\"The<\/a>
The Tennessee Volunteers are 4-1 SUATS as home favorites of 9.5 to 12 points the last two-plus seasons<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Vanderbilt has alternated wins and losses over its last five games, as it attempts to bounce back from a 57-54 setback to the Florida Gators as 8.5-point home underdogs Tuesday, while going UNDER the betting total for a fifth consecutive contest.\u00a0 The Commodores are down to seven scholarship players, which is important to consider when making your college basketball betting picks, especially since three of them occupy the top spots in terms of minutes played in SEC play.\u00a0 Vanderbilt is 1-4 SU and 3-2 ATS as road underdogs of 9.5 to 12 points, with the OVER going 3-1 in that situation.<\/p>\n

The Commodores have 127 blocks as a team this year, which already places them sixth on the all-time list for an entire season.\u00a0 Vanderbilt point guard Kyle Fuller is having a solid senior season\u2014averaging a 11.5 points and 4.4 assists per game.\u00a0 It\u2019s important to point out that the squad is 8-0 SU when making more threes than its opponent and 11-3 SU when holding a lead at the break.<\/p>\n

Tennessee sits in a four-way tied for fourth place in the conference standings and will look to build on a 75-68 victory over the Mississippi State Bulldogs as 9.5-point road favorites Wednesday, while going OVER the betting total for a second consecutive affair.\u00a0 The Volunteers are 20-6 SU against the Commodores when playing at Thompson-Boling Arena, which can\u2019t be ignored when looking over the college basketball odds page.\u00a0 Tennessee is 4-1 SUATS as home favorites of 9.5 to 12 points since the start of the 2011-12 campaign.<\/p>\n

The Volunteers have three probable starters averaging in double figures, with senior guard Jordan McRae leading the way at 19.7 points a contest.\u00a0 Tennessee rallied from a 12-point deficit but couldn\u2019t complete the comeback in a 64-60 loss to Vanderbilt at the Memorial Gym on Feb. 5.\u00a0 The program is 4-7 SU in its 11 games played against opponents with an RPI of 70 or better.<\/p>\n

Sports bettors will likely back the Volunteers due to their 4-0 ATS mark at home versus teams with a losing road record.<\/p>\n
