Right now, I'm going: UNC -7

I may change my mind several times before the game though.

 

[mason3132]

no way it should be a pickem 1 or 2 max either way.

 

[govols120]

UNC -4.5 sounds about right.

For the over/under, 50 maybe?

 

[mason3132]

lol the over for the yards in National Title game is 864.

 

[Incipient]

Y'all have a lot of respect for UNC. I was thinking more like UNC -2.

I'm tempted to take the over.

I was thinking the same but could see up to 3pts

-2 is about where I'd put it.

Tennessee is the runaway winner here. I give us 6 1/2 on the safe bet.

Agreed. Honestly, if we're favored, it wouldn't shock me at all. They've been inconsistent, we've closed strong.

It does seem that they haven't played a team like us in style all year (poor running, good deep passing, spotty defense), and we certainly haven't played a team like them all year (good defense, zero ground attack, lots of short passing). So it's hard to get a feel for it.

UNC is just tough to handicap. They went toe to toe with LSU and beat FSU, but they also had Duke and Bill & Mary play them within a TD.

And they got DESTROYED by Miami.

I'd take the over in a heartbeat

Oregon is averaging 538 yards/game, and Auburn is averaging 498 yards/game. And I don't think either of these defenses is exceptional.

I imagine both teams will come out a little tight in the first half, so at halftime, people who took the over might be a little nervous. But I think it'll open up in the second half and be an absolute track meet.

 

[mgu7]

anyone know how many of their starters got reinstated after the suspension?

 

[WhatinVolNATION?]

UNC -5 1/2 is where I'd put it. But, we GOTTA pull this out. Wife is a UNC alum. I have been dogged all year since the cancellation. Gotta have this game. Got. To.

 

[Nick04]

Well i live in Vegas and im a betting man.. So i'll say UNC 5 or 5.5.. And i will take the Vols MONEY LINE.!!! gO VOLS

 

[VolStudent247]

Probably open at UNC 5.5 and then get closer and closer as bets come in.

By the computer model UNC is a 2 point favorite. They may give TN a slight home-field edge.

Wouldn't favor either team by more than a field goal.
