🎲 Oregon State vs. Tennessee Betting Odds, Picks & Prediction | Tonight 3/19

As part of the first NCAA Tournament games in the Round of 64, we’ll see the Oregon State Beavers take on the Tennessee Volunteers. In miraculous fashion, Oregon State rattled off three straight wins in the Pac-12 Tournament in order to earn an automatic big to The Big Dance. Waiting for them will be a strong, but inconsistent, Tennessee team.

In the past, a lot of these No. 5 vs. No. 12 matchups have produced plenty of upsets and excitement. If the college basketball regular season was any indication, this edition of March Madness will be a wild one. Here are the key trends and my predictions to help you find an edge on the NCAAB betting picks markets.

Tonight’s Betting Picks | Oregon State vs. Tennessee

Oregon State vs. Tennessee Game Info

Oregon State Beavers (17-12) vs. Tennessee Volunteers (18-8)
Date: Friday, March 19, 2021
Start Time: 4:30 p.m. EST
Venue: Bankers Life Fieldhouse – Indianapolis, Ind.
Coverage: TNT

Both Oregon State and Tennessee have a lot of things going in their favor. However, one of these teams just played their hearts out in order to get to this point; the other one has been preparing for this moment all season. I believe that will end up being the determining factor in this game.

Oregon State vs. Tennessee Spread Trends and Prediction: Tennessee -7.5

Tennessee has loads of talent and athleticism, which should give Oregon State plenty of trouble. Oregon State is coming off a very emotional weekend and probably had zero expectations of playing past the Pac-12 Tournament. I fear that all of that momentum was way too much to duplicate all over again this time around, especially against a well-coached team with time to prepare. In fact, Tennessee had a perfect 5-0 record against the spread when playing on at least four days of rest this season.

Look for Tennessee to take an early lead and never look back against Oregon State. Tennessee was 6-1 against the spread against teams outside the SEC this season.

Oregon State vs. Tennessee Total Trends and Predictions: Over 130 points

Since I expect this to be a close game, I might as well lean towards the over. Oregon State has a few trends pointing to high-scoring games in this situation. As an underdog, 12 of their 18 games have gone over the total. To me this means that they play very well against tough competition.

I don’t think it’ll be enough to beat Tennessee, or even cover the spread, but it seems like Oregon State will give them everything they’ve got.

Matt’s Pick – Tennessee -7.5

While John Fulkerson is questionable for this contest after taking a vicious elbow to the face, Tennessee has enough depth to overcome Oregon State. The Beavers shot nearly 10% above their season average from 3-point range in the Pac-12 tournament. Tennessee ranks 11th in overall defensive efficiency, defending the entire court well. On the other side, Oregon State ranks outside the top 200 in interior defense. While Fulkerson gives Tennessee the best size advantage, Josiah-Jordan James and Yves Pons can still exploit this matchup against Oregon State.
