Every time someone makes a thread like this it has not turned out well.

Maybe Vegas also doesn't trust this team especially vs physical opponents who've already whipped us once this year? Combine that with how we played vs Mizzou and I think some skepticism is warranted.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Not surprised. A desperate A&M team who already beat us by 16 coming to town after one of our worst performances of the year at Mizzou. I can see why Vegas thinks this will be a nail-biter.

Vegas knows Knecht is out Saturday.

What? Where did you hear that?

Where are you seeing this? Are you sure you aren’t looking at the spread when we played them on the road? ESPN has us at 89% chance to win according to BPI. KenPom suggests Tennessee will be close to a double digit favorite. Torvik has Tennessee as a 12 point favorite.

You're looking at the spread from the first game. Vols are 11 point favorite for Sat. night game

Not surprised, this 100% isn’t close to being accurate info

So we aren’t only -1.5?

 

[Freak]

I haven’t looked up the line but surely we are double digits favorites at home.

I’m pretty sure that was the line for the first game two weeks ago.

 

[feathersax]

CRB & the Vols will smoke aTm this weekend. It's retribution for disrespect. GBO

Good to know. Yeah, that makes sense. But I could see the other possibility as well. I don’t think A&M is as bad as their recent performances suggest.

I don’t know where this is from but 11 sounds about right.

 

[bleedingTNorange]

For starters CBB lines aren’t released until about 24 hours out typically, so no mainstream line is available right now. Second, no, we won’t be 1.5 point favorites…I’ll say very close to that 10.5pt mark.

Where is this being reported? Hope you're not posting things like this as a joke.

Ummm…you need to tell us if this is sarcasm or if it’s true provide a reason and a source.

 

[kyvol98]

I say -12.5 with O/U at 153.5

Purely speculation on my part.

 

[berryvol]

Lmao what is this shat. Delete this thread, we won’t know the spread till this time tomorrow.

 

[Special Ed]

Thanks.
I'll bet the farm on the over.

No joke intended. Just a play on “Vegas knows all.”

 

[cardvolfan]

50% of what I say is true. Hopefully, you can determine for yourself what I’m saying. Vegas knows.

I usually agree with Vegas but I think we’re gonna bounce back and play really well. We’ve only lost like 4 times in the last three years at home, decent chance we win by more than 1. I’d feel confident in taking Tennessee.
