Vols...

... open as 3.5 point dogs.

It's a coin flip, imo.  Which is alot better odds than anyone expected about 4-5 weeks ago.

If the home team gets 3 then that means 6.5....Right

IIRC it opened at OM and 4.

Vols were also a 3.5 point dog to Mizzou.

I agree IF everyone is healthy. We especially need Small and Evans both healthy and ready to share the load. It became evident late in the 2nd quarter that Evans was wearing down and there's a huge drop off in talent after those two.

The one who's D shows up most will win. I hope ours does. They have more talent at the skill positions. Especially QB and WR. Which is what this game will come down too unless the D's show up big. Wouldn't it be funny if this was a 10-7 game after expecting a 63-56 score.

I think the over is a sucker's bet. We are the home team with better defensive numbers and getting a couple of key defensive players in the secondary back. If the crowd does their job... The winning number is going to be in the 30's.

Why are their WR better? Who said? We have a half dozen WR. Good game to prove we do!
