OAKLAND PARK, Fla. (Gambling911.com) - DeSean Bishop has 13 touchdowns coming into today's Tennessee vs. Texas A&M game. His price is too high at -285 (though he is practically a 'lock' to score) and there aren't a whole lot of other attractive options for this game.
Tennessee vs. Texas A&M Betting Preview
Tennessee was seeing as much as 88% of the spread betting action, both money and tickets with the line having dropped from -3 to -1.5.
Sagarin suggests a line of Vols -5 but the current line movement drawing more action towards Tennessee pretty much speaks volumes here.
The circumstances are such that you will want to avoid placing a bet on the spread for this one.
Tennessee has several significant injuries, and there are two other reasons the Vols are only slight favorites against Texas A&M: an unsettled quarterback situation and a disrupted travel schedule.
