Our Michigan Wolverines vs Tennessee Prediction
Michigan is the clear favorite in this game; however, given that both teams have been perfect against the spread in the tournament, backing the over looks to be the best betting option. The Wolverines have been one of the most dominant teams in the tournament thus far, and as a result, are averaging 95.3 points per game. That being said, their defense has still allowed 76.3 points per game, which is why the over is 3-0 in their three tournament games.
Tennessee, on the other hand, has been more sound defensively, allowing 63.3 points per game, but also has a consistent offense, averaging 77.6 points per game. Even though the Tennessee defense has been impressive, Michigan's offense is too strong. For that reason, our Tennessee Volunteers vs Michigan Wolverines prediction is: Over 146.5 Total Points.All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
