We saw the UVA line already but Draft Kings has posted the lines for five more Vols games this fall.

Vols -27 against Virginia
Vols -7.5 against Florida
Vols -13 against South Carolina
Vols -8.5 against Texas A&M
Vols +9.5 against Bama
Vols +8 against Georgia.

Besides winning, Heupel's teams have largely covered the spread in his two years. Bama line seems inflated considering their QB situation. Thoughts?

Interesting. But still a few unknowns -- for all teams -- between now and first kickoff.

On related note, are any of the football mags out yet?

Edit: Just bought the Athlon ... kinda wish I hadn't wasted 12.99 on that one. šŸ˜•

Yea, I agree. I do like the fact that we have an open date before that game and A&M hosts Alabama.
That bye will be very helpful, plus aTm always plays tough against Bama. Hopefully it’s a 4 quarter grind it out game and they are physically and emotionally spent.

I wouldn’t touch that aTm line. They are a riddle wrapped in an enigma.
Amen to that.

One of two things is going to happen this season for A&M.

1. They are going to have a magical type season. They have the talent to take down anyone at anytime.

2. They will stink it up again and Jimbo will be fired by the 3/4 point of the season.


I really don't have a clue which way the ball is gonna bounce for them.

I used to be so excited when Athlon came out. I haven't bought one in years.

They still have a lot of talent. That’s the main reason I said that that line scares me. The Jimbo/Petrino marriage could be really good, and also could nosedive. It won’t be boring.
Talk about two egos colliding. I will have to see Fisher give up control to believe he is capable of it. That will either be an absolute disaster or a genius hire. No middle ground.

Totally agree with the bama score being high. I just don’t see them being the same old bama this year. I see them having a down year for them

I get the game is in Tuscaloosa but I would not favor Bama by 8.5. To beat Tennessee have to outscore Heupel. Tennessee was the #1 offense in the country last year. Bama has some serious questions at QB. Unless they get a Georgia type defense all of a sudden I don't know they can put up the 35-42 points necessary to beat Tennessee.

The bama qb will be interesting. I don't know anything him. I'm just glad he's not Young.
