Various casinos in Vegas and offshore have released odds for the 2016 college football season, and the South Point Casino released some on Sunday for its games of the year, which features five UT contests.

Perhaps most surprisingly, South Point has the Vols not only beating Florida, but destroying the Gators, with a very generous 12.5-point spread in favor of UT in that one.
South Point also likes UT (-11) to take care of business against Virginia Tech in the Battle at Bristol. Tennessee is a 4.5-point favorite in its road trip to Texas A&M on Oct. 6.
But while the casino likes the Vols in those big games, it has a more cautious outlook for UT against Georgia, with the Bulldogs favored by one point, and against Alabama, which it has the Tide favored by three points.
Those were the only UT games listed, but with Tennessee being the presumed favorite at this point against Appalachian State, Ohio, Tennessee Tech, Vanderbilt, Kentucky, South Carolina and Missouri, it looks like South Point is thinking about 10-2 for the Vols in 2016.
