FAU vs Tennessee Prediction | Sweet 16 March Madness Expert Picks

Quite simply, Florida Atlantic (FAU) shouldn’t even be here. If not for a blatant missed call that led to their game-winning bucket over Memphis in the first round, FAU got to matchup with Farleigh Dickinson. Seeing that Farleigh Dickinson was the shortest team in the tournament and FAU and was able to avoid Zach Edey and Purdue, they have had one of the easiest roads to get here.

Unfortunately, they now match up against a Tennessee team that is extremely physical and sports a great defense. If that wasn’t tough enough, Tennessee guard Santiago Vescovi runs a Volunteers offense that looked solid against a touch Duke defense last round.

To put it simply, Tennessee shouldn’t have too much problem with an FAU team that struggled to get past Farleigh Dickinson. While Tennessee’s offense likely won’t run away with this game, their defense should be able to keep FAU’s offense in check. Bet Tennessee to cover the spread.

Our college basketball betting FAU vs Tennessee prediction today will be Tennessee covers the spread at BetUS. 

For what it’s worth, the ESPN Matchup Predictor gives Tennessee an 84.4% chance to win.
