1.5 favorites against A&M at home?

[YankeeVol]

We opened -11.5

It's -10.5 now

Think it will be a tight game. A&M has been struggling, but their physicality will present some challenges for us. Plus, I fully expect we will get their very best. They’ve been hemorrhaging and need a Q1 win to get back on course.

I expect A&M will get our best shot as well, though. Our guys will be hungry to get a little revenge and understand that this is a must win game.

Close game, but a close game I expect us to prevail in.

A&M is fighting for their lives again and we have struggled against this type of team. I'm prepared to chew some nails off tonight. I would be suprised if it's not close.

Vols will beat TAMU 90-70.

This aged well.

50% of what I say is true. Hopefully, you can determine for yourself what I’m saying. Vegas knows.

Sounds like your Vegas didn’t know S***!

They’re not “my Vegas.” I don’t bet.

I won money. Our players didn't like their coach acted like an ass last time. Barnes didn't approve. I told my son we would win by a minimum if 20. Also teased, Kansas, Belmont, Richmond. Easy money.

Every time someone makes a thread like this it has not turned out well.

Not EVERY time.

I think some on here are overlooking our loss to A&M. Sure, it was an above average shooting night for A&M from 3, but at the same time we had no answer for them on either defense or offense.

A&M was consistently beating us with isolation plays on offense and out rebounding us when they missed.

On the other side, it wasn't just us missing shots, but we were struggling to create any open looks and were unable to get inside the paint. We were beat soundly.

I hope the crowd emvironment and home whistle will help us get the W. But I'm not in the least surprised by a close point spread. Just need to survive this one.

Does this guy seem like an ass to you? He’s clearly very knowledgeable of the game and knows we have the stronger roster. He was super excited to be winning at home against a better team and simply got carried away while calling the time out. Doesn’t make him an ass.

Well our players responded. And our coach wasn't happy about it. I watched all that crap. I dont care how much he praised our team. I won my bet. I won't my 4 team parlay so don't care. Our fans cared enough to checker the arena bc of it. I knew we would win by 20. You're arguing to a guy that didn't care one thing about buzz. I cared if they could win by at least 4 in my teaser. I was right. I didn't need the teaser.
