The 2008 Tennessee Volunteers are one of the major contenders in the SEC for college football betting this season. Tennessee returns a total of 14 starters, eight on offense and six on defense. Tennessee had a great 2007 college football betting season going 10-4 straight up including a win over Wisconsin in the Outback Bowl.

Last year, Tennessee went 8-4-2 against the spread in college football betting odds and 7-7 in over/unders. The Volunteers averaged 185 passing yards and 150.1 rushing yards per game while allowing opponents 233.1 passing and 115.4 rushing yards per game.

Tennessee is also 4-1-1 against the spread in their last 6 games but only 2-3-1 in their last 6 games on the road.

The 2008 Tennessee Volunteers will have a new offensive coordinator in Dave Clawson from Richmond who will bring his West Coast offense with him. Tennessee is led on offense by the very talented running back Arian Foster who helped averaged 148.8 yards for the season.

College football betting odds to win the 2008-2009 BCS National Championship at BetUS sportsbook have the Tennessee Volunteers +3000 and +800 in college football odds to win the SEC Conference.

Vegas odds to win the 2009 BCS National Game have the Tennessee Volunteers at 30/1.

2008 Tennessee Volunteers Offense

Jonathan Crompton finally gets his chance at quarterback for Tennessee. He has all of the talent you could possibly want from a quarterback but is short on experience. He will get a lot of support as Arian Foster returns at running back. He could become Tennessee’s all-time leading rusher this season as he looks to surpass Travis Henry’s totals.

Foster had 1,193 yards last season according to college football betting stats. The receiving corps is strong led by Gerald Jones and Lucas Taylor. It was Taylor that led the Vols last year with 1,000 yards on 73 catches according to college football betting stats.

The good news on offense continues as the Vols return four starters from an excellent offensive line.

2008 Tennessee Volunteers Defense

The defensive line is a big strength for Tennessee returning 6 starters including Demonte’ Bolden who was All-SEC last season. Also up front are Dan Williams, Walter Fisher, Robert Ayers and West Brown.

The linebacking corps is solid led by Rico McCoy at weakside and Ellix Wilson on the strong side. The secondary for Tennessee is should be decent with 3 returning starters including strong safety Eric Berry, safety Demetrice Morley and corners DeAngelo Willingham and Brent Vinson.

“I’m not sure we’ve had a pair of safeties like this since I’ve been here,” says defensive coordinator John Chavis, “We’ve got a chance to be special.”

BetUs sportsbook has college football betting odds for the Tennessee Volunteers regular season wins set at 8, -110 over and -130 under.

2008 Tennessee Volunteers Prediction

The Volunteers were a very profitable against the college football odds a year ago and could see similar success this season but will have to contend with South Carolina. The schedule will be difficult for Tennessee but they definitely have the talent to navigate through it.

They open up at UCLA whose starting quarterback is injured, so that should be a win but the problem for Tennessee is that they have to face Florida and Auburn back-to-back in September and have to go to Georgia and South Carolina later in the season. The Volunteers have the talent to contend for the SEC title but the schedule will probably prevent them from winning it.
