Round 1 Betting Lines
#7 Mercer Bears +9
#2 Tennessee Volunteers -9
Over/Under 125.5

We see this all the time in the NIT. One team clearly wants to be here and looks at it as an honor to be able to go up against some of the big boys in the country. One team clearly has no interest. We’re not saying that the Vols are going to be as disinterested as the Kentucky Wildcats clearly were yesterday, but the SEC really doesn’t have a fantastic history in this tournament. Sure, there are exceptions to the rule, and programs like that of South Carolina have been great, but aside from that… not so much. Mercer has a great defensive team that is holding foes down to just 58.2 points per game this season. We have seen the Volunteers struggle so badly on the offensive side of the court at times. There were several games this year where even getting to 50 seemed like a chore. We just don’t know how excited UT is going to be to be here in the NIT, whereas we know that G Travis Smith and F Jakob Gollon are going to be looking at this as a great opportunity to put the Bears on the map. Go with Mercer and the points, and don’t be all that shocked if this game ends in an upset.

The wild SEC Tournament is going to take another turn on Thursday night when Alabama faces off with Tennessee. The Volunteers know that they are probably in the dance if they win this game. Alabama knows that it has no choice but to win this one and probably one more to get in. The Crimson Tide are one of the more underwhelming teams in America. They really haven’t beaten anyone spectacularly, and they have lost all of the big time games that they have played. Still, they have kept matters quite close, as they have only been blown out once (by Florida) over the course of their last nine games. Tennessee seems to be the trendy pick to make here, knowing that the team has only been beaten once since February 6th. There was only one meeting of these two squads this season, and the Volunteers were lucky to escape with a 54-53 victory on Rocky Top. This is a perilously short point spread though, and we think that the oddsmakers are trying to bait us into taking the men in orange. Ride with Alabama in what should be another one of these low scoring SEC Tournament games that comes right down to the wire.

Tennessee vs. Alabama Pick: Alabama Crimson Tide +1.5
SEC Quarterfinals Prediction: Alabama 63 – Tennessee 62

Here in the SEC, nothing is a guarantee. Florida is dancing. Missouri should be dancing. Everyone else… meh! Tennessee is one of those teams that will be right there on the bubble come Selection Sunday. The Vols shot themselves in the foot last week by losing at Georgia, but the way the Bulldogs are playing right now, the loss doesn’t look all that horrid. UT has won seven of its last eight games, and it is 7-1 ATS to show for its work in that time as well. Unfortunately for the Volunteers in this one, the oddsmakers have caught on. The perception is there that Missouri can’t play on the road, as it has lost most of its big time road games this season. However, the loss to Arkansas should have gone the other way, and the OT defeat at Rupp Arena was a close game from the get go. We think that the pressure is going to be too much for the Volunteers to handle. They are expected to win this game to get into the NCAA Tournament, but we have seen this play out far too many times in the SEC to be fooled. If there is any doubt about the Tigers and where they stand in the mix for the dance, that doubt will be removed by (finally) getting that elusive road win on Rocky Top.

F Jordan McRae is on absolute fire right now for the Volunteers. He has put up a total of 58 points in his last two games, and he has almost single-handedly willed Tennessee back into the discussion for the NCAA Tournament. Win this game, and the Vols will almost certainly be on the right side of the bubble going into the last three games of the regular season. Florida has some major problems right now, too. The team might legitimately only have six players at its disposal to go with a bunch of guys who virtually never play coming off of the bench. First it was F Will Yeguete that went down with a knee injury to drop the Gators to just seven to choose from, but now, G Michael Frazier II has a concussion and could be out for Tuesday night’s affair as well. If Frazier doesn’t play, we really don’t see how anyone could back the Gators, even for as dominating as they have been over the course of SEC play. A lot of that dominance came in the months of November, December, and January, though. Florida has only gone 5-2 SU and 2-5 ATS in February, and the average margin of victory has dipped to just 12.9 points per game, way down from the 20.6 points per game that the team is averaging for the season. We want the points and the Vols on our side in this one on Tuesday night.

Florida vs. Tennessee Pick: Tennessee Volunteers +9
Florida vs. Tennessee Prediction: Tennessee 68 – Florida 67

The time is here for more of our sparkling CBB picks, as we look at the schedule for basketball for Saturday night. The Tennessee Volunteers and Kentucky Wildcats will have it in a nationally televised game, which can be seen on the college basketball TV schedule on CBS.

