See 2007-2010. Our only close game was the one 2 years ago. What do those games have to do with this game? I have no idea. I guess the oddsmakers see something UT fans don't. I like UT catching 9.5 points.

vegas odds have to do with getting people to bet... and very little to do with who is a better team or who should win..

They set the lines to a point where people on both sides place bets so that they can never lose, nor do they actually cares who wins as they make money either way...

You get six points in college for playing at home. So that means on a neutral site, they got UF (-3.5) which I think is about right.

Actually, on average, the Vegas point spread is close to perfect. (If you average all of the winner and losers scores and compare them to the Vegas average of the Vegas spreads, it is uncannily accurate.) That's because people have to put their money where their mouths are. Basically the market is deciding who it believe will win.

At this point in the season, no one really knows much about UT or UF, I believe people are betting on the the facts that UF is ranked, the game is in the Swamp, and UF has beat UT for years now.
