I just couldn't let it go any longer...

110.00 wins me 100.00
Or Loses me 110.00...

hehe, WHat say you? Is it as good as a Lock?

Seems like it. People say the oddsmakers are usually dead on, but they aren't in early weeks and lefties usually get a few points. Most people are chalking it up as the week 1 lock.

Well, my number one rule is NEVER bet on Tennessee but even I broke the rule and got it at -7. I cant not take that bet the first weekend when everything is still so optimistic! :good!:

used to be my rule too but I paid for a year at UT with the 95 bama game winnings. Since then it's kind of a loose guideline

sure seems like easy money.

cal seems like easy money only plus 4.5 too.

bad mojo when things seem like easy money.

I just wish I wasn't scared to bet more. Wish I could lay about 1k on it.

Cal is -5 now.

I don't have the testicular fortitude for betting. Plus, my father always said never bet more than you can throw away. And I am not in a position to throw away money.

4.5? who are all these people betting on UCLA? I know vegas is close to LA so the LA teams tend to get some extra points, but this is insane.

Some gamblers may be looking at last year's loss to an eventual 7-6 Cal on the road as a possible indication of this year's match up. That may be all they personally saw of Tennessee. But I think California was better than their record indicated, and even then was superior on paper to this UCLA team. This UCLA team would be extremely lucky to end up with 7 wins.

at least the fact it went 3pts in UT's direction tells you people are getting a little smarter

Maybe they think we are slow starters, like last year, and the trip to UCLA to face the trio of coaches the world loves so much will be too much for this team. A friend of mine in Long Beach said they think Chow will out scheme us. Keep the ball away from UT and hope for a low scoring win.

It's going to be awfully tough keeping the ball away from us, when their offensive line is so depleted. Even UCLA's sports writers have been talking about how dreadful they've been this fall camp. If our front 7 are half decent, we should be in the backfield all day long.

LA Tech at home getting 8.5 vs. Miss St.
Fresno State getting 5.5 vs. Rutgers

Pretty good 3 team parlay (w/ UT)

I like the under more than the total.

UT historically fares well on the UNDER when favored...

just a trend to think about if you really want to wager on this game. I never ever bet on Tennessee games.

even when it looks like a definite UT blow out, you never know when Fulmer is going to sit on a 3-7 pt. lead.

I would definitely stop short of calling this game a "lock"...

all that said, if you ask me if I think we will cover the 7.5, yes, I do.
