Vols open as 9pt dogs to Alabama

Likely headed toward 10.

Stupid

 

[Flipdaddy]

That’s about right. It’s up to Tennessee to make Vegas money on this one

Factoring in the Bama wants revenge for last year's game.

Take the vols and the pts

Buck Fama!

After today I'm convinced it's gonna be 12.5 or worse. This team plays really bad on the road, and we don't have a qb or wrs. Might get ugly next week.

Oh that's a draft kings line. Those aren't the actual real Vegas betting lines.

With Milton and this group of receivers our passing game is anemic. They'll load the box and hold us to about half our normal rushing yards. I'm not sure we get more than 10-13 points. Not feeling super confident about playing at Bama.

 

[Volador]

12.5 is a LOT of points for an SEC rivalry. Vega$$ knows something and I bet revenge is a part of it.

We will have to throw for more than 100 yards if we have any chance against the tide.

 

[bobbyutvol]

Not suprised after what the offense did today.... If Milton doesn't get back on track it will be worse than that. Receivers must do a better job getting some seperation. Play calling needs to really change.

 

[BreatheUT]

I'm expecting to win outright. I do worry about the Florida effect though. The good news is we have Cooper Mays. The bad news is no Bru McCoy. It would be nice to have Pili too but it sounds like he is weeks away.

And TN played like exlax on the road at FL

 

[stevenrich2003]

has bama covered a spread this year? maybe the Arky game, but beside that?

 

[sjt18]

Likely headed toward 10.

Lots of money to be made for someone who gets those points before it shifts.

They’re 4-3 against the spread this year.

 

[ATLVols]

This Bama team has not been very good compared to year’s past. But our offense is nowhere close to the one Bama saw last year. Until we can have more balance, I’m nervous about this game.

Beating Saban and his institutional year and after year top or near top recruiting class talent in Tuscaloosa is gonna be challenging. I know Bama has been struggling at times to put the pieces together, but I'm certainly thinking they have to be the favorites on paper at the moment, and I think the line is fair. That said, I think we could very well beat them, but it's gonna take us either playing a really good game, including better in our passing game than we have so far, or they will have to have a bad one while we also have some breaks.

I wouldn't count on the latter. Usually even when Saban has had some early trouble in times past he's ended up putting together really good seasons. Several times people have been ready to say Alabama is slipping only to have them suddenly find a way to win out over the years. They have the home field advantage and should be really motivated after last years loss. All of which is to say, I hope our guys go in with good mindsets and expect to compete and win, but I don't think we can count on the Elephants beating themselves.
