The calm before the storm.
That’s what the week prior to Rivalry Week has been in the SEC, traditionally.
It’s hardly devoid of good matchups, though. According to the early Las Vegas lines, as many as four SEC games feature single-digit point spreads Sunday.
The headliners are a pair of SEC West matchups. Vegas thinks LSU is headed for a third consecutive loss, while it believes in Arkansas’ November magic.
Interestingly, Vanderbilt is barely a touchdown underdog against Texas A&M, which earned a high ranking at one point earlier this season. The Commodores are playing well — on the field and in sports books.
Here are the rest of the Week 12 lines. Every SEC team plays this week.
