Vols are a run heavy team first and foremost.
I'm not saying Oklahoma is going to excel in this department against the Vols, but Tennessee hasn't ran against a defense like this especially these backers. We've done a pretty good job stopping the run, and we're getting some key Cheatahs back we haven't had all season too on D.
*Fully admitting neither team has played anyone up until this point

Vegas is aware of Sooner Magic. They’ll be happy to build another shiny casino with Tenners money

They practiced against as good or better all off season. Don’t talk me into believing the Vols win this one, please. The biggest advantage Okie has is off the field. They are at home in a night game. That’s the biggest concern for the Vols is how they respond to the hostile night crowd.
Vols comfortably go 3 deep at RB and 7 deep at WR with guys that are healthy and have played together all year, and offseason. The Oline depth is a question but they have used the tune up games to get guys comfortable.
And the Vols D is significantly better than the O. They run out 12 guys on that Dline they trust and have 4 guys at the 2 LB spots that all know what they are about. The Secondary is better than last year talent and fit wise but hasn’t played together before this offseason. They go 2-3 deep across the secondary with confidence.
On paper this is Vols by a bunch. But the hostile night crowd is the concern. Okie is a year away from putting a really good product on the field and I’m glad next years game is in Knoxville.

Oh, N1cO can throw a pick or two. He's a gunslinger. That said, the run game will negate all that.

N1cO gonna quiet them down fast is my hope. If the Vols take the opening drive and rampage down the field in a minute and a half to a TD, the crowd will be tame enough.
Subdued.

That's simply not the line. Apparently everyone is looking at an old line which is probably the first link that comes up when you Google it. The line is around Tennessee-6 5

It depends on what booking site or source you're looking at. Right now it's all over the place. I hope you're right though because I want Oklahoma to be the underdog at home, at night and under the lights.
Saturday morning I want every Game Day analyst to pick Tennessee to win that game. I want Corso to go all in on the theatrics and I want Oklahoma's players to spend the entire day thinking about how the entire country is against them.

That's not true. The Vegas Insider link that pops up is the opening line from before the season.
