Total: OVER 50.5 (-104) | UNDER 50.5 (-118)

What a Saturday. The college football world is ready to get shaken on its head again in Week 7. There are multiple elite showdowns, and who doesn’t love the Red River Rivalry? These two programs do not like one another and it will show on the football field this week. The Texas Longhorns head to a rowdy atmosphere in Oklahoma with a perfect record on the line. There have been moments with this Sooners team where they look like they may be on the cusp of something special. You’re going to see multiple big punches thrown from both sides in this clash, and if history has shown us anything, it’s that this spread is far too wide. Besides an outlier of utter domination from Texas in 2022, 11 of the past 12 meetings have been decided by 12 points or less. We’re not about to bet against that type of history here. 

Recommended Play: Sooners +14.5 (-115)

Vanderbilt Commodores vs. Kentucky Wildcats

Spread: Commodores +13.5 (-112) | Wildcats -13.5 (-108)
Moneyline: Commodores +385 | Wildcats -520
Total: OVER 44.5 (-110) | UNDER 44.5 (-110)

It’s not hard to picture a letdown from the Vanderbilt Commodores after the upset over Alabama in Week 6. In saying that, we’re not banking on it. Entering the year, I had little to no faith in this Commodores program. Head coach Clark Lea has made me a believer, and not just because they pulled off a major upset vs. the Crimson Tide. The Commodores have been one of the more consistent programs this year, outside of their one blemish on the road against Georgia State. The Wildcats are dangerous on defense, especially up front, which could give Vanderbilt’s offense a level of pressure they haven’t seen before. I think the Commodores offense isn’t getting enough respect with the way this line is set. I like Kentucky to win outright, but I like the Commodores to keep it within single digits. 

Recommended Play: Commodores +13.5 (-112)

Mississippi State Bulldogs vs. No. 5 Georgia Bulldogs

Spread: Mississippi State +33.5 (-110) | Georgia -33.5 (-110)
Moneyline: N/A
Total: OVER 53.5 (-110) | UNDER 53.5 (-110)

We’re still waiting for that really dominant performance from both sides of the football from this Georgia team. There have been some moments of greatness, but they’ve been few and far between from a program that’s been the standard over the past four seasons. By all accounts, Georgia’s had a great week of practice, and that’s bad news if you’re Mississippi State. Miss. State is already a team that doesn’t give you any confidence, and going against an angry Georgia squad won’t benefit them in the slightest. The visitors have stayed in more football games than I expected this year, but I don’t envision that happening on the road in Week 7. This is a great spot for Georgia to lay a beat down on Mississippi State, but I’m much more drawn toward the under in this clash. Think something along the lines of Georgia 40, Mississippi 10. 

Recommended Play: UNDER 53.5 (-110)
