SEC betting lines for Week 5 have been released. Here’s the opening line for every SEC contest, courtesy of Circa Sports:
- Georgia (-1.5) at Alabama
- Kentucky at Ole Miss (-20)
- Mississippi State at Texas (-36)
- Oklahoma (-4) at Auburn
- Arkansas vs. Texas A&M (-6) in Arlington, Tex.
- South Alabama at LSU (-17)
No game nationally will be bigger than the one in Tuscaloosa, as No. 4 Alabama hosts No. 2 Georgia in a battle of the unbeatens in what will be Kalen DeBoer’s first major test as head coach of the Crimson Tide. Both teams were inactive after their Week 3 games: the Tide had no trouble with Wisconsin in a 42-10 victory in Madison while the Bulldogs eked out a 13-12 win at Kentucky.

The last time the Tide and Bulldogs met was in the 2023 SEC Championship, a 27-24 Bama win, and Saturday’s game at Bryant-Denny Stadium could be a preview of another conference title matchup in Atlanta. While Georgia is a point-and-a-half favorite, this one could move to pick-em territory.
Meanwhile, Ole Miss and Texas are massive favorites in their games. The Rebels are favored by more than 3 touchdowns against Kentucky, while Texas is a 36-point favorite against visiting Mississippi State.
