Line up to -9.5 for Bama

#101

In the 2nd half of the 3 games bama has played this year..(not counting Vandy and the other 2 stat padding cupcakes they have played) bama has outscored their opponents 37-34 with 21 of those points coming against Arkansas in the 4th quarter of 28-23 game. In the 3rd quarter of those games bama was outscored 22-7.

If UT does not make careless mistakes or turnovers in the first half and not dig themselves into a hole I definitely like our chances of taking over the second half and Hendon Hooker leading and Orchestrating the Pride of the Southland as RockyTop is heard throughout the entire country.

In the 3 games UT has played subtracting similar cupcakes, UT has outscored the opposition 28-7 in the 3rd quarter.

You apparently don't understand how a betting line works. A betting line is set so that an equal amount is bet on each team. If one team has more bets, the bookies will change the line to make it more favorable to the other team in order to equalize the bets.

I'm just really hoping we can make it a game. They gonna be on fire but so should we. Really not looking for the W on this one way to much poisoning out there. GBO

I agree with you. If I’m being honest, I think we put up a good fight and lose if Bryce plays. If he doesn’t, coin-flip. The narrative and being the media darling plays right into Saban’s hands.

It was my understanding the line moves to even out the bets so the Casinos break even on the bets and collect their fee. They are paying off the winners with the losers.

I do expect Alabama’s best game. I also expect them going for it on 4th down in the 1st half. It won’t help. We will get our points and they will not.

Correct. The money was coming in on Tennessee.

The concern is, Alabama is absolutely going to pound us with a run game in the second half. I hope our defense has learned to bring the safety up. If not, they will leave scorch marks in the middle of the field. That's the concern. I have faith.

Alabama hasn’t pounded any team in the second half outside of Vandy and two cupcakes.

Well, IDK, but I think the heat miser has made a decision of pride to go with young, and that works in UT's favor.

I am looking for a 5 to 10 point win by Tennessee with Tennessee scoring somewhere in the Mid 30s

I think The General likes his new Haircut and Renovation of his house. The Ghosts of UT past are going to haunt the Alabama Sidelines

Well, Bryce is likely going to play and our guy who had 200 yards receiving against Bama last year is likely out.

Our receivers have stepped up the past two games, but if the bounces don't go our way like they did against LSU, a defense like Bama's could stall us quite a bit.

The pressure is on Alabama not us. With a -9 pt line that is taking into consideration a 3 point so on a neutral field the line would be a -10.5?

Not sure if this is supposed to be a joke or not, but it’s the complete opposite of how the industry works. If all the money is coming in on one side, they’re not going to give you more points if they think it’s a winner.

I feel like you should be discussing this with volstrom. He’s very clearly being made fun of. And since you don’t get that, we should make fun of you, too.
