Free Betting Pick: Tennessee Volunteers -5.5
The Tennessee Volunteers are my pick to win the national championship as they are a well-rounded team as they have interior scoring, three-point shooting, and veteran leadership. Tennessee ended the regular season off on a bad note as they lost to the Auburn Tigers, but to their advantage, they are well rested while Mississippi State will be playing in a back-to-back. Grant Williams is too much inside for the Bulldogs and the quest to a national championship starts here. Tennessee wins and covers, 79-70.
