The No. 4 Tennessee Volunteers have the opportunity to finish the regular season strong tonight when they host the No. 15 Kentucky Wildcats.

Tennessee is a 9-point favorite on BetMGM Sportsbook. I can see why the Vols are that big of a favorite, but it just feels a smidge too high with how Kentucky has played recently.

Tennessee enters this game on a seven-game winning streak, but four of their past five wins have been close games decided by eight points or fewer. This isn’t a real criticism of the Volunteers because their last three wins were all over ranked teams, it just shows that good teams are capable of keeping it relatively close. It helps to have senior guard Dalton Knecht, whose fantastic season is skyrocketing him up draft boards.

Kentucky also comes in on a winning streak, having won its past four games. The Wildcats resemble one of John Calipari’s classic Kentucky teams of the 2010s with one-and-done freshmen Rob Dillingham, Reed Sheppard, Justin Edwards, along with senior Antonio Reeves. This team showed its high-end potential in a 117-95 win over ranked Alabama on Feb. 24, so I expect them to rise to the occasion in Knoxville.
