Why do you think Vegas has Ole Miss Favored?

[GrayWaterCanine]

I think it may be because Ole Miss is a lot better than Tennessee and will win by about three touchdowns.

 

[IluvdoubleD's]

13th best turnover margine in the country.

 

[chrismc1000]

I guess it depends on what board. The last one I looked at had us at #36. My guess is if we beat Ole Miss we break into the top 25.

Maybe we shall see what happens tonight, I'll be at work watching this game and barely doing work

Reasons and how it works, ideas..
Im thinking mostly its a team with 85 scholarship players in their 2nd year with system, vs a team with 71 scholarship players in its 2nd month with new coaches and schemes. What other reasons

Because they like making money. Betting lines are about splitting the amount bet.

 

[Volzag]

Big $ on Tennessee, the line has already moved 2 points. Takes alot of coin for that to happen....

 

[Other_Guy]

Except that UT is almost a mirror of their O and is better on D?

Tell that to the people who think OM is top 25 and UT isnt

 

[mthomp88]

- Tennessee’s lack of a signature win this season
- Matt Corral being a well-known game changer
- Underestimating Tennessee’s defense (honesty I feel like they’ve played better than their stats/rankings show)

I also agree with your depth point a d it being their second year in Kiffin’s system.

Underestimating our defense? They’ve played against 2 good offenses and have given up 39.5 ppg. Ole Miss will be the end offense we’ve faced yet

This. This is how Vegas never really loses. I’ve yet to hit any 5-6 team money line parlay this year with all teams picked being favored by 7 points or more. The line is there for equal bets, not necessarily who is “favored” in the game.

My uncle was a bookie back in the day. Said he would send a taxi for people betting parlays!!! If you gotta gamble, bet on games, not parlays , otherwise know as sucker bets.

 

[Boca Vol]

… which is in the 70’s

But more than 71.

I just think they play better than the stats show. They spend a ton of time on the field due to our offensive scheme.

You mean the same folks who had UNC and Clemson top 10 at the start of the season? Or maybe the ones who thought MU would truck UT?

 

[LWSVOL]

Many of those are walkons, given a scholarship as a reward for their work but they were not scholarship players coming to school.

they have 1, Dayne Davis, who got a scholarship as a walk-on. All the rest were recruited and given scholarships when signed. Amazing how these false rumors are all over the place and believed by people.

 

[rojas1187]

Vegas point spreads have nothing to do with football knowledge. They have everything to do with fan opinions. They try to get equal money on both teams. If lots of people start betting on UT that point spread will come down.

For starters they're ranked #13 in the country. We are not ranked at all in the Top 25. Math is hard, m'kay?

 

[DaddyChad]

that is the line they feel will deliver equal bets on each team.. that is the only interest in lines given by Vegas, how the money will be bet

It’s this. Everything else is irrelevant.

 

[Evol]

It’s down to a pickem now.

But that’s not because Vegas suddenly changed their minds about which team is better. There is just a ton of money coming in on Tennessee.

Very true! I usually won’t bet but 5$ - 10$ and no more than 7 teams. My parlay today I was 5/7 with losers being UF and Iowa. I’ve had success in NFL but not on college this year. The 3 I’ve won in NFL this year has way more than covered what I’ve lost. It’s all in fun!

Because the teams we beat are awful and the teams we lost to are OK. I don’t have high hopes for this game, but I have hopes lol

They are better.

[Exiled]

Because Ole Miss is better than us.

 

[TheDeeble]

Have the shown heupel on the sideline yrt? Everything is ole miss sideline.

 

[OrangeTsar]

I think the injuries are starting to bite us on the OL

 

[majic73]

Earlier in the week it was a 4 point spread....and that's about how tge game worked out. Vegas has tons of scoring models and experts that analyze every details and run computer sims and figure it down to the decimal. The real question is...do you know something vegas does not ?
