💰 Best Bet #1 [Tennessee / Spread / -14.5 at -110 / 58% / Tennessee’s superior adjusted efficiency (KenPom #6 off, #8 def) and Rutgers’ road struggles (3-7 ATS away) create a strong cover edge on neutral site.]
💰 Best Bet #2 [Under / Total / 143.5 at -110 / 55% / Both teams play deliberate tempos (Tennessee 68th, Rutgers 220th in pace), with Rutgers allowing 68.2 ppg defensively in recent games, favoring a controlled, low-scoring affair.]
💰 Best Bet #3 [Tennessee / Moneyline / -950 / 78% / Dominant form (9-1 SU last 10) and talent gap over Rutgers (4-6 SU) make Tennessee the clear favorite, even at short odds.]

Top 3 Player Props

Player Prop #1: Dalton Knecht / Over Points / 22.5 at -115 / 65% / Knecht averages 24.1 ppg on 55% FG vs. similar defenses; Rutgers ranks 180th in def eff, allowing 18.2 ppg to wings, with high usage (32%) in neutral games.
Player Prop #2: Clifford Omoruyi / Under Rebounds / 9.5 at -110 / 62% / Omoruyi pulls 8.7 rpg but faces Tennessee’s elite rebounding D (top 20 opp reb % allowed); recent form shows under in 4/5 vs. top-25 teams, limited by Tennessee’s interior length.
Player Prop #3: Jordan Gainey / Over Points / 12.5 at -120 / 68% / Gainey scores 13.2 ppg off bench with 28% usage; Rutgers’ perimeter D vulnerable (150th in 3P def), and his 4.1 ast/game setup boosts scoring in fast breaks.

⚖️ Analysis Summary
Public sentiment heavily favors Tennessee, aligning with sharp money (65% handle) and line stability, making following the favorite optimal rather than fading. Rutgers’ defensive metrics (adj D #112) hold up in low-pace games, but Tennessee’s efficiency edge (adj O #6) suggests controlled dominance. Overall scoring outlook points to under, with both offenses inefficient against stout defenses (combined 102.3 poss-adjusted pts/100).
