WVU Open As 7.5 Point Favorite

[golf437]

We play better as underdogs

No we do not.

 

[k-town_king]

Not surprised. We will win by 17+ though.

We have no idea. Vols will have the better roster. Wish we had Kelly. He would run wild on Big 12 defense. My feeling is if we get good play from JG or whomever starts we win by double digits. If not, probably a slug fest.

That's what I've been saying all along.

We only need better than last year's QB play. Only a few know what offense we will be running Sept. 1st. I bet WV run the same stuff assay year. CHP knows he can't lose that one. We could see some early magic from our defense. We really don't know how it will look either.

I can honestly say I expect both to be better than last year. That is not being rediculous.

That alone is worth 4 wins from better opponents.

We have 3 kinds of opponents.

Fair:
UTEP
ETSU
UNC Charlotte
WV

Good:
SC
UK
MO
Vandy
Fl

Tough:
Chumps
Gumps
Auburn

Go Vols!

Betting lines this early are almost 100% about "perception". Tennessee is perceived as bad and WVU as decent. They aren't factoring in anything else.

 

[jeff1vol]

Waaay too low. WVU will score at will on us.

According to this...

College Football: Tennessee — West Virginia opening line released - Rocky Top Talk

What say you, VN? About right with Grier at the helm and us breaking in a new 3-4 D?

Don’t wanna sound like D4H but I’m gonna make a bold prediction and say we come out and win this one handily. If I’m wrong y’all can roast me.

 

[utvolpj]

No we do not.

We absolutely do. This is a VN Maxim from years ago

The second “A” is Aight!

What are the first 6 letters? Seriously.

I bet CJP does not agree with WVU by 7.5

This is the PG13 version.

I love sports betting, but betting on a game this early is just insane.

Exactly. If you're serious about your money you don't plunk it down until the absolute last moment. You never can tell when you're All American QB or MLB trips getting off the team bus arriving at the game and is out for the season.

Aight! I like it! Thanks...

That’s the problem. Years ago there was some truth to that. Recently? Not so much.

Doubt we keep them under 40. Gonna be a road game I skip, because we are gonna lose bad in MoTown.

I'm confused?

He/she could start over with a new account being one post deep with that fail.

Let's see how recruiting and the spring go but 7.5 seems a bit high. If CJP is who we think he is and we get most of the injured guys back healthy in time for spring at latest fall camp I'm liking the Vols and the points...shades of 1989 UCLA opener.

Pretty similar except for in 1989 we had a National and SEC Championship winning coach, proven coordinators and continuity, and this season we have a brand new head coach and two first time coordinators and no continuity.

But it’s an opener away from home so sure, I’ll go with that.

Reality check, motown is slang for Charlotte.
