I heard Cowherd talking about Vegas establishing over/under on D-1 teams’ football wins on the radio today, and thought I’d take a look at ’em.
As of July 11, here’s how the SEC shapes up (remember, these are regular season numbers only):
- Florida – 10
- Auburn – 9
- LSU – 9
- Georgia – 9
- Tennessee – 8.5
- South Carolina – 8
- Alabama – 7.5
- Mississippi State – 6.5
- Kentucky – 6.5
- Arkansas – 6
- Mississippi – 5.5
- Vanderbilt – 3
Keeping in mind this is all about getting people to lay their money down on both sides of a bet, I’d say Vegas thinks (1) the public is buying the scheduling meme as it pertains to Georgia and Florida; (2) Ryan Perrilloux is going to be missed in Baton Rouge this year; and (3) Tony Franklin will be this year’s Al Borges.
And ‘Bama with a 7.5 over/under? Tide fans everywhere are reaching for their credit cards as you read this.
Get The Picture 
If I had 10k to gamble, I’d put it on Arkansas and take the under.
They are gonna be brutal this year.

Senator,
I see that the trade school is at 5.5..
A little low? I hope it’s too high.
Your opinion? Thx….

The Jackets have two 1-AA schools and Duke on the schedule. I think Paul Johnson’s a pretty good coach, too.
I don’t think that adds up to nine wins… but I think Tech gets to six this year, unless there’s a rash of injuries.

South Carolina gets 8 wins in the regular season???
I’ll pull a Doug and streak naked on the loop if that happens.
