Scoresandodds and VegasInsider both show 88% of the money going to Alabama.

Just as notable - 98% of the money is going to Alabama moneyline but that is only -148. Should be higher.

And on there it is -3.
Most pundits have said they feel uneasy with a pick of either, but they are largely betting on Milroe playing better than Nico.

The point is the line opened at -2. Close to 90% of the money is on Alabama and the line only moved a point.

If Vegas was worried about losing their ass, the line would continue to adjust until it was closer to a 50/50 split.

They didn’t build those hotels in the desert by giving money away.

Didn't we also hear on this board that the moon is made of green cheese?

Preposterous! No one has ever seen a hollow slab of green cheese.

Excellent breakdown of our offensive woes.

Funny you ask this. At an event in my town in Shelby County a few weeks ago, I ran into someone who has a family member of our Smokey. I think they share a grandparent. He said the current Smokey does struggle in the environment, and the school was giving him one more year to try to adjust. I believe he said they had invited him up with his blue tick to see how he would handle gameday. I enjoyed getting to see a pup so closely related to Smokey.

Movement to give Smokey some doggy noise cancelling headphones

Marquez Callaway signed to the Bucs practice squad.

Hope he sticks.

Would LOVE for Miles Kitselman to catch a touchdown on Saturday. Right on their dumb heads.

You know he'll be giving it everything he's got and more on Saturday...

If you where gonna go do the fans' activities before the game, where would go? Tailgates, Pawl, Vol Walk, watch party? What else?

I mean….didnt we hear on this board that Heard COULD play, but didn’t.

Just bc you can, doesn’t mean you should.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Here's the thing. . . what of Nico hits on 3 or 4 of those deep balls he missed by a yard the last game? We score our regular 14pts + 3 or 4 of those big plays and we could put up 34-38pts. If we put up 38, it's gonna be real tough to beat us.

 

[DD4ME]

Fuhrman and crew just said Nico is 10-28 on throws of 10+ the last 3 games

This cowboy is due for an 8 second ride.

@TN-POSSUM did we ever figure out if that skull found in someone’s backyard was a relative of yours? RIP

Yes!

Some more pretty awesome jets for the flyover - two T-38 Talons. You think they're loud?

 

[Deathandtaxes]

The thing that gives me hope is how poorly they played against USF and the fact they played against them… we will be very well prepared for exactly what they will do. I think we win this game.

 

[rikberry31]

I think if we drop several more games, which is a good possibility at this point, this staff will need to step it up.

In the words of Rocky Balboa, We ain’t going down no more. WGWTFA.

Sorry if already discussed---

Anyone with insider knowledge of what the heck is going on with Heard, please let us know... And it's not re-aggravating a high ankle sprain... I'm not buying that anymore... The kid was sprinting through the line knocking people over to make way for Sampson and was high-stepping in the endzone after the score... you don't do that with an injury/ankle sprain.

We were going to be lucky this weekend to pull one out if we were at full strength. We've got Pili out, WR's banged up, and now Heard. Geez.

A high ankle sprain would affect lateral movement mostly. Hence he run blocks pretty well but struggles in pass pro. Not rocket surgery.

So if we win Vegas wins big?

Wish I had the data with me but it feels like that’s always the kiss of death when we’re on the opposite end.
