Which Tennessee Sports Can You Bet On?
There are no specific laws regarding which Tennessee teams you can or canât bet on, so this largely comes down to what each operator decides to offer. The market depth and variety for each sport will also vary across Tennessee sportsbook apps, so weâll cover the most common offerings below.
Tennessee Football
Football betting is king in the US, and itâs no different with Tennessee football. This means youâll find the most variety when it comes to betting on Vols football compared to other sports. In addition to your standard bets, youâll find team-level game props you can wager on before kickoff.
Because of the popularity, youâll also find betting markets released far earlier than other Vols sports. As an example, FanDuel Sportsbook TN already has a handful of game lines available in March, as well as MVP and championship odds.
Tennessee Basketball
Although weâre a few years removed from the Lady Vols dominance, Tennessee menâs basketball has been picking up the pace in recent seasons. Basketball betting is a step below football in terms of popularity, but wagering on Tennessee March Madness odds is one of the most exciting events of the year.
Tennessee Baseball
Both the menâs and womenâs baseball teams have been in national title contention in recent years and while the betting options arenât as expansive, most operators will at least have moneyline wagers for key games as well as futures markets like College World Series winner and SEC Championship.
Latest Volunteers Odds
The number of available betting markets for the Volunteers will depend on which sports or in season and/or the betting site you're on. As of May 2024, here are the latest Vols odds when it comes to futures markets.

Types of Bets You Can Place on the Tennessee Volunteers
All of the bet types laid out below will be available for football wagers, but some betting markets are extremely limited depending on which Vols team you want to bet on. This is especially true for betting on college baseball.
Moneyline wagers are the most common and straightforward wager type for betting on the Volunteers as you're simply betting on who you think will win the game in question. When you look at the odds for a moneyline bet, the - sign denotes the favorite while the + sign is reserved for the underdog. The larger the number next to the + or -, the higher the discrepancy between the teams. Spread bets are similar in that the larger the spread, the bigger the perceived difference in the two teams at hand. For example, you may see a spread of just three points in football if the Vols are taking on a team of equal talent. When the Volunteers play a smaller school, however, you'll see the spread approach 14 points or more. With totals or over/under wagers, you are tasked with deciding whether both teams will combine for more than or less than the betting line. If there is a total of 126.5 for a Vols basketball game, for instance, over bettors need the teams to combine for at least 127 points to win. A total of 126 or less would be a win for under bettors.
Can I Bet on College Player Props in Tennessee?
No, Tennessee sports betting law does not allow for individual player props on college athletics. This is becoming the norm across the country as few states permit it. Additionally, live game props are also prohibited.
Are There Promos for Betting on the Vols?
Unless otherwise specifically stated, you can claim Tennessee betting promos for your favorite Volunteers team. Itâs always a good idea to read through the terms and conditions of any sportsbook bonus before claiming it, but particularly if you plan on using it on a Vols bet.
