Tennessee opens as +8.5 (underdogs) against Alabama

[Capt Straight]

My three rescued golden retrievers flipped coins and consulted. They say told me the score would be Tennessee 38 and Alabama 27. I going with my dogs!

 

[Jeff Clark]

I will take Tennessee and the points

 

[Capt Straight]

They each get a dog biscuit every time Tennessee has a great play or touchdown. We did not have to feed them last night!

Smart "people"!

Vegas is believing their QB is back and will throw ball well . Elite Championship level comes when we shore up secondary.

 

[Capt Straight]

We are going to Tractor Supply to get more dog biscuits for next week's game. We ran out at the end of the game yesterday

I think the key to this game is the Bama defense against our offense.

They did struggle stopping A&M yesterday. We may not stop them, but can they stop us.?

 

[volfan102455]

And no one thought Texas or Texas A&M had a chance either - why can't we believe in our team?

If its Vols -8.5 it's going to swing by 16 points before kickoff.

 

[TAF]

Well...we ALL saw how correct the spread was for aTm...right?

 

[Toothdoc865]

your title makes it sounds like the Vols are the ones favored. Bama is favored by -8.5

It’s Bama giving 8.5. My guess it moves to 5.. Vols and points smart bet now.

You can and you should.

It's just that we older fans have been through a lot of disappointments. Lucy keeps pulling the football away at the last minute.

LOL I have been a Tennessee fan since the 70's! 1970's that is.

Not very impressed with BY this season. He's one of my FF QBs and is about to be dropped. He's overrated, and is a different QB without stud WRs all over the field like last year.

I stated earlier (can't remember when) that Bama's weak spot this year would be their defensive backfield. Watching them, so far I still think this. Their d line being so fast and good rushing pass attempts covers their vulnerability on the backside up. Now, if (a big if) our O line can give Hook a little time,,,,, well it could be a really good 3rd Sat in Oct.

There's no way that Tennessee is favorites. It would be Tennessee +8.5.

Vegas handed me a nice gift with that -2.5 vs LSU. I'll take this one too

 

[NeverWe'llSever]

I think you mean +8.5 lol

 

[bigorangepoppa]

I just swallowed a sip of coffee right before seeing this. Good thing, or else I'd be wiping the screen right now.

 

[Nationdom]

I have a feeling it will be even by Friday

 

[Capt Straight]

I meant to add word underdog lol. Can’t edit title. That’s what happens before first cup of coffee.
