How to Bet on the Tennessee Volunteers

With the Volunteers in the thick of the SEC race, monitoring the betting lines is essential. Here is how the odds looked for a recent game against Missouri.

Tennessee Moneyline

A moneyline bet requires a bettor to correctly pick the winner of the game. Your payout is determined by the odds assigned to each team.

• Tennessee (-175 moneyline)
• Missouri (+145 moneyline)

In this matchup, Tennessee was the favorite (indicated by the minus sign). A bettor would have needed to wager $175 on the Vols to win $100. Conversely, a $100 wager on the underdog Missouri Tigers returned a $145 profit when they secured the 73–69 upset.

Tennessee Point Spread

A point spread wager focuses on the margin of victory rather than just who wins. Using the Tennessee vs. Missouri matchup:

• Tennessee -3.5 (-112)
• Missouri +3.5 (-108)

Tennessee "covers the spread" if they win by 4 points or more. Missouri covers if they win outright or lose by 3 points or less. The -112 indicates the "juice" or "vig"; you must bet $112 to win a $100 profit. In this case, since Missouri won the game, those who bet on Missouri +3.5 won.

Tennessee Over/Unders

Over/under totals look at the combined final score of both teams. For the Missouri game, the total was set at 143.5 points:

• Over 143.5 (-112)
• Under 143.5 (-108)

If the final score is 73–69 (142 total points), the Under wins. Betting the Under at -108 means a bettor would earn a $100 profit for every $108 risked.

Tennessee Prop Bets

Prop bets allow you to wager on specific player milestones. For Tennessee fans, popular props center on their dynamic stars:

• Ja'Kobi Gillespie Over/Under 17.5 points scored
• Nate Ament Over/Under 6.5 rebounds
• Felix Okpara Over/Under 1.5 blocks

Note: While online sports betting is legal in Tennessee, the state prohibits individual college player props. To place these, you must be in a state like Kentucky or New Jersey that allows them.

Tennessee Future Odds

Futures odds are long-term bets on events happening later in the season. If you believe Coach Barnes has a championship-caliber squad, you might place a futures bet on:

• Tennessee to win the SEC Tournament (+450)
• Tennessee to make the Final Four (+850)
• Tennessee to win the NCAA National Championship (+4000)
