Wofford vs Tennessee Odds, Prediction and March Madness Picks, March 20

March Madness is back, and the Round of 64 kicks off with the Wofford Terriers and the Tennessee Volunteers. The NCAA basketball odds aren’t doing Wofford any favors, despite their SoCon title, while Tennessee looks to bounce back after falling short in the SEC Championship.

Tell your boss you’re on an important call – we’ve got a few March Madness bets to break down. Let’s see how Tennessee can manage this double-digit spread or if Wofford stands a chance.

Wofford vs Tennessee Prediction Today (March 20)

My prediction

Right from the start: Wofford is in for a rough one. Sure, they put on a clinic in the SoCon title game, shooting 50% from deep, but let’s not kid ourselves – that’s not happening against the best 3-point defense in the nation. The Vols are holding opponents to just 27.8% from beyond the arc.

Led by SEC Defensive Player of the Year Zakai Zeigler, and leading scorer Chaz Lanier (17.7 points per game), Tennessee has all the tools to cruise to a dominant win. If you want to bet on Madness, take the Vols to cover.

Top 3 Wofford vs Tennessee Betting Picks

My top picks

• Tennessee ATS -19
• Wofford vs Tennessee Under 132.5
• Wofford vs Tennessee best point-scorer bet: Chaz Lanier 18+ points (-118)

My Analysis

Tennessee ATS-19: Wofford can score, but they’re up against a Tennessee team that thrives on defensive pressure – something the Terriers don’t handle well. Factor in the Volunteers’ tight perimeter defense, and this matchup starts looking lopsided. My March Madness prediction say Wofford is in for a long night, struggling to put points on the board.

Wofford vs Tennessee Under 132.5: My expert NCAAB picks say this game has Under written all over it. Tennessee’s defense has been relentless, and Wofford’s offense isn’t built to handle that kind of pressure. Add in the Vols’ own mediocre scoring, and this one’s shaping up to be a low-scoring blowout.

Chaz Lanier 18+ points: Should be no surprise that one of my March Madness picks is Chaz Lanier to score 18+ points. He’s been Tennessee’s go-to scorer and has a golden opportunity to fill it up against a weak Wofford defense. With 2 of his last 5 games hitting this mark, expect him to come up big once more.

Wofford vs Tennessee March Madness Best Prop Bet

Kye Filewich Over 6.5 Rebounds
Even with Tennessee bringing the heat defensively, you can still bank on Wofford’s C Kyle Filewich to clear 6.5 rebounds. The big man has been a force on the boards and will need to step up again to keep this one interesting. Not to mention, he’s hit this mark in 4 of his last 5 games.

Bet on Kye Filewich Over 6.5 Rebounds (-120)
