Tennessee teams you can bet on
The legalization of sports betting in Tennessee means you finally are able to bet on pro teams like the Titans, Grizzlies, and Predators, while also getting to wager on college squads like the Volunteers and Commodores, among others. Below is an overview of the Tennessee teams you are able to bet on at FanDuel Sportsbook.
Starting off with the professional team that has called Tennessee home the longest, and that’s the NFL’s Tennessee Titans. The Titans moved to Tennessee in 1997 after leaving Houston. They were known as the Tennessee Oilers for two years before being renamed the Titans in 1999. The Titans have reached the Super Bowl once since the move, losing to the St. Louis Rams in Super Bowl XXIV.
The year after the Titans came to town, the Nashville Predators joined the NHL. The Predators missed the playoffs their first five seasons in Nashville, but have only missed them three times since. The Preds made it all the way to the Stanley Cup Final in 2017 before losing to the Pittsburgh Penguins in six games. Predators games, and all other NHL games can be bet on using the FanDuel app.
Then in 2001, the NBA’s Vancouver Grizzlies moved to Memphis and became the Memphis Grizzlies. Success has been tough to come by so far, as the Grizzlies have only advanced out of the first round of the playoffs three times in 19 seasons. Though the Grizzlies did reach the Western Conference Finals in 2013 before getting swept by the San Antonio Spurs. On the FanDuel Sportsbook app you can bet on all Grizzlies games and those of the other 29 NBA teams, as well. Both pregame and live betting options are available.
The final Tennessee pro team you can bet on at FanDuel is Nashville SC in Major League Soccer. Nashville played its first regular season game Feb. 29, 2020, losing to Atlanta United FC. The team’s first win game came Aug. 12 against FC Dallas. FanDuel Sportsbook has live and pregame betting options for all MLS games.
As for NCAA games that you can bet on, FanDuel has odds for college football and men’s college basketball.
For football, that means you are able to bet on any of the four FBS teams from Tennessee: the Memphis Tigers, Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders, Tennessee Volunteers and Vanderbilt Commodores.
There also are six FCS football squads in Tennessee: the Austin Peay Governors, Chattanooga Mocs, East Tennessee State Buccaneers, Tennessee State Tigers, Tennessee Tech Golden Eagles and UT Martin Skyhawks. At FanDuel Sportsbook you will be able to bet on some of these teams’ games, but, based on their opponents each week, lines will not always be available.
As for NCAA men’s basketball, all the teams listed above will be available to wager on most of the time, as well as two additional teams. Both the Belmont Bruins and Lipscomb Bison have basketball teams, but not football squads.
And remember that live betting and prop bets involving individual performances are not legal on college games.
FanDuel futures bets
FunDuel’s futures markets across all the major sports are pretty much exactly what you would want to see from a Tennessee sportsbook. For this section, we will go over the types of futures bets you can expect to be able to make on the local teams using the FanDuel app.
As is the case with most things in the sports world, football is king, and that’s true of FanDuel’s NFL futures market, too. You can place futures wagers on the Titans and all NFL teams to make the playoffs, win their conference or division and win the Super Bowl. There also are over/under bets for a team’s regular season wins. And as long as there still is an unbeaten and/or winless team you can bet on the chances someone goes 16-0 or 0-16. FanDuel online sportsbook also has player futures, including betting on the regular season MVP and Offensive and Defensive Player of the Year. Finally, there are futures for which player will lead the league in passing yards, rushing yards and total receptions.
In the NHL your choices are smaller, but there still are plenty of futures markets at FanDuel. You can wager on the Predators to win the Stanley Cup title, and there will be odds for division and conference winners, too. When it comes to individual futures, it is possible that your only options will be picking the regular season and postseason MVPs.
If you’re hoping to make futures bets on the Grizzlies and the rest of the NBA, FanDuel Sportsbook in Tennessee has you covered. You can bet on which team will win the Larry O’Brien Trophy or which team will win its respective divisions and conference titles. And just like in the NHL, your only player future bets could be for the regular and NBA Finals MVP award winners.
Currently FanDuel does not have futures available for MLS, so you are not able to pick Nashville SC to win the MLS Cup on the futures market. That obviously could change, though.
The college futures markets are much smaller for both football and basketball.
In football, the futures markets on FanDuel are for the overall national champion and individual conference winners. That means you can bet on Memphis, Middle Tennessee, Tennessee and Vanderbilt. But even those teams might not be listed if the odds of them winning the overall title are too long.
In men’s basketball, FanDuel has futures markets for winning the NCAA title and for reaching the Final Four during March Madness. As was the case in football, the number of Tennessee basketball teams with futures odds on them could be pretty small because the others simply aren’t considered to have even remote chances to reach the Final Four. That easily could change though if any of the local teams are having a good season and definitely would change if they make the Big Dance.
