Tennessee @ S. Carolina Early Lines

[VolinArizona]

Tennessee opened as a favorite. Here are the opens at different sites:


Pinnacle: -3.5
BetCRIS: -5

Both have already moved to:

Pinnacle: -4.5
BetCRIS: -6

I love all 4 numbers as a sports bettor. The public sees a 16-13 win at home over Alabama, but doesn't see that Alabama's defense wasn't nearly as good as a 16 point showing looks.

I have to say, with those lines I would take Tennessee everyday of the week.

That seems like some pretty quick movement.

It is. It was fast. I signed onto BetCRIS, saw -5, clicked the box, typed in my PW and it had moved.

If people like using line moves and what not to kind of guage how good Tennessee is, let me say this: early line moves are *typically* sharps waiting to bet. Then again, I was waiting and I'm not a sharp. The average betting public wouldn't be waiting for lines to come up. Only serious degenerates do that.

Anyway, I expect the line to grow to -7 or -8 by Monday/Tuesday, then people will pound S. Carolina back to -5.5 or so.

Should be 6 at game time.

Not to mention rivlaries are always closer.

I will say I would take the 6 points.

I pounded it at -6, so me too.

If our defense decides to come out like they did against Bama, I think we should win pretty good. But that is a big if. I don't like the coach on the other side.

Hopefully it is at least 10 points.

For some reason this is usually a close game, but we usually play better on the road.
