the Vols due to three losses in the last month, but Tennessee is still fourth in scoring defense, first in field goal defense and third in three-point percentage defense. Tennessee has four road wins this season. Tennessee is too good of a basketball team to turn down in the underdog role, and this will be just the seventh time since February of last year where the Vols are an underdog. I get it’s an early start and Texas A&M fans will be going nuts. I still want the free bucket with a defensive minded Tennessee team that’s battle tested and doesn’t go down easily. Give me the bucket with the Vols on the road in what should be a fun SEC showdown.