Free College Hoops Picks: Kentucky Wildcats @ Tennessee Volunteers
Date: Saturday, February 16th, 1:00 ET
Location: Thompson Boling Arena, Knoxville, TN
Kentucky vs. Tennessee Live TV: CBS

This is where we are going to see whether the Wildcats really have the ability to compete in the NCAA Tournament or not. They are going to be on the road against a Tennessee team that has the ability to upset some of the top teams in the SEC. The Volunteers aren’t remarkable, and they aren’t going to get into the dance, but they can beat this Kentucky team if it doesn’t play its best game. UT is all the more dangerous right now after winning back to back games on the road, though there is a big time difference between playing games against South Carolina and Vanderbilt and taking on these Wildcats. But of course, the question about the Cats is how they are going to respond in their first game without F Nerlens Noel. Noel tore his ACL in the lousy loss to the Florida Gators. That was a terrible defeat for UK, and that might be exactly what happens again in this one. This is a very bad trap spot for the Wildcats, and we think that they are going to end up getting blasted firmly back onto the bubble.

Kentucky vs. Tennessee Pick: Tennessee Volunteers +1

Tennessee vs. Kentucky Live TV: ESPN

With an 0-3 mark on the road this year and some awfully terrible offensive results to show for their work, the Volunteers aren’t a team that we want to back right now. F Nerlens Noel is going to have a field day against the hapless UT offense, and we would be shocked if he didn’t have at least 10 steals and blocks combined by the end of the night. The Wildcats aren’t playing that well either, as they have been double digit favorites in back to back games against the Vanderbilt Commodores and the Texas A&M Aggies, only to just barely beat Vandy, and get whipped by A&M in shocking results. This won’t be another game like that. The Vols were smacked by 25 points when they came to Rupp Arena last year, and there is no reason to think that the results will be any different this time around. There’s just too much talent here for the Cats to not blow away the men in orange and white.

BetGuardian

It hasn’t been a good start to the season for the Vols, as they have really been beaten and beaten up thanks to a real lack of talent on the offensive side of the court. The team is averaging just 61.4 points per game this year, and save for F Jarnell Stokes and G Trae Golden, there isn’t another player on the team averaging double digits in scoring. F Jordan McRae has some potential, and F Kenny Hall at least chips in defensively, but the team is generally a wreck right now. Wichita State is playing stout defense, allowing just 58.8 points per game this year. The team is stacked, and it is going to be one of the favored side to win the Valley this year along with Creighton. Watch out for G Demetric Williams, who is knocking down 52.9 percent of his long range shots. Only F Cleanthony Early and F Carl Hall are averaging double digits in scoring, but the style that this team plays more than makes up for that. The problem that the Shockers have is that they really haven’t played a road game like this on the campaign. We think that the Vols are going to get their third win in a row at home to start the season with a stifling defensive effort.

The time is here for more of our sparkling CBB picks, as we look at the schedule for basketball for Friday night. The Georgetown Hoyas and Tennessee Volunteers will have it in a nationally televised game, which can be seen on the college basketball TV schedule on ESPN.

Free College Hoops Picks: Tennessee Volunteers @ Georgetown Hoyas
Date: Friday, November 30th, 6:30 ET
Location: Verizon Center, Washington DC
Tennessee vs. Georgetown Live TV: ESPN

Efficiency is the name of the game for the Hoyas, and they are clearly going to be the team to beat in this game on Friday night in the Big East/SEC Challenge. This is a team that is shooting 50.4 percent from the field as a unit, one of the best marks in the Big East. F Otto Porter and F Greg Whittington are both doing a nice job in the paint, and they are making a good chunk of their shots and cleaning up on the glass to boot. The Volunteers are clearly going to improve as the year goes on, but there is a real question as to whether this is a club that can really keep up with the big time teams in the Big East. Thus far, there has only been one game against a Big Six school, and the end result was a romp at the hands of the Oklahoma State Cowboys. This is tough competition, and it is a legit road game instead of a neutral site affair. The problem that UT has in this one is that Georgetown has the bigs to slow down F Jarnell Stokes. If that turns out to be the case, the boys from Rocky Top just aren’t going to have any answers. This should be a very one-sided romp from the start.

Tennessee vs. Georgetown Pick: Georgetown Hoyas
Tennessee vs. Georgetown Prediction: Georgetown 78 – Tennessee 63

5Dimes SportsbookOne of my favorite plays on the Week 10 Saturday college football odds pits the Tennessee Volunteers against the Troy Trojans. These two are going to be meeting at 12:00 p.m. ET at Neyland Stadium, and I’m going to show you which side to make your CFB pick on for this great game.

Troy Trojans (4-4, 4-4 ATS) +18.5
Tennessee Volunteers (3-5, 3-5 ATS) -18.5
Over/Under 68

This isn’t exactly the sexiest game on the college football rotation schedule, but there is a real value here to the Trojans for sure, and it isn’t so much a play on the Sun Belt reps as it is a play against the Volunteers.

Tennessee hasn’t won a game in over a month, and even when that happened, it came against the Akron Zips in a game in which the Rocky Top faithful were booing the heck out of the team at halftime because of its shoddy performance that resulted in a tie game. The team has been outgained by each of its last four foes, and it really hasn’t played a solid game from start to finish all season long. Now, with Head Coach Derek Dooley rumored to be on the outs, it’s anyone’s guess as to just how motivated the men in orange and white are to really finish off this season in strong form.

