With the exception of AL and GA, and given the coaching changes, Id say there are a few good gambles on there. Unfortunately, I believe UT will be lucky to get to any bowl game.
Books are open to bet on regular seasons wins. My prediction as well.
AL-10.5 over
GA-10.5 under
AU-9 push
MSU-8 push
LSU-7.5 over
A&M-7 push
UF-7 over
SC-7 over
MO-6.5 under
KY-6 over (easy money)
OM-6 over
UT-5.5 over
AR-5.5 under
VU-5 under

Amazing how uf has not recruited any better per say than we have yet they are picked to have much better season
The past two seasons, we should have never lost to Vandy, SCAR, Mizzou or Flo(last year). Our talent was and still is better (Flo = push on talent).
I think we win the games we should this year which includes Vandy, Mizzou, SCAR. I think KY takes a small step back this season mainly due to loss of dynamic QB. WV, and Flo will be toss-ups. Other OOC games, we go 3-0 rather easily. So that puts us at 7 to 8 wins not withstanding a major upset like Aub, Geo or AL.
Another thing going for us is that we will be a much more Pruitt seasoned team for the back half of the schedule, so we will grow and play better ball and be the better team from SCAR through Vandy portion of schedule.
Also, we only leave the state 4 times and one of those games is a neutral site at Charlotte (fan edge TN 4>1).
I'm sticking with my 7.5 prediction plus a bowl win.
