College Basketball Picks & Predictions for Friday, December 17, 2010
By Drew Sharper
CHARLOTTE, NC (TheSpread) – No. 7 Tennessee looks to bounce back from an upset loss earlier this week when the Volunteers take on Charlotte on Friday. Here is a breakdown of my pick for the game.
Tennessee is 7-1 on the season and playing in its first true road game while Charlotte is 4-6 on the season and 3-1 at home.
Oddsmakers from online sportsbook SBGGLOBAL.com have released their odds for this game and made Tennessee a 12-point favorite on the road. The over/under has been set at 143. Here is a look at the trends and my pick for tonight’s game.
Tennessee vs. Charlotte, 8PM ET
Tennessee is 5-1-1 against the spread in their last 7 games following a failed cover and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 non-conference games while Charlotte is 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games against the SEC. My pick is Tennessee to cover as they should play a motivated game after getting a wake up call in a loss to Oakland.
