Early Betting Line - Vols @ Dawgs

[LegionnaireOfTheMiserable]

I will definitely take that bet. They couldn’t beat Florida with their 3rd string QB by more than 16.

We went to OT with Florida at home.

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

Vols 16-17 point underdog via Vegas early lines.

That's an insult. I hope it stays that way and the Vols respond accordingly.

 

[rocketskates]

Way high. That’s nearly as many points as our defense has allowed per game this season. Win or lose, I think the defense will keep it tight. Beck has shown that he gets shaky when he’s hit and pressured, Banks will be dialing up the blitz package.

You have to click on Moneyline but you're right.

If it were legal in my state I'd throw $50 on that before UGA loses to Ole Miss.

 

[UTblood4life]

Remember our 01 team at Florida 18pt under dog was ridiculous

 

[EastTNVol6240]

Will be more like 7-10

 

[Mountvol]

Think these are preseason odds. No way it is this high

This is correct. Those were lines from this summer. Based on most power ratings I’ve looked at it would be something like UGA -6.5 to -8.5

 

[Mountvol]

Should see books open it back up to take some action on this game Wednesday/Thursday

 

[CAVPUT]

The only dawg I'm focused on is the one we play this Saturday. I refuse to look ahead in this conference and with this team.

 

[GulfCoasterVol]

The Miss State Dawgs ????

The Miss State Dawgs ????

A dog is a dawg is a dog. Bulldogs, too.

 

[NEO]

About right imo.

Not with their QB issues. We get to him and this game is up for grabs. Just gotta rattle Beck early.

right here....it was EXACTLY 16.5 pts in the preseason. This line isn't current.


I'm expecting 11 or so.

 

[Dobbs 4 Heisman]

Vols 16-17 point underdog via Vegas early lines.

I pray to God that's the line cause I'll be going in big time on Tennessee moneyline. 16 points is ridiculous. I'll be betting that spread and moneyline big time.

Vols 16-17 point underdog via Vegas early lines.

Only if they play a full game like their second half against Bama. They are giving too much credit to their offense, which is only ok. Not enough credit to our defense.

Like us, Ga has been a slow starting team. If we can get a hot start, our defense can keep us in and win this game.

 

[Kylo]

Gonna be a lot less after Ole Miss lays the pipe on UGA this weekend. Book it.

Ole Miss is soft. Stop it.

 

[PA Vol]

They’re confident in UGA’s awful offense but not our proven defense lol. Whatever. Not saying we won’t lose but that’s absolutely comical

I think it’s more about how bad our offense has been. We are only averaging 23 points per game in conference play. And if we can only score once or none like we have been in the first half against UGA in the road? It’s gonna get ugly.

 

[SonOfGodVolforlife]

Vols 16-17 point underdog via Vegas early lines.

What site are you using man? I can’t find it on draft kings. If that’s the spread we all need to jump on bc I’d imagine it’ll move down to less then 7 by kick off.

What awful offense are you talking about?

 

[VolunteerVandiver]

10 seems about right with the game in Athens. Defense won't give up enough points to lose by 17+

 

[DirtyDawg]

I agree with most of you guys that 17 seems too high. Neither TN or GA has played very consistent this season so it’s hard to predict what we will get. Also, I think it’s possible for a game dominated by the defenses which I think makes it less likely for a 17 point difference. I think 7-10 is more likely.

 

[Carp]

Ole Miss is soft. Stop it.

They throttled UK. Something neither us or UGA could do. I don't think Ole Miss is that or anything. But I also don't think UGA is that great either. Beck is getting exposed.

 

[AllThingsTN]

We do this every year… these are preseason odds. Official updated odds aren’t out yet.

 

[deatojl]

About right imo.

So, just so I understand, you think a team that has only hit the 40 point mark against Tennessee Tech and Mississippi State is going to score enough on a defense that hasn't allowed more than 19 in a game to win by 17 points or more?
