This Southeastern Conference is regarded as college football’s unquestioned top league.
On Saturday, those powerful SEC teams should produce some closely contested games — well, at least according to the betting numbers on those game posted today in Las Vegas.
Third-ranked Alabama is just a minus-5 point favorite by CG Technology at No. 11 Mississippi and could be on upset alert. No. 5 Auburn is a minus-9.5 favorite against No. 17 LSU and will surely also face a tough test.
Texas A & M, who is ranked No. 6 and needed overtime last week to beat Arkansas, might not be as fortunate when it travels to Mississippi State. Oddsmakers opened the game as a pick-em. The Florida at Tennessee game is also a pick.
Buckle up. It’s going to be an awesome week.
