My father played a large role in my addiction to college football and the Mississippi State Bulldogs. I have grown up watching, listening, and traveling to SEC games all over the country with him. One of the conversations we tend to always have before the weekend is the betting lines. Now hear me out… We don’t actually place any bets, but we do seem to know how the games will end up. Every week, my dad and I will call each other to pick the SEC lines of the week.

Before the day kicks off at 11:00 a.m. CT, be sure to check out our picks. I am not saying that we’re always correct, but I am saying that we are usually close. We typically pick the Mississippi State Bulldogs no matter who they are playing so you might not want to use our advice in that game. The lines that we base our picks off of are found at FanDuel.com.

Kentucky @ Ole Miss (-6.5)

Dad: I will take Ole Miss to win, but not cover.

Landon: I don’t think Kentucky is No. 7. I’m picking Ole Miss to cover.

Alabama (-17.5) @ Arkansas

Dad: I’m going to say that Arkansas covers.

Landon: Arkansas covers because it’s at Arkansas.

LSU (-8.5) @ Auburn

Dad: LSU all day long.

Landon: LSU wins big. LSU is better than everyone thinks, and Auburn is worse than everyone thinks.

Georgia (-28.5) @ Missouri

Dad: Missouri is another dumpster fire. I will say UGA covers on the road.

Landon: I like UGA in this one too.

Texas A&M @ Mississippi State (-3.5)

Dad: I’m picking the Bulldogs to win and cover. I feel like we should cover big… by ten points or more. 24-10, Bulldogs. I hope I’m wrong. I hope Mississippi State scores more than 21 points.

Landon: 31-21 Mississippi State. Bulldogs pull away in the fourth quarter and Aggies try to make something happen too little too late.
