Week 7 SEC opening lines released
Week 6 of the college football season is now behind us which means it’s time to look ahead to Week 7 of the season.
We’ve got six Southeastern Conference matchups to breakdown with the biggest contest coming Saturday night in Death Valley between Florida and LSU.
Alabama has beaten Texas A&M six years in a row after the Aggies beat the Crimson Tide back in 2012 in the classic Johnny Manziel Heisman moment game in Tuscaloosa. Texas A&M has never beaten Alabama in College Station.
Georgia has beaten South Carolina four years in a row after the Gamecocks beat the Bulldogs back in 2014 in Columbia. Georgia holds the all-time edge in this series at 51-18-2.
Florida beat LSU last season in The Swamp after the Tigers won in Baton Rouge in 2017. The last five games in this series have been a one-score game with LSU holding a 3-2 edge during that span. However, Florida holds the all-time edge in the series at 33-29-3 overall.
Mississippi State beat Tennessee back in 2012, which was the most recent matchup between the two schools. The Bulldogs have not beaten Tennessee in Neyland Stadium since 1986. The Volunteers hold the all-time edge in the series at 28-16-1.
Here’s a look at the opening lines in the SEC, which were first posted by Las Vegas-based Circa Sports:
LSU as a 13 point favorite seems ridiculous. I expect that to come down some prior to the game.
I agree, I thing it should be more like 6.
I’d give the 13 if I had to play this game.
13 will be an easy cover for this LSU team under the lights in Death Valley.
You must not have watched the Florida-LSU series over the years. These games are always tight and the away team often wins. I guess LSU should be favored because the game is in Baton rouge, but -13 is nuts.
The story line of how impressive LSU is this year is very similar to the story line of how impressive Auburn … was.
Vegas is ready when you are.
NashvilleGator, I’ve watched many Florida-LSU games over the years. This LSU team is different and they covered the 13 under the lights in Death Valley, just as I predicted.
Not a gambler. So first team mentioned is that far behind? In point spread?
Georgia by 17
Tennessee by 3
Alabama by 10
Vanderbilt by 6
Kentucky by 3
LSU by 7
Mizzou by 6
I can’t recall a SEC weekend in which every underdog covered.
What have seen from A&M to make you believe they can keep the game within ten points? I’m genuinely interested.
Shut down Florida’s passing game and they have nothing else. When they leave BR, they will have a loss.
You’re like 0-6 on predicting FL’s outcome. Keep it up.
He’s like 1-6 now though.
Well, you could make that exact same argument about LSU this year. Both arguments are wrong.
“ . . . after the Tigers won in Baton Rouge in 2017.”
Wasn’t Florida-LSU in Gainesville 2017 because of the whole 2016 hurricane scheduling thing?
Will be interesting to see how Gators respond where crowd is against them. Have they played a road game yet?
Neutral site game against Miami and away game vs Kentucky
Neither of those is close to Tiger Stadium at night.
UF isn’t TEXAS. We actually play defense and the offense has come through as needed despite obvious shortcomings with the O line. This game will be a battle as so many LSU/UF games are. It wouldn’t bother me if the spread was 21 or 28 points in favor of LSU.
As usual, per the “experts”/talking heads, we only beat Auburn because Auburn is “trash” and “overrated”. If we are fortunate enough to beat LSU (admittedly a tough challenge), they will say the same thing. On the other hand, favored teams like ND are pushed up in the rankings with each opportunity. UF beats a cupcake, we drop 3 spots. ND beats a cupcake, they stay put.
I would agree with that I was just answering this person’s question.
GA 48, SC 13
TN 14, MSU 13
AL 257, A&M 2
Vandy 19, UNLV 6
AR 197, KY 195 after 16 overtimes (tied 48 each at end of reg)
FL 21, LSU 17
Ol’ Miss wins by forfeit as Mizzou accidentally boards plane to Oxford Massachusetts..
LOL and Mizzou would board a plane for their homecoming game why? Go home, little pig, all the way home.
GA by 28, sorry scar
TN by 3, I think TN starts turning around here maybe
Bama by 21, the more I think of this game the wider this gap gets..
Vanderbilt by 13
Kentucky by 17
FL by 3, this is going to be razor close either way imo.
Missouri by 6, assuming KB is 100%.
