I can easily see the Tennessee Vols exceeding their expected season total of 7.5 wins. The offensive line returns intact and so does QB Joshua Dobbs who flourished last season after getting the starting position. The Vols might have the most talented receivers in the SEC and now have two big time running backs in Jalen Hurd and Alvin Kamara, an Alabama transfer. The Vols defense is stout with Barnett, Maggitt, and Cam Sutton who is one of the best corners in the SEC. I look for the Vols defense to create havoc, force turnovers, and give the offense great field position to score points. They have winnable road games @Florida, @Kentucky, and @ Missouri. They do play Alabama on the road, but the Vols will be playing with a week of rest while 'Bama will be coming off a tough game @ Texas A&M. I think the Vols have a potential to upset the Tide this season and win the SEC East. At current odds at +1000, I will be placing a small wager on the Vols to win the East, and a larger wager on them to go OVER 7.5 wins.
