Spread: Houston -2.5
Over/Under: 123.5

This Elite Eight matchup pits the Tennessee Volunteers (30-7) against the Houston Cougars (32-4) in what promises to be a thrilling contest. Both teams have battled their way through the NCAA Tournament and are now one win away from the Final Four.

Houston Cougars enter as slight favorites (-2.5) after their impressive run, and their record speaks for itself. Houston’s strength all season comes on the defensive end.

Tennessee Volunteers come to this game and bring a, 7-1 ATS, record in their last 8 games played on a Sunday when playing on the road.

Prediction:

This game is expected to be a close, hard-fought battle. Given Houston’s slight edge as the favorite and superior record, the smart money will most likely be on the Cougars. However, Tennessee is very good on the road, as evidenced by their Sunday record. The low over/under of 123.5 suggests a defensive struggle, which further reinforces the likelihood of a tight finish.

While Houston is the favorite, this game could go either way. Consider taking HOU -2.5, and if placing a total-points bet lean towards the under.
