Tennessee has struggled a bit of late as the Volunteers have failed to cover the number in three of the last four and are just 2-2 straight up over that stretch. Vanderbilt on the other hand has covered the number in five of its last seven and the Commodores have a stingy defense that is allowing an average of only 63.6 points per game and opponents are shooting only 41.8%. Vanderbilt will come up big at home on Tuesday with an upset over the No. 22 ranked Volunteers. Final Score Prediction, Vanderbilt Commodores win and cover ATS 68-65.
