As the SEC football season gears down towards the bowl season, there are still meaningful games on the docket. How much is your SEC team favored by this week? Do not forget, as the season grinds on, injuries tend to pile up ...
Vanderbilt Commodores at Tennessee Volunteers
Tennessee is a 17 point favorite
Even with as bad as the Volunteers' lack of defensive depth was exposed by Ole Miss ... Vandy's offensive is equally inept. Vols cover in this one.
Kentucky Wildcats at Georgia Bulldogs
Georgia is an 8 point favorite
Kentucky needs a quality win in the SEC. While the Bulldogs have struggled this season (by their fans' standards), the UGA rushing attack has appeared to turn the corner ... that will not be good UK's porous defense.
Mississippi State at Arkansas Razorbacks
Arkansas is an 11 point favorite
Our jury is still out on this one. Arkansas has looked solid in most games this year. MSU has had their moments. While we do not believe (at least right now on Monday) that MSU can win this game, we are not totally sold on the point spread ... check back later in the week.
LSU Tigers at Ole Miss Rebels
Ole Miss is a 3.5 point favorite
Ole Miss showed Tennessee fans what a home field advantage should look like. LSU struggled in the first half in post-Alabama let down ... but still won the game against an inferior opponent. This will be a very good, hard fought game, but LSU's lack of a rushing attack may end up biting them.
Chattanooga at Alabama Crimson Tide
No line on this game, but expect Bama to win by around 36
Honestly, Alabama could beat this team by 50+ ... will they? Look for Alabama to rest key players in anticipation of their Iron Bowl match-up against Auburn on November 27th. There is no point in playing starters for long in this game ... why risk the injury?
Florida International at Florida Gators
The Gators are favored by 44
How much underdog action does this game receive in Vegas? Yes, the Gators should win this game around 48-0, but like the Bama game listed above, the name of the game is to win and prevent injuries.
