Five SEC games are set for Saturday as the end of the regular season draws closer. And Bill Connelly is back with his score projections for every FBS game, based on his SP+ ratings.
According to Connelly, his picks stood at 52.1 percent against the spread in the 2020 season after last Saturday’s games.
The SP+ ratings, of course, were developed by Connelly as a “measure of college football efficiency”. He created the formula in 2008 and now utilizes it for ESPN, where he is a college football writer.
The most notable game of the weekend is Texas A&M, with the Aggies projected to keep their College Football Playoff hopes alive with a victory. As for Alabama vs. LSU, their game last year was one of the most notable ones of the season, but the spice is gone due to the struggles of the Tigers in 2020. The Crimson Tide are projected to win that one easily but not cover the current betting line.
Georgia vs. Vanderbilt was on the list as well, but that game will, of course, not be played this Saturday. But here are the projected scores of each SEC game set to go on this weekend:
Arkansas 26, Missouri 25
Texas A&M 31, Auburn 24
Florida 38, Tennessee 20
Kentucky 30, South Carolina 23
Alabama 44, LSU 18
