Prediction
Tennessee 77, South Carolina 64
Moneyline (ML)
The Vols weren’t very good against the fast-paced teams at their conference, and the Gamecocks have pace numbers very close to the fastest in the SEC,
USC is not Alabama, Arkansas or Georgia. Gamecocks don’t shoot well enough to do many sustained runs.
The slope here is in Tennessee, down to -750, but TO SPEND at this listed price.

Against spread (ATS)
Tennessee is 4-1 ATS in their last five games against teams below .500.
The Volts make the figure to accumulate points from the fault line and beyond the 3 point arc. Still, 11.5 points is a lot. Peg TENNESSEE -11.5 (-110) like a small margin lean.
Up / Down (O / U)
Both sides carry some Over trends, but this figure reflects those trends and calls for a zag. TAKE SUB 143.5 (-105).
