Bet Tennessee to Dominate Winless Missouri
Arguably the best team in the SEC, No.5 Tennessee, will have to travel to face possibly the worst team in the conference, Missouri. That assessment alone makes it easy for NCAAB expert picks.
Tennessee faced the other team in the SEC with double-digit losses in their last game, dominating Vanderbilt 88-53. Meanwhile, Missouri remained winless in conference play, losing 79-76 to Ole Miss.

Tennessee vs Missouri ATS Pick: Tennessee -12
This should be another dominating win if Tennessee is the team that March Madness betting believes it is. While the Volunteers are not in first place within the SEC, they are just one game back and will have a chance to creep closer to the top spot, playing Alabama soon.
The win over Vanderbilt makes it easier to side with Tennessee to cover the double-digit spread against Missouri. The Volunteers covered a 20-point spread at home against Vanderbilt and should be able to do that on the road against Missouri.
Tennessee vs Missouri Over/Under Pick: Under 147½
Despite the Volunteers scoring 88 points on Vanderbilt, that game hit the under. Their defense stifled Vanderbilt, holding them to only 53 points. Tennessee does have one of the top defenses in the SEC, holding conference opponents to 70.3 points per game.
Even though the Tigers are the home team, it is hard to see their offense, which has yet to win a game this season, have much success against Tennessee’s defense. That, mixed in with the fact that the Volunteer’s offense could take a dip on the road, is why the under makes sense for college basketball picks in this game.
Tennessee vs Missouri Player Prop Pick: Dalton Knecht Under 21½ Points (-114)
Dalton Knecht on Tennessee is one of the most prolific scorers in the SEC this season. He is second in points per game within the conference, averaging 20.1. Despite that, Knecht only had 14 points in the win over Vanderbilt. A big reason for that was that the rest of the team found success and did not need a big offensive game from him.
Something similar is likely to happen against Missouri, making this our best pick for a player prop bet.
