Vols early betting lines from DK

I would bring Bama down to maybe +6
Ga seems about right to me. It's a home game and we're catching them early in the season so we could win that one.
FL seems about right also but I think we go in their house and take it

Agree we should be underdogs to all 3 of them. Having UGA at home should keep the game close but GA has proven they can win in Neyland in the Heuple era. Have not won in TTown or the Swamp in yrs so the underdog role will be there until the losing streaks can be broken.

If I was a betting man, I would bite early on the Bama spread. We either look good early in the season and it comes down a lot, or we suck and it goes way higher in their favor. Either way it could be a good play. There are a lot of unknowns for both teams this season which will influence the spread a lot.

The rest look about accurate. I would shy away from Syracuse because I think that game is going to be much closer than most people are thinking.

Yeah I'm not warm and cozy about the Syracuse game either.

Bama has 2 home losses in the last 5 years. 2019 #1 LSU and 2023 # 6 Texas. Getting a W in D-BS is darn hard. 12.5 looks high but I need to see the both on the field first before I would put money down.

But I advise you NOT to bet on the Vols. I became a super critical and was an absolutely horrible fan.

Someone explain to me about betting lines + and - . If UT is -13 vs Syracuse, then is Syracuse +13 vs UT? What is the difference in +/- ?

- means Vegas thinks that team is going to win by that amount. + is the opposite.

So with us being -13, that means Vegas thinks we will win by at least 13. You bet against Vegas, so you either bet we are going to win by more than 13, or we win by less or potentially lose. Taking the over means if we win by 14 or more, then you win the bet. If we only win by 12 or less, then you lose. If Tennessee wins by exactly 13, then you push, meaning you get the money back and neither side wins.

Basically: the winning team has to both win, and win by a specific amount in order for you to win the bet. You can also take the + and say that Syracuse is going to lose, but they will keep it within the + amount. So if you take Syracuse +13, than you are betting that Syracuse is going to lose but keep it within 13.

Yes if UT is -13, then Syracuse is +13. In this case it means UT is favored to win by 13 points.

I know that part. I guess I wasn't clear. Why do they publish one or the other? Why not just give the favorite and go with the - ? It it somewhat advantageous (to the betting site) to say UT -13 and GA +4? Must I say I want UT and give the 13 versus I'll take Syr and take the 13?

Let's see where the lines move AFTER Syracuse.

Heupel could make that a statement game for this year because Syracuse isn't trash.

If we come out rolling with our questions of QB play, O Line play, and WR play answered, those SEC lines will tighten up fast.

If we're heavily (beyond first game jitters) mistake prone on offense against Syracuse, those SEC lines may get worse.

There's too many unknowns about this offense to call those lines good or bad IMO.

I don't bet, but if I did, I would take bama, Florida and Georgia to cover. I don't expect to win any of those games, but I do hope I'm wrong.

Putting those spreads in perspective is kind of wild. I feel like we're going to hammer Syracuse and they basically have Bama beating us by more although it's at their place whereas Syracuse is on neutral turf. But, damn, that's kind of humbling that's what the spread is.

Kind of worried about that -13 against Syracuse...call me what you will, but I'm saying we don't win by 2 touchdowns.

Agree with most everyone else - the Bama and UGA lines should be flipped.
