Tennesse Vols @ Memphis Tigers Saturday ( early discussion)

[vols fan]

No bias here at all from someone whose user name is "VOLSFAN"...

not much.I think we would all agree that for the most part your favorite team in college is 95% football,4%basketball and 1%womens basketball(only at uconn,rutgers and Tennessee)I follow them in basketball but it's nothing like football.If you do see someone with a Duke or North Carolina hat you do think basketball but all others you think Football.

[GrandPa]

Anyway, I am predicting a line of Memphis -6.5

Line is 6 at Pinny

[GrandPa]

Memphis has a 47 game home win streak on the line too

[GrandPa]

Memphis now at 6.5

[birdog]

I think Tenn wins

[BillMill71]

I noticed in the trends/index section ( my fave) that #1 v #2 has occurred 4 times previously involving teams within the same state, and that #2 has won all 4 times.

Yes, but GC points out that since 1975--in non-conference play-when a number 1,plays a no.2 team- the #1 ranked team has won all 6 times

So........ I will stay away, enjoy the game and continue my poor attempt to find a better play

In all 4 of the matches between #1 and #2 from the same state, #2 has won 'em all

[harold_bush]

Bet Jamaica has the line up to 7, from 5.5. Lot of sharp money on Memphis, b/c wager line has 65% on TN, but the line is heading the "wrong" way. As enticing as TN +7 is, I think we all know what to do when the line is moving in favor of the public team.

[birdog]

I think Tenn wins

Wish I would of bet the Tenn ML oh well

[GrandPa]

Tennessee ML and whatever the line is.

Sweet. Wish they were all this EZ

[GrandPa]

I hate it when I am so right. I do love all of the congratulatory talk afterwards though.
