The Vols have already received a lot of love from Vegas and betting sites this summer. And another site has chimed in with their optimistic odds for Tennessee’s 2016 season.
According to Bruce Feldman, the betting site Bovada gives the Vols the 7th-best odds to make the College Football Playoffs for the 2016 season.

Tennessee falls behind Alabama and LSU in the SEC, but they’re ahead of teams like Notre Dame and Southern California.
Also according to Bovada’s website, Tennessee has the 8th-best odds to win the National Championship. Bovada also has the Vols tied with LSU for the 2nd-best odds to win the whole SEC, falling only behind Alabama. They also have Tennessee as the favorites to win the SEC East by a somewhat slim margin over Georgia.
Odds-makers and betting lines have been in Tennessee’s favor all summer, and it’s placing even higher expectations for the Vols heading into the 2016 season.
