Kyle Trask (and Kyle Pitts) impressed big time last weekend even though the defense struggled. We'll take Florida to cover and the over.
Tennessee gets the homefield advantage so they get my bet against a middling Mizzou squad. Tennessee -11.5.
This is a tough one. A&M looked terrible against Vanderbilt and Nick Saban is 19-0 against former assistants with a 25.9-point win margin. Despite that high average, think it's risky a little risky to bet on the spread here, so we'll just take over 53.5.
Ole Miss and Lane Kiffin's offense didn't look too shabby here and it's a nice payout if they win so we'll pick our first underdog upset in the SEC Bets series... Ole Miss to win +200.
Mississippi State shocked a depleted LSU team last week and Vanderbilt did the same to Texas A&M so this is a tough one. Three scores is a lot so we'll take Vanderbilt +21.
This Mike Leach offense would've dropped 60 on Arkansas in the last two seasons but the Hogs defense looked improved against No. 4 Georgia. Despite that, still going to go with Mississippi to cover at -17. We'll also put 10 dollars down on Arkansas to win for a potential $52.50 payout. The O/U is certainly tempting but pass.
This game is a real toss up, so we'll bet on Auburn to win straight up for the nice returns.
