Why Oklahoma can cover
While Oklahoma has lost two of its last three games, its lone win during that stretch came at home against then-No. 24 Vanderbilt. The Sooners were 3.5-point favorites in that 97-67 blowout win, as freshman guard Jeremiah Fears poured in 21 points to go along with six rebounds and four assists. Fears is Oklahoma’s second-leading scorer this season, averaging 15.9 points per game.
Jalon Moore is averaging a team-high 17.9 points per game, but freshman Dayton Forsythe was the leading scorer (13 points) in the loss to Auburn. He made all 11 of his free-throw attempts and has scored in double figures in back-to-back games. Oklahoma has covered the spread in four of its last five games, and it is 4-1 in its last five Saturday home games. See which team to pick here.
Why Tennessee can cover
Tennessee lost back-to-back games against No. 1 Auburn and then-No. 12 Kentucky, but it has bounced back with top-15 wins over Florida and Missouri.

Senior guard Jahmai Mashack also stepped up, tallying eight points, eight rebounds and five assists.
The Vols added an 85-81 win over the Tigers on Wednesday, as senior guard Zakai Zeigler returned from a knee injury and Igor Milicic Jr. returned from flu-like symptoms.
