Kentucky +6.5

Novig

Kentucky +6.5 at plus money is the best price on the board, and I don't pass up plus-money on a ranked 5-1 team getting nearly a touchdown. Oklahoma earned a bump for upsetting Texas, but the market may be paying a premium for one big win. Not a lock, just a number I like.

Texas -10.5
+108
Novig

Texas -10.5 at +108 implies about 48 percent, and a plus price on a ranked home favorite against a 4-2 Florida team that just dropped out of the poll is where I see a small edge. My rough estimate is 50 to 51 percent, a gap of two to three points. The narrative about Texas losing to Oklahoma is one game, and I do not reprice a team on a sample of one.

Novig

I keep coming back to the rankings: No. 16 Mississippi State at 4-1 is getting 11.5 points from No. 22 LSU, a 4-2 team coming off an overtime loss to Kentucky. The week in Baton Rouge has been about the head coach's comments on the officials rather than the film, and that is not where you want the focus heading into a ranked conference game. I am not saying the Bulldogs win outright, but two touchdowns minus a hook is a lot of cushion in a game this close on paper.

Florida +10.5

FanDuel

The Quant is laying double digits with a Texas team that just got pushed around by Oklahoma, and the Gators come in unranked with their coach's postgame comments drawing heat. That is exactly the kind of ugly, unloved underdog I want, especially when the headline everyone remembers is Texas, not the number. Ten and a half is a lot of points to hand a 4-2 SEC team that the crowd has already written off.
