Dawgs on the rise
Georgia keeps climbing the board. Following the Dawgs 38-14 win over Vanderbilt, their price jumped from 13.5% to 16%. Georgia leads the SEC in scoring (51.4) and ranks second in points allowed (13.4). Georgia is averaging a 38-point win margin this season and a +7.7 cover margin against the spread.
Ohio State pushing back on the top spot
After losing to Texas in Week 2 and losing the No. 1 ranking, Ohio State has responded with three straight wins and a 2-0 start to Big Ten play, outscoring its opponents 73-33. This season, the Buckeyes are a top-5 offense and number two defense in the Big Ten.
Jeremiah Smith has looked unstoppable. Smith leads the country in all major statistics, including receptions (44), receiving yards (823), and receiving touchdowns (9).
Tide on the rise
After a shaky start to his tenure in Tuscaloosa, Kalen DeBoer has Alabama sitting at 5-0 and the No. 6-ranked team in the country. Bama did get off to a rough start in weeks 2-3 against Kentucky and Florida State, finding themselves down in both games and having to come back and win. However, they’ve cleaned up since with a 49-18 win over South Carolina and a 56-23 win on the road against No. 16 Mississippi State.
Keelon Russell has thrown for 285+ yards and 3+ touchdowns in three straight games, adding a rushing score each time. He’s heating up as the thick of the SEC schedule approaches.
Over the last two weeks, Alabama’s price to win the National Championship spiked from 1.5% to 6%.
