Take the Vols. Tennessee is a perfect 9-0 at home this season and haven’t really had a close contest this season. The Tide are playing well, but they are a different team on the road. Dalton Knecht is currently playing incredible basketball, and the Vols have so much talent around him, it makes the offense nearly unstoppable. Vols continue their winning ways at home on Saturday.
