Bet the Tennessee vs Virginia Under

The best bet available at college basketball betting sites with Tennessee vs Virginia odds is on the under at BetOnline. The betting line has been set at 125.5 points, with both the over and under having -110 odds.

The under is the best bet primarily on the slow pace of play that both the Volunteers and Cavaliers employ. Per KenPom, out of 364 Division One teams, Virginia plays at the 3rd slowest pace and Tennessee plays at the 223rd fastest pace.

What that specifically means is that Virginia plays at one of the slowest paces in all of college basketball and Tennessee also plays slow, albeit not as slow as UVA.

With two slow teams playing each other, it stands to reason that there will be fewer possessions in the game and therefore fewer scoring opportunities.

Additionally, both Tennessee and Virginia are excellent defensive teams per KenPom. Tennessee ranks fourth in defensive rating and Virginia is 44th.

In a slow game featuring two strong defensive teams, the under is the best bet.

Bet on Tennessee to Cover the Spread

The big difference between Virginia and Tennessee is that the Volunteers have a very good offense and the Cavaliers are mediocre on that end of the court.

Tennessee averages 88 points per game (39th nationally) and has the 18th-best offensive rating. Virginia only averages 65.7 points per game (332nd nationally) and has the 130th-best offensive rating.

While the slower pace may mitigate the differences in offenses, it is still significant enough to say that Tennessee -12 against the spread is a great bet at legal sports betting sites with -107 odds.

Bettors can parlay Tennessee to cover and the under to hit to get +269 odds at BetOnline.
