Why would you bet hundreds of thousands of dollars on Tennessee to win by more than 35?
That's a question a bettor at BetMGM is surely asking after placing a $220,000 bet on the Vols to cover 35.5 against Bowling Green. Tennessee won the game easily 38-6. But the Vols didn't win by 36 or more and the bet didn't cash.
It's hard to see why a bet on Tennessee was a great idea entering the game. UT was one of the worst teams in the SEC in 2020 and has a new coach in Josh Heupel.
