Free Maryland Terrapins vs Tennessee Volunteers NCAAB Prediction:
Free Spread Prediction: Maryland Terrapins +6.5
After boiling down all the statistics and trends, it is clear why the oddsmakers have placed the Tennessee Volunteers as the favorites to win. Not only do the Maryland Terrapins have a mediocre record vs the spread at away of late 5-5, but Tennessee also has the statistical edge in 3-pointers made per game and overall field goal percentage. Yet, our model shows that the current odds of -6.5 points in favor of the Volunteers is too high, and there is good value on grabbing Maryland vs the spread. While most bettors will likely be piling on the Tennessee Volunteers as the favorite, we feel good about taking the opposite side and grabbing Maryland taking the points.
