With nearly all the Week 1 SEC action in the books, LSU still has to play Miami on Sunday, we now have some idea of what each 2018 team looks like on the field. Taking that into consideration, the initial gambling lines of Week 2 have been formulated following Saturday’s action.
The most anticipated game of the weekend will be taking place in Columbia, as South Carolina hosts Georgia with SEC Nation in attendance. The Bulldogs have won three in a row in the annual series and hold the all-time edge in the series 50-18-2.
In the West, Texas A&M hosts Clemson with College GameDay in attendance. The Aggies hold the all-time edge in this series at 3-1, with the latest game being the Tigers’ only win in the series — back in 2005.
Kentucky travels to Florida trying to end a 31-year losing streak to the Gators. Three of the last four in the annual series have been one-possession games. This football program will never be taken seriously in the league until this embarrassing streak comes to an end.
Mississippi State travels to Kansas State, which nearly lost the home opener against South Dakota on Saturday. Arkansas travels to Colorado State, but the Rams have got off to a terrible start, sitting at 0-2 to start the season. Don’t overlook Wyoming’s trip to Missouri, as the Cowboys are led by Craig Bohl, the coach turned North Dakota State into an FCS powerhouse.
Please note, the following Week 2 games won’t have lines due to these teams playing FCS opponents: Auburn (vs. Alabama State), LSU (vs. SE Louisiana), Ole Miss (vs. Southern Illinois) and Tennessee (vs. ETSU).
These initial lines come courtesy of Vegas Insider and are subject to change as incoming money alters the point spreads:
Mississippi State (-10) at Kansas State
Nevada at Vanderbilt (-9.5)
Arkansas State at Alabama (-36.5)
Clemson (-13.5) at Texas A&M
Wyoming at Missouri (-16.5)
Arkansas (-12.5) at Colorado State
Kentucky at Florida (-15)
Georgia (-9.5) at South Carolina
