That's not necessarily true especially if we beat UGA

Last 4 SEC East champs have gone 7-1 in conference.

Contrary to what many believe losing more than 1 conference game pretty much dooms you. You would be rooting for Florida or Georgia to lose 2 games. And recent history suggests thats unlikely.

Remember as horrible as Florida was last year, they still went 7-1 in conference. Same with the 2013 and 2014 Missouri teams as well as the 2012 Georgia team.

It's 11-1 if we want to get to Atlanta whether you like it or not.

12.5? I'd put my money on the Gators. Vols should win, but this game will be close

Nah. It won't be.

We should have won by 13 last year on the road against a better Florida team.

This year they'll be worse. We'll be better. Its at home.

I'll be shocked if we don't cover the spread.

Based off how well we played against them last year that sounds reasonable.

Have you watched this game over the years? Remember the last home game against Florida ? Everyone was pretty confident then too against a weaker Florida team.

A couple of possible factors that will keep this game closer than it should be: What if UT's running game struggles? What if Butch coaches scared/too conservative again allowing Florida to stay in the game?

If UT wins, it will be 27 - 17 type of game. And I'm ok with that. Just win the damn game.

Yup! Rookies and stupid people leave their money in Clark County/Vegas all the time. As a voting taxpayer there since 2009 after LA for 17 years, I appreciate that sort of silliness. Pros and people who know what they're doing do not put their money on the line until game day for a reason.

I'm detached from the irrational fandom of some here. I only exude confidence when I know my team is great.

Last Tennessee/Florida game I watched before last year was 2005.

Why?

Because thats the last time I expected to win.

2014 was a matchup of 2 bad teams. Florida was just a lil less bad.

I hope we cover. Actually I hope we beat them by 50 but extra motivation for gators being double digit underdogs to a team they have not lost to in 11 seasons. I would be happy to have it a pickem game or 1-3 point favorite. If it is double digits ESPN and Sec network will piss them off and they will play over their heads.

Florida will be 3-0 coming off big win when they come to Knoxville. No need to lay 12- now. Line should be around 6-7 game week.

Frankly, I think they'll see why Del Rio has bounced around when he plays in Knoxville. Their spring game was designed to make him look good but defenses will take away the short quick passes that he can throw and his arm strength won't beat people down field.
