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

I admittedly don't know much about betting, but I thought it was entirely dictated by the money coming in because Vegas wants even money on each side. Cause they make money on each bet placed, they want to essentially break even on the Vols money vs Bama money. As such, Vegas isn't really "liking" anything. The line's not moving because equal money is being bet on both sides now. Am I wrong?

Heupel, Anderson, Hooker headline AP's SEC midseason awards

Heupel, Anderson, Hooker headline AP’s SEC midseason awards


Will Anderson is one of the nation’s top pass rushers. Hendon Hooker has been among the hottest passers.
The Alabama linebacker and Tennessee quarterback headline the midseason Southeastern Conference awards released Wednesday by The Associated Press. Anderson is the top defensive player so far and Hooker grrabbed the offensive honors as the two players head into Saturday’s showdown between No. 3 Alabama and No. 6 Tennessee at Neyland Stadium.
The Volunteers’ Josh Heupel was a unanimous pick as coach of the first half of the season in voting by AP reporters who cover the SEC.

COACH OF THE FIRST HALF
Heupel has Tennessee ranked in the top 10 for the fourth straight week and at 5-0 for the first time since 2016. Led by Hooker and the nation’s top offense, Heupel already has four wins over Top 25 teams in his first season and a half. That’s the most for a Volunteers coach through his first 18 games since Phillip Fulmer also beat four Top 25 teams three decades ago.


OFFENSIVE PLAYER
Hooker has been the SEC’s most efficient QB, passing for 1,432 yards and 10 touchdowns without an interception through five games. He became the first SEC quarterback to post 300 passing yards and 100 rushing yards in a game since 2018 (vs. Florida). He’s eighth nationally and second in the SEC in total offense, averaging 332.6 yards a game.

Also receiving votes: Will Rogers, QB Mississippi State; Brock Bowers, TE, Georgia.

DEFENSIVE PLAYER
Anderson led the nation in sacks and tackles for loss last season. He’s off to an even faster start this season, with 29 tackles, 10 tackles for loss and five sacks, plus a pick-6. Anderson had 11 tackles for loss and three sacks through six games last season, and didn’t have a sack at this point as a freshman. He pressured Texas A&M quarterback Haynes King eight times last week.


FIRST-YEAR FRESHMAN
Ole Miss RB Quinshon Judkins, who has emerged as probably the biggest star in a talented backfield despite not starting. He has run for 581 yards and eight touchdowns, more TDs than any other FBS freshman runner.
Also receiving votes: Malaki Starks, DB, Georgia; Nick Emmanwori, DB, South Carolina.


FIRST-YEAR TRANSFER
Jaxson Dart, QB, Mississippi. Dart started the season rotating with Luke Altmyer after transferring from USC. It’s unquestionably his job now, even before his 448-yard, three-touchdown explosion against Vanderbilt. Dart has passed for 1,358 yards and eight touchdowns while also being intercepted five times. He has run for 256 yards.

Also receiving votes: Jahmyr Gibbs, RB, Alabama; Jayden Daniels, QB, LSU.

MOST SURPRISING PLAYER
Arkansas RB Raheim Sanders, who is the SEC’s leading rusher and top workhorse. He has run for 695 yards and five touchdowns on 125 carries. Sanders also has 185 receiving yards. He had a strong freshman season, too, but has already topped his 578 yards from 2021.

Also receiving votes: Hooker; Anthony Richardson, QB, Florida; Tayvion Robinson, WR, Kentucky.


MOST DISAPPOINTING TEAM
Texas A&M is now unranked after opening the season at No. 6. The Aggies are 3-3 with losses to Appalachian State, Mississippi State and Alabama. The offense especially has been inconsistent and quarterback Max Johnson missed the Alabama game with an injury to his throwing hand.
Also receiving votes: Kentucky.


HOTTEST SEAT
Auburn coach Bryan Harsin has never climbed out of the late-season slump or shed the lingering cloud from the school investigation into his program that followed. Auburn has blown a 17-point lead to LSU and been routed by Georgia. The big question: Will he make it to the end of the season?
Also receiving votes: Clark Lea, Vanderbilt.
