Probably a dumb question, but does Vegas move the line based on the betting?

Yea they try to balance the money coming on both sides. Too much action on Tennessee = lower the line to get more money bet on Bama to cover

Yes. Early monet coming in on TN at 10.5 moved it down 3 points. Now it's not really moving so Vegas likes their chances of TN not covering the 7.5

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Why would the line be moving away from the money? Is the open line a typo? If not, it seems like BetMGM is begging you to take Tennessee.

Thr first line I saw was 10.5. It got bet down quick on Sunday, Vegas is fine take in money at 7.5 because they don't think TN covers.

Yes and no. Sure Vegas wants a 50/50 split but that's almost impossible, Vegas actually does pick a side and hopes it works out for them.

As in we (the university) may have actually grown a pair and isn’t using blanket policy implementation and is instead looking at individual incidents individually and determining the right course of action.

I think JM plays.

I think it's a matter of not wanting to unduly deprive a good kid, a hard worker and a SR team captain of playing his last home game against Bama, in a sold-out, rocking Orange-Out Neyland, based on a police report that tells an incomplete and seemingly not entirely factual story. This is not going to end up a felony charge. And this game matters a great deal to this program and these players.

UT wants to send the right message to the team and the recruits. And then you have the SEC. It's complicated, and the timing makes it more so.

I would lose it if we ran the same play, but from shotgun, and hit Hyatt over the middle for a score on the 1st play.

So you think he’s gonna play?

Always----they have to protect and minimize their potential losses

The bad part about this, and I truly hope he plays, and is innocent until proven guilty, is the Bama Homers calling this game for CBS will be sure to remind everyone watching time and time again that he was arrested on felony assault!

Wow. Sounds like the leadership culture from top to bottom really has changed. That's amazing.

I absolutely hope this offense goes completely off the rails and puts this dudes career in the dark…such a ******** statement

Roddy Jones calls Tennessee’s offense a pretender against Alabama

Schools generally suspend pending investigation/resolution for aggravated assault, and conferences look favorably upon that. I think it will take moxie to play him this weekend without some movement in the case. Push for the latter before deciding the former.

He’s a GT guy. He wouldn’t know a good offense if it smacked him between the eyes.
