Bama opens as 26.5 pt favorites

[Aesius]

Too high, IMO.

That's the line for a Dooley coached team. I think we will keep it close until the 4th. After that, anything could happen.

 

[SDV]

That's insulting

 

[Spartacavolus]

that's the line of an NFL developmental team, which is what bama is right now

 

[utvolpj]

Ouch

 

[CountVolcula]

Too high

-17 is what I would put it at

 

[VolsSportsFan]

It will come down, but I really hope anyone seriously didn't expect the line to be less than double digits.

 

[Vol in Mich]

Sounds about right. Take the points!

 

[theutvolunteers]

Wow. Didn't think it would be that high.

 

[BoColoco]

Seems a little high but not outrageously so. It will come down by game time.

 

[Aesius]

Anyone remember the line in 2009?

 

[BanditVol]

I love it. Most bettor's are aware of the recent 45-3, 48-7 and 52-0 run against the likes of Georgia State, Kentucky and Arkansas. They will thinking another blowout. Let em.....

I never bet on the Vols, but I am seriously tempted to.

I think more motivation for the team.

 

[AJeray4TN]

Holy crap. I believe they'll win handily, but give me a break.

 

[Bluetic]

We beat that spread, but not the tide.

 

[casetopia]

way too high with the history of these two teams

 

[Spartacavolus]

since A & M, they have outscored their opponents 201-16.

 

[G8rh8r]

I'm not surprised. It sounds high, but look at their record this year. They have won handily each time.

 

[bleedorange0037]

Seems about right. They've beaten us by 31 points each of the past three years and Bama has flat out been on a roll since the aTm game.

 

[Volsfaninva917]

25 point win over ole miss was the closest anyone has come to bama this year other than a&m. Tennessee coming off an emotional home win and traveling to Tuscaloosa this line is about right. However I think money will be laid on Tennessee this week that will push the line down to around 24 or so

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

With that kind of prediction, we should just forfeit now & save everyone the trouble.

 

[volatil]

Take the Big Orange and points.

 

[Volsfaninva917]

Take the Big Orange and points.

I'm curious to see what the over/under will be the under definatly has my interest in this game

 

[jjay2518]

I don't buy the "let down after an emotional win" line of thinking for this game. This is Bama. We'll be as up for this as any we've been up for all season. If I were betting I wouldn't put money on Bama covering that.

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

I hope it goes up to 50, they need a huge dose of overconfidence.

With that kind of prediction, we should just forfeit now & save everyone the trouble.

So if we cannot win you do not want to play. Glad the team is not like you.
