Re: Point spreads week 10
Vandy ended up favored over WKU in Nashville by 12 1/2 and won by 14, their first win against the spread since week 3 of the season.
Mississippi State -34 1/2 at home vs. UMass; won by only 11. It was their first game this season decided by fewer than 21 points, win or lose.
Missouri was a 1 1/2 point favorite at home vs. Florida and walloped the Randy Shannon led Gators by 29. It was their 5th win in a row against the spread since starting 0-4.
Auburn was favored over Texas A&M by 15 and pushed with a 15 point win. They’re only 3-5-1 ats but are 7-2 overall, 5-1 in the SEC.
Georgia closed favored by 23.5 at home vs. South Carolina and won but failed to cover, winning by 14. UGa is 4-0 ats on the road and only 2-3 at home but remain undefeated.
Arkansas was favored at home over Coastal Carolina by 24 1/2 and managed to win by 1 after trailing by 13 in the fourth quarter. The Hogs are 2-7 ats this season; 4-5 overall.
Tennessee was favored over Southern Miss at home by 7 and doubled that with a 14 point win. They’ve covered the spread three times this season, against UF, UK, and USM.
Alabama was -20 1/2 vs. LSU in Tuscaloosa and won by 14. The Tide is 4-5 ats but hasn’t been in danger of losing yet this season.
Kentucky ended up favored over Ole Miss at home by 3 1/2 and lost by 3. UK is 2-7 against the spread this season and anyone that would bet on them should have their head examined. The record ats is possibly part of the reason why Vandy is favored this week by 2.5 (and it’s in Nashville) but Vandy is only 3-5-1 ats themselves.
Re: Point spreads week 10
Thought this was interesting....these are the SEC teams’ records overall, in the SEC, and against the spread. Oddly enough, if you add up the wins (and give a half point for each push), you get a fairly accurate ranking imo with the possible exception of South Carolina maybe being a tad high (last number is the combined total):
Georgia...9-0, 6-0, 6-3 (21)
Alabama...9-0, 6-0, 4-5 (19)
South Carolina...6-3, 4-3, 6-2-1 (16.5)
Miss. State...7-2, 3-2, 6-3 (16)
Auburn...7-2, 5-1, 3-5-1 (15.5)
LSU...6-3, 3-2, 4-5 (13)
Texas A&M...5-4, 3-3, 4-3-2 (13)
Kentucky...6-3, 3-3, 2-7 (11)
Missouri...4-5, 1-4, 5-4 (10)
Ole Miss...4-5, 2-4, 3-6 (9)
Florida...3-5, 3-4, 2-6 (8)
Vanderbilt...4-5, 0-5, 3-5-1 (7.5)
Tennessee...4-5, 0-5, 3-6 (7)
Arkansas...4-5, 1-4, 2-7 (7)
Re: Point spreads week 10
That's pretty cool, Catfan73. And a decent case can be made for South Carolina coming on strong now, I think, even if a tad high.