On top of that, the Sun Belt has dominated the SEC all season long from an ATS standpoint, and it even has its share of upsets. Who could forget Louisiana Monroe beating Arkansas and then turning around the next week and nearly beating Auburn? Or Western Kentucky beatingKentucky? Or this Troy team nearly beating Mississippi State? The Trojans are 10-5 ATS in their last 15 games against SEC foes, and they certainly are not going to be intimidated playing in a stadium this big in front of this many fans. I’m not saying that the Vols are going to lose, but I will definitely stick them on upset alert when push comes to shove.

Troy @ Tennessee Tips: Troy Trojans +18.5

The 2012 college football season is back, and here at Cappers Info, we’ll be looking at some of the best games on the docket each and every week, as we try to make the most money possible off of the CFB odds for the week. Join us on Saturday night, as we make our Tennessee Volunteers @ South Carolina Gamecocks free picks and predictions for what should be a great clash on the gridiron.

Week 9 College Football Picks: Tennessee Volunteers @ South Carolina Gamecocks
Date: Saturday, October 27th, 12:00 ET
Location: Williams Brice Stadium, Columbia, SC
CFB Betting Odds: South Carolina -14
Tennessee @ South Carolina Live TV: ESPN

There is a real question about motivation right now between Tennessee and South Carolina. There is no doubt that the Gamecocks have the better of these two teams, but they have been beaten in two games in a row and were whacked by the Florida Gators the type of way that ends seasons prematurely last week in a 44-11 loss. Meanwhile, Tennessee is trying to prove that it can at least stick with the big boys in the SEC, something that isn’t easy to do by any stretch of the imagination. The defense for Tennessee has a lot to prove after allowing 41+ points in three games in a row, and this is a game where that very well could happen. We like the ‘under’ as well, but we think that the better of these two plays is going with Tennessee, as this could ultimately be an outright upset.

Tennessee @ South Carolina Pick: Tennessee +14
Tennessee @ South Carolina Score Prediction: Tennessee 23 – South Carolina 21

The Alabama Crimson Tide and the Tennessee Volunteers are going to square off in Week 8 of the college football betting campaign. Join us here at Cappers Info, as we make our predictions for football for what should be a great game on Saturday.

Week 8 College Football Picks: Alabama Crimson Tide @ Tennessee Volunteers
Date: Saturday, October 20th, 7:00 ET
Location: Neyland Stadium, Knoxville, TN
CFB Betting Odds: Alabama -20
Alabama vs. Tennessee Live TV: ESPN

Defense hasn’t exactly been a strong suit for the Crimson Tide this year. They are allowing 31.5 points per game against a schedule that hasn’t exactly involved a ton of juggernauts. Into town come the Crimson Tide, who are riding a great wave once again, as they prepare for another shot at the BCS National Championship. No team has scored more than 14 on this Alabama ‘D’ in quite some time, and the truth of the matter is that the unit is ready to give up *GASP!* 20 or so. QB Tyler Bray is the man to put those points on the board in some way, shape, or form. Remember that Alabama’s offense doesn’t exactly slack, and it should put at least 30 on the board in this one. It might take 35-40 to be able to cover this number, but the Tennessee defense should truly oblige. In the end, expect to see this game featuring at least 60, though as many as 45 of that could belong to the Tide.

Alabama @ Tennessee Pick: Alabama/Tennessee Over 55
Alabama @ Tennessee Score Prediction: Alabama 42 – Tennessee 20

Week 7 pointspreads are out, and here at Cappers Info, we are set to analyze the college football odds for one of the top games on the slate. The Tennessee Volunteers vs. Mississippi State Bulldogs odds are posted, and we are set to make our CFB picks for another great game.

Week 7 College Football Picks: Tennessee Volunteers @ Mississippi State Bulldogs
Date: Saturday, October 13th, 9:00 ET
Location: Heinz Field, Mississippi State, PA
CFB Betting Odds: Mississippi State -3
Tennessee vs. Mississippi State Live TV: ESPN2

This is almost a bit like an NFL game and an NFL pointspread when you think about it. The Bulldogs are favored by a field goal, and the favored team is getting about 60% of the betting action. We’ve sat and looked at this one for quite some time, and in the end, the underdog seems to be the way to go when push comes to shove. We do really think that this Tennessee teams has something special about it. There are only a pair of losses, and both are to teams that have been ranked in the Top 5 in the nation at one point or another, and there is no shame in that. Mississippi State has won seven in a row, but this just feels like a game that could be problematic. QB Tyler Bray is one of the best quarterbacks in the SEC, and he is the one man that can win this game by himself. He just might be able to do it.

Tennessee @ Mississippi State Pick: Tennessee +3
Tennessee @ Mississippi State Score Prediction: Tennessee 27 – Mississippi State 21
