Arguably, the biggest game on tap for Week 11 in the SEC is the top-25 clash between No. 3 Texas A&M and No. 22 Missouri, a game that could end up having massive SEC Championship implications.
The Aggies are taking their first 8-0 start since 1992 into this weekend’s game. In Columbia, they’ll find a showdown with a Mizzou squad that has lost 2 of its last 3 SEC games yet remains a dangerous squad despite the recent road bumps.
SportsCenter host Scott Van Pelt discussed this SEC clash on his weekly Winners segment Thursday night, and he actually picked the Tigers against the spread at home against the Aggies.
“A&M folks, you think I dislike your team,” Van Pelt said. “Not at all. Couldn’t be further from the truth. You’re fantastic, I just like a home team giving around a touchdown. Mizzou’s feisty, and I think that it’s going to be a close game.”
Note that Van Pelt isn’t picking Mizzou to pull off the upset here; he’s just taking them against the 6.5 point spread (via bet365) that currently favors Texas A&M on the road.
SVP also picked Penn State (+14.5 point underdogs) to cover against No. 2 Indiana, No. 20 Iowa (+6.5) to cover against No. 9 Oregon, and Wake Forest (+6.5) to cover against No. 12 Virginia.
