Well, that one stung. Again. The underdogs had a weekend across the whole conference.

Five of the seven underdogs on the Mayo board won outright: Florida, Auburn (+20.5 at Georgia!), Tennessee, Arkansas and Kentucky. 76% of the board took Alabama -8.5 and the Vols won by 16.

The one thing the board got right: 76% took Kentucky +6.5, and Kentucky didn't need the points.

Congrats to @Alex Butler, who Holds the Mayo after going 5-2 in Week 7. @Jordan Scruggs also went 5-2, but Alex's picks were in first.

Week 8 is open. Six SEC games against the spread, best record Holds the Mayo, ties go to whoever picked first:

• LSU (-8.5) at Auburn, 11:00 AM CT
• Texas A&M at Alabama (-14.5), 2:30 PM CT
• Tennessee at South Carolina (-2.5), 2:30 PM CT
• Oklahoma (-4.5) at Mississippi State, 2:30 PM CT
• Vanderbilt at Kentucky (-11.5), 6:30 PM CT
• Ole Miss at Texas (-3.5), 6:30 PM CT

The pick for each game locks at its own kickoff, and you can change your picks any time between now and then without losing your place in line.

So after last week, which underdog wins outright this time? Ole Miss just beat Missouri 31-3 and Texas is only laying 3.5 at home, and I'm obviously nervous about that one. Tennessee getting points against South Carolina after what they did to Bama seems off to me.

Let's get back on track Saturday night.

Hook 'em! 🤘

The conference has been flipping expectations upside down lately. What looked obvious a week ago suddenly wasn't so obvious by Saturday night. That's why some of these numbers this weekend feel like traps. Our matchup in Austin has my attention, but the road team from Knoxville getting less respect than expected might be the most interesting number on the board.

Trap game after the huge win at Alabama, away game at SC maybe? Only way I can think of.

It's against the spread.

LSU (-8.5) at Auburn, 11:00 AM CT

✅ Auburn the points

Texas A&M at Alabama (-14.5), 2:30 PM CT

✅ Texas A$M the points

Tennessee at South Carolina (-2.5), 2:30 PM CT

✅ Tennessee to cover

Oklahoma (-4.5) at Mississippi State, 2:30 PM CT

✅ Oklahoma to cover

Vanderbilt at Kentucky (-11.5), 6:30 PM CT

✅ Kentucky to cover

Ole Miss at Texas (-3.5), 6:30 PM CT

✅ Ole Miss outright.

That last one pains me.

It seems harder than ever to pick these games.  I have no idea anymore.  Let's go Miss St, beat the hell out of ou.
