Tennessee Has Opened At +4.5 At Home Against SC

[Titan05]

That line is about right. The post-Bama hangover is a real thing.

From what I saw Saturday, I say give Tim Jordan the rock and let the man work. He was getting it done against Alabama. Throw in some JJ wildcat/Tebow pass and we're good.

This team has turned the corner. As soon as they announce the starting QB, I'm putting money down. Or if its JG I think I'll pass.

I never bet against the Vols, and every time I bet on them I have lost.
But, if I was an outsider and knew JG was going be the starter, I would be taking SC -4.5.

Weird. +14.5 would be more in line with my expectations

Tennessee will beat the Lamecocks 30-27

OH I misread the thread. Tenn opened at +4.5. I would have worded it--SC opens as a 4.5 pt Favorite over UT. Usually the Favorite comes first. Anyways according to Power Ratings, SC should be favored by 3. We shall see. Both teams off a loss and both desperately need a W. Knockdown dragout.

Power Ratings? What you talking about willis? Need something to help me climb up from the bottom of my office pool.

I'd stay away until we knew the QB situation

Yes if we start jg, we won't win, if maurer is able i think we win in a close game. With shrout have no idea, but a better chance than jg.

 

[cgrish]

I'd bet a very conservative game plan. Try to win a low scoring game.

That said, Shrout has an arm. I'd throw some early deep balls to loosen up the D, even if the go incomplete.

Absolutely, because if jg starts sc will stop the run game. Look at what they did to ga running game.

 

[Orange_Vol1321]

Trying to say something with that tweet? Do we wear all orange and allow USC to wear all black? Do we wear the black jerseys? Do we wear the orange jerseys with the black outline?

 

[cgrish]

Not that I approve
but I would put money on it , if BM can't go, JG will start. I just don't see them starting with Shrout, JMO.

I think your opinion is right but I also think it would be a huge mistake, start shrout

 

[cgrish]

JT

jg can't, only chance if maurer can't play is shrout. Also our defense doesn't play as good with jg, too many 3 and outs, and they get worn down.

 

[cgrish]

Tennessee will beat the Lamecocks 30-27

When is the last time jg started and we scored 30 points against a quality team

South Carolina is a mediocre team and Georgia Shyatt the bed against them

SEC Comissioner needs to intercede these refs getting out of hand. Also happening at a fast pace in the NFL. Replay rules need to be expanded imo due to the bad calls leading to teams being cheated. Stranger still is the fact that sports betting is now legal in all 50 states. I wouldn't touch it with a 10' pole until some consistency is demonstrated. Booger McFarland went off on MNF last week, McElroy was very vocal yesterday during USCe and UF game........UT vs. Bama was a disgrace as far as officiating goes. Something just isn't right.

Hiring really good refs full time and paying them well will be key to removing the spectre of point shaving, etc. Of course, it will still need to be policed very closely - perhaps even with periodic financial statement review.

SHOULD be no problem for an organization making the kind of scratch the SEC does.

 

[sport3500]

The home team usually gets 3 points so this is about right as far as the line is concerned.

 

[66volfan]

jg can't, only chance if maurer can't play is shrout. Also our defense doesn't play as good with jg, too many 3 and outs, and they get worn down.

You realize you just agreed with me, right?

Also, South Carolina lost their best running back on the first play of the game yesterday. He did not return, I don't know what he condition is for the upcoming game.

Likely to miss, sprained knee.
