Tennessee-Purdue opening line: Vols favored over Boilermakers

I think the oddsmakers have this one spot on!

Line has moved 6 points since this morning. Bell, O’Connell, and their DE may opt out are the reasons. If all do then It will be a blowout.

 

[SpringBokVol]

Tennessee actually opened as +2.5 dog but the line has moved hard to -2.5 favorite

 

[TheVolsFrog]

Just hope TN doesn't come out flat after all this time off like the defense did after the bye week

 

[Jax_Vol]

Has anyone ever drank 10-12 boilermakers in one night?


Makes ya puke

Could be if Purdues best players opt out. Unfortunate. Good for us though.

 

[VolBricks]

FPI has
Vols @ 22
Boilermakers @ 25

Edit: on paper this should be a close game.

Yah, well, our best RB and our best cover DB opted out, so let both teams just line up and play.

And our best OL guy is out, too?

Be hard to really set a line until we know who is playing…both teams might lose keep players who decide to skip the bowl game and focus on the NFL…

EXACTLY.
Imagine our Volunteers if Hooker decided not to play.

Where is the hokie moron who kept posting that they were favored?

True. And their best WR and DE - both projected to be top draft picks - have declared for the draft and it’s unclear if they will play. I know it’s a team sport and we embrace the “next man up philosophy“ but losing key players will take some shine off the game. I wonder if Cade will play or use the time to get healthy for the NFL combine. Same with Alontae Taylor. Of course Evans already drug up.

Banned like a moron…

No way... Can't be! Go hokies said Purdue was favored

Keep in mind that the goal of the bookmakers is to entice equal betting on both sides. In a situation like this, it could be due to changes on a team. Usually when you see a move of this nature right after the open it signifies that a big majority of the betting was on Tennessee. Either way, I think it bodes well for the Vols.

Pretty much. Odds-makers think Purdue will most likely win, but it's close.

Nah, it is kinda like drinking a 1/2 pint of whiskey and a six-pack of beer. Just makes one sick.

10-12 Irish car bombs...that'll really get ya.

Get exposed in a bowl game is not good fir their draft stock.
