Battle of SEC Unbeatens

Despite both teams having perfect records, Georgia has opened as a 23.5-point favorite over Kentucky.

Georgia posted an impressive 34-10 victory over Auburn on the road Saturday. Backup quarterback Stetson Bennett shined again by passing for 231 yards and two touchdowns.

Bennett completed 14 of 21 passes, including a 60-yard touchdown toss to Ladd McConkey. Georgia was again without starting QB JT Daniels, who has a lat injury.

The Bulldogs defense, tops in the nation, allowed just its second touchdown of the season in six games.

Will Levis threw three touchdown passes and ran for two scores to lead Kentucky over visiting LSU 42-21 on Saturday. The Wildcats had control of the game by early in the fourth quarter when they led 35-7.

Levis threw touchdown passes of 25, 11 and 3 yards while going 14 of 17 for 145 yards. He also had TD runs of 5 and 1 yards.

Chris Rodriguez Jr. rushed for 147 yards and a touchdown on 16 carries.

Kentucky has been one of the better stories of the college football season, but Georgia is relentless. Look for the Bulldogs to post another easy victory and cover the big spread.

OK State Looks to Stay Perfect

Oklahoma State puts its perfect record on the line when it visits Texas. The Longhorns are 5-point favorites.

Off this past weekend, things haven’t come easily for Oklahoma State. None of the Cowboys’ wins have been by more than 11 points and three victories are by a combined 13 points.

Texas lost a shootout to Oklahoma 55-48 on Saturday in the annual Red River Rivalry at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas. The Sooners’ Kennedy Brooks scored the winning touchdown on a 33-yard run with three seconds remaining.

Texas built a 14-0 lead two minutes into the game was up 28-7 at the end of the first quarter. However, the Longhorns saw their three-game winning streak end.

Texas’ Casey Thompson, whose father played for Oklahoma, was 20-of-34 passing for 388 yards and five touchdowns.

Bijan Robinson ran 20 times for 137 yards and an early touchdown.

Look for Texas to bounce back from its tough loss and cover the spread against an Oklahoma State that seems a tad overrated.

Out of Line?

The spread seems low on both the aforementioned games and look for both to get bet up.

Georgia has been mauling opponents and is clearly deserving of its #1 ranking. The Bulldogs, in actuality, are at least four touchdowns better than Kentucky.

While Texas got dinged by the oddsmakers for Saturday’s loss, the Longhorns are a name brand and bettors will jump on the relatively low line.
