Why Miami Will Cover Against Tennessee

Tennessee Has Confidence

Tennessee has confidence and they have won each of the games they have played this season. The last game came last game Tuesday against Syracuse and they were able to secure a 96-70 victory. The Volunteers shot 53.8 percent from the field and 34.5 percent from behind the three-point line. Chaz Lanier had a strong game putting up 26 points, four rebounds, and two assists.

Miami vs Tennessee Prediction

Give me Miami here. Yes, they are on a losing streak, but they are competitive. Miami is still averaging 79.3 points per game and a couple of games ago against Arkansas they only lost by a couple of points. Tennessee is a good offensive team, but their defense is going to struggle too and the Hurricanes offense is going to run up the score here. Miami is going to keep this game close. Back Miami against the spread here.
