Saw a couple of Vegas early lines yesterday, but strangely, no line on the Eat Mo Chikin bowl. Line had Vols catching five at home vs. Gayturds. Figuring three for home field, that makes it a field goal game, right? Vols were catching 13.5 at Jawja. I think that one goes down before the game is played. |

Tennesse is - 6.5 PS: just bet the total on UT's early games when you can get one. Bet over in all 12 games and you will cover sugar easily. Edited by Zippy, Jun 12 2012, 09:10 AM.

According to this random site, the Vols schedule and results look like this: WEEK 1 - Tennessee -6.5 vs. North Carolina State* WEEK 2 - Georgia State at Tennessee -41 WEEK 3 - Florida at Tennessee pk WEEK 4 - Akron at Tennessee -38.5 WEEK 5 - Tennessee at Georgia -12 WEEK 6 - Bye WEEK 7 - Tennessee at Mississippi State -3.5 WEEK 8 - Alabama -12.5 at Tennessee WEEK 9 - Tennessee at South Carolina -13 WEEK 10 - Troy at Tennessee -28 WEEK 11 - Missouri at Tennessee -6 WEEK 12 - Tennessee -1 at Vanderbilt WEEK 13 - Kentucky at Tennessee -20 So, that's 8-4 or 7-5 ... not unreasonable given our recent history, and these are the final SEC standings: EAST Georgia 7-1 South Carolina 6-2 Florida 5-3 Tennessee 4-4 Missouri 2-6 Vanderbilt 2-6 Kentucky 0-8 WEST LSU 8-0 Alabama 7-1 Mississippi State 5-3 Auburn 4-4 Arkansas 4-4 Texas A&M 2-6 Ole Miss 0-8 |

IMO South Carolina line is too high. I like UT's chances to win that one straight up if Vols go into game at full strength. Not surprised about Miss. St. line, that game is going to be tough to win down there. Game Chickens won in Knoxville last year 14-3 with the Vols playing defensive ends and walkons at DT and with Worley at QB and no running game. Jay Graham is gonna want this game pretty badly. Is really going to be interesting to observe attempted running game early. Pittman is one of the real keys on the staff right now. I believe he stepped into a really nice situation at UT. He has guys that have experience, got their tails kicked some but have now matured physically and look impressive, at least on paper.

Yeah, it is funny that they have the USC Jr. game with a wider margin than both the Alabama and Georgia games .... that may be a typo. I'm also surprised that they would have Florida as a toss-up ... I think we can win it, but I would imagine that Florida would be favored by a handful of points. I think our toughest games (in order) are Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Miss State, and then South Carolina. Edited by OrangeRev, Jun 12 2012, 09:48 AM.

That's about right, I think....which is unfortunately probably bad news for Dooley. Not to say I think he gets fired for going 7-5 (he certainly will not), but the writing will be on the wall. This team has talent, very likely more combined talent than we have ever had @ QB & WR (and that's saying something, we've had some good ones there)...and a good chunk of that talent is likely to leave early. Meaning next year, we will not have anywhere near as much talent as we have this year. Dooley needs to win 9 games and build a little bit of equity heading into what's going to likely be a bit of a rebuilding year on offense in 2013. If he goes 7-5 this year, then follows it up with another 6-6 type season...he's gone. Not that I'm advocating this or think it's fair, it's just what I think will happen. |

I really want Dooley to succeed, but if he goes 7-5 this season and 6-6 next season, he should be gone. I know there will be some juniors leave early, but UT needs to do better no matter who the coach is. |
