Line: -2.5 Tennessee

Tennessee will be hosting the Cardinals tonight at 7:00, the Volunteers will be hoping to break a 3 game losing streak and retaining an undefeated home record of 5-0 this season. 9-1 Louisville’s only loss came on the road to Arkansas.

The Vols are making 46.8% of their shots from the field this season, 9% higher than Louisville has allowed to opponents(37.8%). Louisville averages 13.2 three pointers per game this season, which is 5.6 shots made more than the 7.6 Tennessee allows.

Ja’kobie Gillespie averages 17.3 PPG and 2.7 rebounds for Tennessee.

Louisville’s Ryan Conwell has averaged 19.4 PPG. Mikel Brown Jr. has averaged 16.6 PPG.

My predictions:

Tennessee is likely to fall out of the AP Top 25 with a home court loss to Louisville, lot on the line for the Vols making me believe this edge will be enough to overcome the Cardinals, breaking their losing streak.

Go Vols 🟧⬜️🟧⬜️🟧
