    Tennessee-4????

    Anyone have idea why line is so low?
    Looks to easy. I took -4 so I hope it is as easy as it looks.

    Oakland beat Tennessee last year at Tennessee, and one would think Oakland will be jacked to have an SEC team come to their home this time around.

    not everything is a trap.

    Oakland is a good team.
    Game being at home, they could easily win this game again.

    Reason it is -4 is Tennessee is the better team and should win. But Oakland is going to compete.

    Exactly, 4 points is negligible on the road.

    You have to think that to win the game Tenn is up at least 3 points going into the last minute of the game. If Oak can't make a shot and has to foul Tenn could potentially win by 5 if they make both FT and Oak can't hit a shot.

    However, assuming it is as close as it appears on paper, getting +4 at home isnt a bad bet considering Tenn is playing to win by 1, and the chances of them winning by 5 on the road to a team that beat them last year is not that likely unless we're all off on how close this matchup is.

    I think an interesting prop bet would be something like Oak half - Tenn full would probably pay something like +450

    Ken Pomeroy has Oakland predicted to win . I like Tennessee especially @ -3, Oakland is getting credit for last years team- this years team isn't as good.

    I agree, I haven't seen Oakland this year yet but Keith Benson was their whole team last year and I don't see how they could recover from a loss that big.

    I hate to compare teams based on who beat and who lost to who. But Oakland has already lost to Arkansas by 23 points. And Arkansas is not a good team. And then they got killed by Alabama who is a decent team. Tennessee is in between Arkansas and Alabama talent wise, so I think Tennessee wins by 12 and thats giving credit to Oakland being at home as well

    This is one of those times when it looks too easy and should be. Oakland can't hit a 3 pointer to save their lives. Tenn is the better ft team, better defensive team, better offensive team. I wouldn't worry too much about it. Although it wouldn't blow my mind if they beat themselves and oakland takes it. I'm on tenn -3.5 for a decent chunk.

    Good luck

    Arkansas is a good team don't compare a team if you don't no the program. Their best player is out for the season but this happened before that.

    Oakland is the winner, it seemed obvious with the spread bouncing.

    Exactly! Gamlin' Machine, Arkansas was (and probably still is) going to make some noise in the SEC.

    This game was before Marshawn Powell got injured. He had like 20+ points in that game. In fact there were 6 players that game with double figures.

    Arkansas is not a good team. I'm a homer, and even with Marshawn Powell there is no way they were going to win 15 games this year. They are a young inexperienced team with no leadership.
