we were favored by 3 over UVA and under OSU by 4; that's only a 7 point differential between a considerably over-seded UVA and the #1 team in the nation. The oddsmakers either see the Vols walkin' on water (yeah, right!) or the Buckeyes as ripe for a fall after the Xavier scare. Either way, we're close enough to contender status in this game to justify putting our pride behind our money, aren't we?

All the more reason why betting on college basketball is nuts.

Ohio State has exactly three wins against top 25 teams (Tennessee (we were ranked then) and Wisconsin twice). OSU's only other non-conference win over an NCAA tourney team came against Eastern Kentucky. And, they are the only Big Ten team to survive the first weekend.

31-3 is awesome, but IMO they have usually failed to impress when they have faced another strong team. I hope they again fail to impress this week. I think we can agree that this is a challenging but winnable game for the Vols.

alright, I'm tryin' to get at the grit here..let's up the ante a bit. It's not really intended to be a test of your Vol loyalty but rather..WHO WILL WIN?

For the sake of the thread, there is a minimum $1000.00 bet at this table. :hi:

there is one thing i have learned about betting on college basketball, don't mess with the oddsmakers. if the line is 4, it is 4 for a reason, mainly to entice people to take OSU, the fact that it is 4 only cements my thinking that Tennessee will win this game. I mean come on, the average bettor is jumping all over OSU at -4 right now, Vegas is about to make a lot of money.

So to answer the question, if I had 1000 behind me to put on a game right now, and I didn't have an issue with betting on my team, I would take the Vols in a heartbeat.

as stated before the line on the UVA game was us by 3, thats exactly what we won by. That being said I hope they are wrong about the -4 line on Thursday and we make that up, oddsmakers know what they are doing
