Vegas is screwing the Vols.

[S.C. OrangeMan]

The Vols are inky minus 48.5 against Furman.

The Vols are inky minus 48.5 against Furman.

My 49-0 prediction is looking pretty good.

 

[MDsweetT]

Line started at 46.5 and went up to 48.5. Still thinking how I want to approach it. Almost want to take Furman +48.5. It’ll really come down to the 2nd half and how much Tennessee is up by and are the backups for each team in.

I’m thinking it’s better not to predict a high number of passing yards from either QB, as I expect the two to split reps during the game.

The smart thing to NOT do is don't gamble.

There’s a 0% chance of that happening.

Heupel typically does not take his foot off the gas in these cup cake games. 60-70 points is very possible.

 

[CAPTAIN--VOL CAVALRY]

when in doubt, refer to general Neylans 3rd maxim.

That being high numbers or backups getting reps?

It’s OK! Pay attention to this lollipop game and notice the backup coming in when it’s a blowout win.

So what you’re saying is to gamble??

Double negative phrasing is a net positive -Take the UNDER !!

It's kinda their business model.

Thought never even crossed my mind when I picked my tiebreaker.

Vegas is all about making $, period. They intentionally make betting lines to work in their favor. Vegas could care less who wins this game.

For now.

Take Furman.

Vols will win, but backups will play early and drives will stall, IMO. I'm thinking around 35 points.

Vegas wants action on both sides to guarantee winnings from their end. That’s why the lines move up depending on where the is going to I know this is a small thing but it’s couldn’t care less. Either way, maybe best to get Tennessee at a lower number

That’s my halftime score.

 

[HarderKnox59]

Vols will run the most of the time. Furman will see a large dose of tailback from the Big Orange. Tennessee will cover the spread.

I think the spread will come down to defense/special teams. If Tennessee can force multiple turnovers and get great field position from special teams, they certainly have the firepower to score 50-60 points. But if they score that many they have to pitch a shutout defensively to cover the -48.5.

I think this will go about like the UTC opener a couple years ago. Nico looked like a Heisman contender and all the media was fawning over him.
