Corey’s Free Pick
Tennessee looked great on the road in Madison last Friday, and I believe they remain sharp with a pair of road tests with ACC schools on the horizon. The margin on this contest is large, and while the Vols may very well cover the lofty number, I like targeting the total a bit more here. Rick Barnes’ group is a smothering bunch, and this contest could look a lot like one-sided season-opening victory over Tennessee Tech, as Wofford may find trouble putting points on the board in Knoxville. Let’s back Tennessee’s defense with the Under here, and don’t shy away from the spread as well.
