Vols +9.5 vs Bama in the Lookahead line for next week

[PEPPERJAX]

I doubt the line stays that high. Missouri is a pretty good football team and the last time I checked it was 3.5. Who knows? Bama is coming off of a physical matchup against Vandy. It wouldn't surprise me if that is a ball game late.

Most people nationally won’t give us a chance next week, I’m hammering that +9.5 .. you can’t tell me that we can’t keep up with them scoring. Even with a loss, we hung 41 on Georgia.

we either leave there having beaten them 3 out of the past 4 seasons or they "put us in our place". big game. need to be arkansas first though and i am not confident

Yea but that game was in neyland

Doesn’t really matter. You look at previous years and we only scored up to 17 points against Georgia at home. BDS is a loud environment, but it’s not going to affect the game in any way.

I think people's perception of Bama will change after this week. Im not a fan of Dorkiwitz, but Mizzou can run the ball and rush the passer. I think they could pull off the upset.

If they do, Bama will be even more focused to bounce back next week. That opening line sounds about right to me.

 

[PEPPERJAX]

My fear is Missouri does pull off the upset.

You could also feel pretty good about UT's chances going on the road to win against bama if the tigers pull off the upset. Missouri is a solid team but they have inferior athletes compared to UT especially on offense. Their defense has been Ok but the competition hasn't been the best in their first five games. We are about to find out just how legit they are.

 

[Oldvoldad]

I hope they do. Screw the Gumps!

So, you want to travel down there for a night game after they just lost to Missouri?

 

[Oldvoldad]

Do you really want to see Dorkwitz and Mizzou 6-0 and ranked in the top ten?

Right!?

 

[NeverWe'llSever]

That line is gonna drop, no doubt.

 

[BruisedOrange]

Vegas teasing out those reluctant Bama bucks. Expect that spread to move lower by Monday.

Exactly. If Mizzou can get after Simpson, then I know Tennessee will. We arent sneaking up on Bama. I would rather mizzou beat up on Bama a little bit.

I’d take Vols at +9.5 without a second thought.

But I like Vols to win so I’d likely take them on the money line.

I don't think we win down there, so yes, I always want the Gumps to lose.

The Georgia game has nothing to do with playing in Tuscaloosa

I can't stand Dorkwitz, but yes I will root for anyone over the Gumps! I hate them the most and it's not even close

This: Dorkwitz is not a long term threat, the Gumps are. 30 years from now nobody will even remember who Dorkwitz was, but Bama will still be a threat.

Of course not, but how do you think Vegas makes these lines?

 

[volglassmaker]

I hope game day don’t show up. We have problems when they do.

+255 at FD

 

[Vol in Buckeye Land]

I'd take Bama and lay the points unless the boys give me a reason to think differently this Saturday.

 

[Illinoisvolfan2]

I’d feel a lot better about this one if it was in Ktown. I was at the 2023 game down there. Pooped the bed in the second half

 

[zeppelin128]

To hell with Bama

 

[swampfoxfan]

Penn state was heavy favorites over UCLA.

Anything can happen on any Saturday, I'll put my money on Tennessee.

Yeah you’re right, Arkansas is an absolute juggernaut.
