Already down to -8.5 as people jump on those numbers they'll decrease....Expect it to get closer to 0..maybe 3 by weekend. I mean if you just look at rosters and performance in games this year strength of schedule etc...the number doesn't make much sense. Of course there's the psyche component , and it's large here.....it's "Alabama"...and I don't think everyone is sure "Tennessee" is back yet or out of choke mode. This game will decide that. I really am starting to feel better about our chances the more I watch Alabama highlights....they don't look like their Myth this year.

No way it moves to 3, let alone 0, unless there’s a significant injury that changes the game like Levis for UK. That line changed a few points when it became clear he wouldn’t play. Usually lines only move a point or two at most.

I just happened to see this even though you replied to yourself. Yes, that’s much clearer. In general, I’d agree. Arkansas is the only decent team they dominated and Arkansas is looking worse and worse each week. Plus, Arkansas had a real chance to make it a game. I think where you’re going with this is that we shouldn’t be afraid of them and I definitely would agree with that as well. They’ll be favored because they’re Bama but I’d take UT and whatever points Vegas is giving.

Yes thats the point, they arent as good as they have been in years past, does that equate to a win? Idk but I sure hope so.

Again, you’re arguing points I’m not making. You aren’t a good listener, or in this case reader, are you? You’re the one who said Bama hadn’t looked that dominant in ANY game. I gave you 4 of their 6 games where they dominated. Maybe you just weren’t clear in communicating your main point in the first place but since you change your argument every time you post I can’t follow your main point.

I am a wonderful reader, you are correct I did say any and should have said every, I'll work on that, you should work on not sounding like Brian Kelly.

Lol..I would be..I love what Heupel has done but for anyone to think we blow out Ala is out of their damn mind. If there's a blowout it's them blowing us out, yet again. We do have our best shot since Saban got there and can win it if everything goes right. But until we prove we can I will have my doubts. I feel better against Ga than Ala. And I am not sure we beat GA. Seems like in both those games whatever can go wrong will and does. Just reality.

There were a few people here essentially saying the same thing about LSU this time last week. I’m not predicting anything. We’re basically in new territory when it comes to expectations. Because of the way this team plays and scores almost any opponent that slips up can look up and find themselves 3 TDs behind. And while there’s no way I would predict that for Bama it isn’t out of the realm of possibilities and especially not this Bama team and how they’ve played on the road

This game boils down to AL quarterbacks. We know we are in good shape, but AL is vulnerable at QB right now. Their message boards do not have confidence in offensive coordinator or Milton, and are even saying doubt they win without Young.
They are screaming for Ty Simpson to play if Young can’t. Being in west Tennessee I saw him play few games, I’m all for his success at AL and hold no grudges as long as not affect us.
But, dang it sure would hurt if he came in and won the game for them!

As with every backup QB Tn plays, they have the game of their life . I’d expect Milroe to run for 400 yards and pass for 500. 😂😂😂😂😂

Proud to be 5-0 but who have we beaten?

At one time we were celebrating a Pitt W in OT (with Tillman) and now Pitt has loss to GEORGIA crappin Tech.

Finally beat UF but it wasn't pretty, we should have destroyed them. They actually had a chance to win the game.

Disemboweled an LSU team that won't win 6 games, the same team stinkin Auburn took down to the wire last week.

Don't look now folks but WE'RE SUPPOSE TO BE 5-0.

The season starts next week in Knoxville.

Then we will know who we are.

Hurt? Nothing. I just think it's a bit nuts.

I think it's crazy just thinking about winning at all, let alone by two touchdowns. Doesn't mean I'm not hopeful.

I've seen enough this year to know we can play with anybody. This is the 1st time in 15yrs that I believe we'll win this game. And I don't think it will be anything lucky. I just like what I've seen to this point vs what I've seen from Bama to this point. I think last year's game is really where we got this thing rolling. We have played with a different confidence every since. I don't think Bama is better than last year & I think we are far better than last year.

We’ve beaten more quality teams than most if not all of the teams ranked ahead of us.

If we beat Bama will you then say Bama hasn’t really been Bama this year so we will find out who we are when we play Georgia?

Bama has more to loose in this game than we do.We can loose this game and still play for the Naty.Although I do believe we will win this one because our boys want it more.

I thought OP was crazy but after yesterday’s games…

If Milroe starts for ‘Bama and we’re +2 or more on turnovers? It might not be close. Big ifs. I’ll take a win if it’s by half a point and sing Rocky Top all night long.

I'll be surprised if Young is close to 100 percent
If he were anywhere close to that without risk of further injury, he would have played last night, especially in the second half

Yeah. Pitt choked away a game they should have won. They’re still pretty likely to win 9-10 games and finish ranked

Seems like every week folks like you predict a loss then declare the opponent no good after UT wins. I have little doubt you’ll do the same if UT beats Bama.

UF played desperate and needed a couple of miracles to get back in it. LSU has 6 chances to win two games. My bet is they will. I also suspect UF will take down someone unexpectedly. AR is hot and cold but pretty good when hot.

What were you saying before the season? Six wins? 7?
The Vols probably should win 10 now. Are you just so desperate to not be wrong that you’re poopooing the schedule now? Couldn’t just be that UT is now a good, very well coached team, right?
