Tennessee opens as a 5.5 point favorite over NC State

I don’t know if this ever becomes public before game time, but does anyone have a sense of how ticket sales are going? Knoxville is only an hour further from Charlotte than Raleigh is, and of course we tend to travel super well, so I wondered if we might kind of take over BOA Stadium Saturday night. 🍊🏈🧡
 
Was chatting with my NC State friends that are meeting us down there for some tailgating and partying prior to the game. We ordered tickets separately. My wife and I have tickets on the Tennessee side of the stadium. I asked my friends wife where their tickets were and come to find out, she bought tickets in the Tennessee section too. The look on her face was awesome. Told her to get ready for lots of orange and Rocky top over and over again.

According to DraftKings, the Volunteers are an 8-point favorite going into this matchup. The line opened at 5.5 in favor of Tennessee but has since increased. NC State struggled a bit with Western Carolina in week one, so that might have to do with the movement on the line. The over/under is set at 60.5.

ESPN has logged their prediction for the game by using their FPI projection and their model predicts the Volunteers to win by 18.9 points on Saturday. They also give the Volunteers an 88 percent chance to win the foot game. So if you're into metrics, that has to be a promising one based on where the line currently sits for Saturday's football game
 
Vegas is right alot but due to volume they miss a lot too… they are likely wrong in this one ima hammer that 5.5 and I will likely walk it up to 9.5 for better odds on a couple of tickets…

The bottom line is that Vegas’s odds don’t have to be real for them to win. The house always wins and how that happens is anyone’s guess.
 
This much lopsided action on one side - a six point movement……

If it weren’t the Vols, I’d bet my house on the Wolfpack plus ten.

I think we win by thirty points, but decade upon decade of closely watching line movements makes me think this one could be a FG at the end. No logic, just a long, long history of seeing lines fly in one direction and then “funny thing happened on the way to the ticket window”
