Texas A&M Aggies vs Tennessee Volunteers Betting Preview/Prop Pick

The SEC Championship Game is set for Sunday, and it features an interesting matchup and one that was not expected. The Texas A&M Aggies are set to square off against the Tennessee Volunteers with a trip to the NCAA Tournament on the line. 

Texas A&M came into this tournament as the number 8 seed, but they are playing their best basketball of the year. The Aggies have now won seven straight games, and they come into this one with a ton of momentum.

Tennessee is currently in the middle of a six-game winning streak, and they have lost just seven total games all year. The Volunteers are the number two seed in this event, and they have played like it all tournament long. 

The Tennessee Volunteers are 6.5-point betting favorites over the Texas A&M Aggies in the SEC Championship Game. 

Aggies Scoring Some Points

The Texas A&M Aggies are scoring 73.5 points per game this season, but they have been much better than that of late. Texas A&M just scored 82 points in the semifinal win over Auburn, and that offense is playing with some confidence. 

Quenton Jackson leads the way for the Aggies with 14.8 points per game, but he has gotten plenty of help in this tournament. Texas A&M is going to shoot a ton of three-point shots, and they are tough to beat when they are making them. 

Texas A&M has also been playing terrific defense in the SEC Tournament, but they need to win this one by scoring some points. 

Tennessee Shutting Teams Down

Tennessee plays ferocious defense at all five positions, and they have been shutting opponents down during this run. The Volunteers are giving up just 63 points per game, and they are going to make life difficult on the Aggies.

This Tennessee team has plenty of offensive weapons as well, and they can really shoot the basketball. Guard Kennedy Chandler leads the team with 13.8 points per game, but he also sets the table for the rest of his teammates. 

The Volunteers are usually able to dictate the pace and tempo of most games, and that will be the strategy in this game as well.

Tennessee Takes Care of Business

Texas A&M has been on a remarkable roll, and they need to win this game if they want to make it to the NCAA Tournament. The Aggies have been doing everything right up to this point, but taking on Tennessee is a completely different challenge. 

Tennessee looked terrific in the semifinals against a great Kentucky team, and the Volunteers have looked like one of the best teams in the country this season. The Volunteers can win games in a variety of ways but look for their offense to take control on Sunday. 

It has been a terrific run for the Aggies, but it will all come crashing down on Sunday. Bet the Tennessee Volunteers -6.5 as they take care of business and win this game by close to double digits.
