| I took Tennessee and the -7.5 - What say you?
I just couldn't let it go any longer...
110.00 wins me 100.00
Or Loses me 110.00...
hehe, WHat say you? Is it as good as a Lock? |

| Seems like it. People say the oddsmakers are usually dead on, but they aren't in early weeks and lefties usually get a few points. Most people are chalking it up as the week 1 lock. | |

| Well, my number one rule is NEVER bet on Tennessee but even I broke the rule and got it at -7. I cant not take that bet the first weekend when everything is still so optimistic!  | |

Since then it's kind of a loose guideline | |

| No such thing as a lock or easy money in college betting. Trust me.

| Excuse the ignorance, so Tennessee @ -7.5 means that they have to win by 8?

| I don't have the testicular fortitude for betting. Plus, my father always said never bet more than you can throw away. And I am not in a position to throw away money. | |
