Vols open as 9.5 favorites over A&M

[K-town Vol Fan]

Thoughts? Seems about right, I'm guessing will come down close to 7, depending on how they look against Bama.

The early betting line for No. 22 Tennessee vs. Texas A&M

Tennessee football will once again be a home favorite against Texas A&M on October 14 at Neyland Stadium in Knoxville.

I’m pleasantly surprised by that. They look like the most balanced team we’ll face the rest of the way. Maybe they came out of Arkansas with some injuries or they’re factoring in the game against Bama before they face us.

Home field and coming off a bye are worth several points. I do think they have a more talented roster top to bottom.

 

[VolPack22]

Seems high to me. I was expecting something closer to -6.5 and would not have been shocked to see it come in at -2.5. Even with the QB injury they are a talented team.

Looking at their schedule, it looks like we will be their first real road test, which could end up being a huge advantage. They lost to Miami at Hard Rock stadium which I believe technically is neutral site, they played Auburn and Bama at home, and beat Arky in Jerry World.

Should be about 3.5. They are the best team we will have played up to this point

That's not saying much. They are not in UGA or Bama's tier. It's a game we should expect to win.

I thought Miami had been playing home games at Hard Rock for at least 15 years now? It’s just they never have the fan support to put people in the stands so it’s not a home field advantage.

Most good betters will wait and see how the AL game turns out. I think they are very capable of beating Bama at home.

They will give Bama all they want. They are very good

Wouldn’t surprise me that it ends up -13.5 by game time.

Where are you seeing this at? Can you provide a link.

Our crowd needs to really show out for this one. It’s absurd that aTm has been in the League this long and they have never played a non-Covid game in Neyland .

It is pathetic that the only sellouts in Miami are vs Fsu.

 

[JohnWardForever]

If that line is correct ; and really anything over 5 the sharps will be all over A&M. If the line is right, that tells us that bama is a stone cold this week. Catching A&M off a home loss is not what you want.

Too high...I'd probably agree w/ the line if we were playing at night.

You're right I got it confused with a different stadium

 

[SayUWantAreVOLution]

We're at 7 over aTm (we're home)
Bama is at 2.5 over aTm (aTm is home)
Bama is at 9.5 over us (Bama is home)

They're certainly respectful of Neyland out there in the desert.

 

[cherokeeeVOL]

If Bru hadn't gone down I would feel better about this game. And if Joe would run a little more I think it will help bring something else that teams have to focus on. Not saying we lose outright, but I definitely don't see this as a two score win.

My son did undergraduate at the U. Stadium is 40 minute bus ride from campus. They have 12k undergraduates and about 1/3 from outside the US. The city has pro teams in every league. Not a great mix for butts in seats.

They are talking about a smaller stadium near campus.

And that is just 1 reason that they have no business joining the SEC whenever that gets kicked up again . And that could be next week.

If you like A&M, then you may take the points now as a close game (or win) vs Bama will lower the spread.
