Tennessee Volunteers (25-1)
Connelly: Honestly, I expected to pounce on decent Florida odds -- I figured the Gators might end up overshadowed by Georgia a bit. Instead, Florida's odds are nearly even with Georgia's, and you have got to go a bit further down the list to find a standout. SP+ projects Tennessee to average 4.5 conference wins, 1.2 behind Georgia and 1.4 behind Florida. The Vols' chances of winning the East aren't amazing, but SEC title odds of +2500 equate to about a 3.8% chance of breaking even. That might be worth a swing; Kentucky at +5000 might be, too, to be honest.
Steele: Tennessee opened last year just 2-5 but won its final six games and is now in Year 3 under Jeremy Pruitt. Not only do the Vols have momentum, but they also have a veteran squad with 17 returning starters. To win the SEC, a team must be in the SEC title game, and the Vols have a decent shot at winning the East. Tennessee hosts Georgia, Florida, and Kentucky, who are their three toughest divisional foes. The Vols are worth a shot at this price.
(we don't host UGA but I like the rest of it)
