All the bettors are spending their money on Tennessee

[OldDevilDawg]

If the Vegas spread is set to have equal money bet on both sides. How's this gonna work out for them?

Bettors are absolutely hammering No. 1 Tennessee as favorites against No. 3 Georgia this week in college football's biggest game

Over at BetMGM, 90 percent of bets and 94 percent of the money nationally is on the Vols to cover. And in the state of Tennessee, those numbers make a jump up to 95 percent and 98 percent respectively.

@djroxalot @NoleKing I'm not a big betting person, so I don't know much about how this stuff works. With the money so lopsided, how do they fix it in 2 days? I do understand (I think), BetMGM is about to lose a shitload of money if they don't get that money closer.

I don't know....I like what the Vols have done this season but actually like UGA -7.5.

Think the Bulldogs just barely cover it and win by 8 or 9.

Usually the book just alters the spread and money line, interested to see what it looks like Saturday Morning. Vol fans are feeling it that’s for sure and with good reason. Saw them live in person this year, they got something.

Still taking UGA to win. But it should be a fight.

I’m #2 in my office pick em. I picked UT by 8 as a gamble to gain on the guy ahead of me and distance from the pack even more. If I get it wrong, though…

Rooting for the ugly orange again. I thought you were better than that.

I’m not rooting for them, I’m trying to win my pool. Please, wreck them.

If the first quarter goes the way I hope, it will be a glorious beatdown. If not, I make no promises.

That’s my thought too. Georgia either dominates them and puts hope away early, or let’s Hooker & the fans believe in which they can score at any time.

Tennessee fans were offering up to 10K for tickets because they wanted to fill the stands in Sanford. They failed miserably. There won't be a Vile fanbase there big enough to matter.

That could make all the difference right there.

They've played 2 road games this year. Pitt and LSU. They have no clue what it's gonna be like in Athens. Huepel is trying to explain how they are preparing, but his answer is "crowd noise" doesn't matter. While I've legit questioned Bama's penalty numbers this year, the Vols are 2nd in the SEC in penalties per game. I suspect a large number of false starts from their OL caused by the crowd.
