Villanova Wildcats at Tennessee Volunteers – Over 138
The 5th ranked Villanova Wildcats & 17th ranked Tennessee Volunteers will square off at Mohegan Sun Arena this Saturday afternoon in the Cheez-It Hall of Fame Tip-Off and I’m expecting a high-scoring game in this one.
Both Villanova & Tennessee have been lighting up the scoreboard so far this season as both teams are averaging about 90.0 ppg. Both teams like to get up and down the court quickly and have no hesitation to shoot from long-range as they are each averaging bout 14 three-pointers per game.
Over is 4-1 in the Wildcats last 5 games overall and 12-5 in the Wildcats last 17 neutral site games. Over in 9-3 in the Volunteers last 12 neutral site games.
Obviously, some of these numbers are inflated due to the level of competition early in the season, however, Villanova hasn’t looked great defensively this season allowing their last two opponents (UCLA & Howard) to put 81+ points against them and as I think the Tennessee defense isn’t as strong as they have yet to face an offense like Villanova’s, I think the play here is to take the Over.
Brett’s Pick Over: 138 -110
