(1) This is not a "Vegas" line. No reputable casino - domestic or offshore - has posted a line for this game.
(2) The USU -2 spread was made by a guy named Jim Howell, whose picture is below:

(3) Howell keeps a good database of historical scores, but no one - literally, no one - respects him as a handicapper.
(4) Moreover, Howell does not hold himself out as a handicapper.
(5) Howell tries to use recent historical performance to determine future scores.
(6) Howell's method leads to some odd results, including having South Carolina ranked 5th in his 2014 pre-season poll. 2014 NCAA Division IA Football Power Ratings
(7) Based on name recognition and home-field advantage alone, Tennessee will be at least a 3.5 point favorite, and likely a 7.5-10 point favorite.

Eh, let's not let facts get in the way of a good lie. Means the Utah guy can't go back to his board and tell the 5 fans on the site that he is 'getting over' on the UT fans.

Come on guys. I know you are UT fans, but take off the Dan'l Boone coon skin caps and put on your logic and reasoning hats and think about the subject of the thread...

Boys in Vegas are saying you won't be prepared.

Difference is that you were wrong, which made your already lame insult even more idiotic.

LOL at your indignation over the coon-skin cap and whether it is a Davy Crockett cap vs. Dan'l Boone cap depending which side of the border you are standing on.. It is popularized by Crockett and Boone.

Get over yourselves, anyway. As far as most of the country is concerned, it's Rednecky and Hillbillysee.

As someone else pointed out, technically, this is not a Las Vegas line.

This is Jim Howell, who apparently does some prognosticating, but is not the same as LV sports books having Aggies by 2.

By the way, based on the teeth, it appears that Jim's wife hails from West Virginia.

English try it some time. Or have one of your daddy's wives explain it to you when he makes it back to the compound.

No. In the English language, we try to use some punctuation AND maintain some level of subject verb agreement.

Hey I heard there was going to be some major addition to the football stadium for the Aggies. Yeah they are hoping to add about 2500 seats to make the stadium capacity around 27-28 thousand. If so where are they going to put all those folks?

Ah, the duplicity in this statement. A few posts back you tried to deflect someone's comment about polygamy. If he had just said "as far as most of the country is concerned..." you would have thought his comment was meritorious?

See e.g. Sister Wives - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
