Arkansas at Tennessee: Three things to know
- Arkansas had a season-opening win streak snapped with an 81-68 loss to Missouri on Saturday. The Razorbacks failed to take advantage of a plus-12 in the turnover margin by shooting a paltry 26.8% from the floor. UA's 68 points marked the program's fewest in a single game since Feb. 18 last season.
- Tennessee was undone, 71-63, in its last game (Jan. 2 vs. Alabama). The 71 points allowed marked the most the Volunteers have yielded in 2020-21. UT heads into its game against Arkansas ranked second in the nation at 55.0 points per game allowed.
- The Vols split against the Razorbacks in 2019-20, winning by 21 at home and losing by 17 on the road. Prior to Saturday's setback against Alabama, Tennessee had been 6-0 at home, with an average margin of victory of 28.1 points.

Arkansas at Tennessee: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Tennessee 75, Arkansas 67
Money line (ML)
PASS on figures that bracket value odds on both sides.
Against the spread (ATS)
Look for a bounce-back from Arkansas after an awful shooting performance in an ATS loss on Saturday. And a bounce against a Tennessee five which has alternated ATS margins between double-digit wins and double-digit losses in four straight. Dating back to last season, the Razorbacks are 5-0 ATS after ATS losses in the previous game.
TAKE ARKANSAS +9.5 (-120).
Over/Under (O/U)
The Under is trending on the UT side (2-6 O/U in the last eight games), and the Over is trending on the UA side (4-0-1 O/U in the last five). In a game where there is decent potential for a lot of attempts from the line and an upped tempo, there is a slight lean on the OVER 141.5 (-115).
