I think we were double digit dogs 6 times last year so I guess this is an improvement. Btw we are a 20 point favorite against Montana.

@ Florida +7.5
vs UGA +3
vs LSU +8.5
@ Bama +16.5
vs USCe +6
@ Ark +10.5

The Arkansas line seems high to me. With Davis out for them and the strength of UT shaping up to be the secondary I would think this game is decided by a TD or less.

Hope you're right about Arkie.  One of the bigger "what if" games on our schedule IMO.

I think Arky is a bad matchup but I think we cover that line with Davis out.

I'm a homer but the only games where I wouldn't take UT and the points from those lines are UGa and USCe. I suspect we will win UGa outright but +3 is tough to take. I also think we have a shot at USCe but it's very conceivable that they could beat us by a TD. I would take UT to cover the others as a pretty safe bet.

By the time the UGA game rolls around we will be favored in that game.

The line that opened at -20 vs Montana has now moved to -29. That can't be bad.

That means the early money is going on UT in a big way.
