NCAAF: Kentucky +4 1H @ 1.885/-113 (3 Units)
-Opting for the 1st half line because I think it's necessary they cover 1H if they are going to cover the game. UK gets their starting QB in Wilson back after he missed last season with injury, their starting RB back, 4 starting offensive lineman, and 7 starters on defense. They're full of juniors and seniors on both sides of the ball and can finally put up a fight in the SEC to some extent.
Kentucky had the 11th ranked defensive line on football outsiders for last year, Auburn had the 39th ranked offensive line. In a game where controlling Bo Nix will be key, that's a matchup favoring Kentucky. They also have 2 stud linebackers to help that cause.
Matchup wise, UK fares pretty well. My only concern is general conditioning, discipline, and coaching over the course of the entire game. To cover full game, UK has to cover the 1H in my opinion so I'll just take the half line.
NCAAF: LSU -14 @ 1.90/-111 (3 Units)
-I wouldn't lay this a half point past 14. Line is from Bookmaker buying the half point.
Stingley was announced out and the line has tanked. He very well may be the best DB in the entire country, but the overadjustment is uncalled for. He was 1 of only 2 returning starters for LSU on the defense but they have a boatload of players who got a ton of snaps last year and are more than capable of doing their job.
KJ Costello transferred from Stanford to Miss St.. and as much as I like his arm talent and think he was limited at Stanford, he lacks prep time here. Zone blocking scheme for them on the O-Line can be punished here and I think LSU will do just that, which ends up negating Stingley missing the game to some extent.
NCAAF: Arkansas 1st Half TT Un6.5 @ 1.87/-115 (2 Units)
-Florida was instantly better last year once Feleipe Franks got hurt. Never been a fan of him and now he's the QB of Arkansas. Don't see him finding the endzone here vs the #1 ranked defense in the nation. Georgia has a legitimate chance to win it all this year if they get their offense going and this is just step 1. Fully expect a statement game from them here to open the year and lock down Franks and the rest of the abysmal Arkansas offense.
