Title: Early Lines on the Vols' biggest games this year Post by: japanvol on August 17, 2011, 04:23:46 EDT 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.

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.

Title: Re: Early Lines on the Vols' biggest games this year Post by: japanvol on August 22, 2011, 06:12:30 EDT The line that opened at -20 vs Montana has now moved to -29. That can't be bad.
