Radford vs. Tennessee Prediction: Volunteers Should Win, but the Price Is a Pass
Analysis updated November 9, 2026 at 1:37 AM CST
Tennessee opened with a 31-point win, while Radford has lost its first two games by 14 points each. The Volunteers should win, but the SPF prices are a pass.
Tennessee has the early edge
Tennessee should win at home after beating Wofford 90-59 in its opener. Radford University Athletics reports that DeWayne Brown II had 17 points and 17 rebounds in that game, while Terrence Hill Jr. added 17 points off the bench.
Radford enters 0-2 after losing 76-62 at San Francisco and 84-70 at California. Ja'Corey Robinson has averaged 9.0 points, 7.0 rebounds and 5.0 assists for the Highlanders. Those results favor Tennessee, but they don't show how either team will perform against a 28.5-point spread.
The SPF prices are too steep
Tennessee's -50000 moneyline offers almost no return. The Volunteers are also -28.5, but there aren't confirmed starters, injury details or enough team-level data to support a margin that large. The same limitation applies to the 152.5 total because reliable pace and efficiency figures aren't available.
Wise Guy Team, a betting-splits tracker, reported that Tennessee received 83% of DraftKings spread tickets and 100% of the spread handle early Monday. That sportsbook-specific support doesn't make -28.5 a worthwhile wager. Tennessee is the likely winner, while every listed market is a pass.
