Mississippi State vs. Tennessee: College Basketball Best Bets, Picks & Predictions (Tuesday)
In our New Year’s Eve article, we accurately predicted UConn’s first loss to Xavier, and the Huskies’ 14-game winning streak to start the season abruptly ended. Now there are just two unbeaten teams left in Division I, and one of them takes the court today as New Mexico faces Fresno State in a late 11:00 p.m. ET tip.
Here are our best bets for Tuesday’s college basketball action. And here’s a closer look at Mississippi State vs. Tennessee.

Top College Basketball Betting Odds, Picks & Predictions: Mississippi State vs. Tennessee
This game has the feel of “the first to 60 wins†given how solid each team has been on the defensive end of the floor. The Volunteers rank first in adjusted defensive efficiency, effective field goal percentage, and 3-point percentage allowed (21.2%). Meanwhile, the Bulldogs are not far behind, ranking sixth, 12th, and 38th in the same categories. Mississippi State’s defense is a top-ten defense inside the arc (42.3% allowed), and Chris Jans’ squad has held 11 of the first 13 opponents to fewer than 60 points, while three of Tennessee’s first three opponents have cracked the 60-point barometer.
The Under has cashed in six of Mississippi State’s last seven road games, and is 4-0 in Tennessee’s last four games following a SU win.
Bet: Mississippi State-Tennessee Under 123.5 (-110 at DraftKings)
