What the Spread Tells Us
Oddsmakers do not expect this to be a close game. But it is within 10 points, indicating it won't be a complete blowout.
What the Moneyline Tells Us
The moneyline largely favors Tennessee, so much so that placing a bet on the Vols wouldn't be worth the minimal payout that one would receive if they win. The huge payout on the Kentucky moneyline may be tempting, but the Wildcats are major underdogs for a reason.
