Tennessee a 15.5 Point favorite vs Uf

They didn't build all those buildings in the desert by losing money. If you think 15.5 is too much then bet the cover. I'm sure you know better than all the analysts Vegas has setting the lines for them.

Personally I think the line sounds about right. I think we win by 14-20 points. However, I won't bet early. I'll wait until the game. I expect it to be close early on before we pulled away in the second half. So I'll bet waiting to live bet when the spread comes down to about 7.5 points. That way I don't have to sweat a backdoor cover by Florida if we're up 20 points in the 4th quarter.

Florida is a really bad football team under a lame duck coach. Take the name of the team out and that’s a fair line. Yes we just loss to an inferior team on the road, but Arkansas is better than Florida. We’re at home. We should cruise, but will the name of the team we’re playing get to us once again like it seems to a lot when we play Florida

Those same Vegas people picked TN as a 2 TD favorite over Arky. They also picked Bama as a what like 24 point favorite over Vandy? What were the odds on the Cal/Miami game? How about the UCF/CU game? What about the Missouri/TAMU game?

Yeah Vegas is infallible.

It wasn't a bad Arkansas team. They should be 6-0 right now. They are a good team.

That's crap. Thats the same as saying we should be 5-0. There's no "should be" after the games have been played.

They were an extremely pedestrian 3-2 SEC team with a coach about to be fired that just kept his job because he made us look like fools. They lost to freaking oklahoma state who just got absolutely destroyed by the national football powerhouse west Virginia.

Vegas job isn't to predict who wins. Its to take your money. If you think this line is so off then this should be an easy cover. And if enough people think that way then Vegas would be out of business. But what happens most of the time is the public isn't as smart as Vegas. So when they set a line like this one they're probably hoping suckers like you who are caught up in last week's result take Florida only to see Tennessee get back on track like Ole Miss did this past weekend against South Carolina.

Just last week Vegas made an Ole Miss team coming off a loss at home to Kentucky a 9.5 point favorite at South Carolina. Mind you South Carolina hammered Kentucky on the road earlier this year. I personally thought this line was off. I'm glad I didn't bet it cause Ole Miss covered easily.

Vegas knows what they're doing more times than not. I'm sure they suckered a lot of people into backing South Carolina last week.

Wwwaaaaaaayyyyyy to large of a line, should be -4

OK and AR showed how to stop our offense. FL has Lagway (sp) who is a running QB and you know how we are against running QB's on a FL (or any other for that matter) team.

Because its FL not 100% confident we win the game anyway, especially with our offense in low gear, but seems taking FL with the points is a no brainer. But then you have to wonder is this just a LV trick to get a lot of bets on UF.

That’s a lot of points. Oline has to improve a lot in a week for that to happen imo.

Comment from a Las Vegas Betting forum----What am I missing with Florida +15' at Tennessee? Give me the Gators! It's a one score game .......Tennessee showed they have a coaching problem @ Arkansas, Can't make adjustments, and expecting the opponent to do nothing different with their game plan.

And here I was, worried that we would win at all. Good to know others still have confidence in us.
