🔮 Ole Miss vs. Oklahoma early prediction
🅾️ Oklahoma -3 (-110)
John Mateer looked much crisper in Week 8 against South Carolina after a sporadic return from his thumb injury for Red River the week before. With Mateer's steady hand behind center, Oklahoma's offense should be able to do enough to win at home against an Ole Miss team coming off a loss to Georgia. The Rebels' defense is an issue (outside the top 25 in SP+), and its offense might struggle to make up for it against a Brent Venables defense that's No. 3 in SP+ thanks to stars like R Mason Thomas.
📊 Alabama vs. South Carolina odds
- Date: Saturday, Oct. 25
- Kickoff: 3:30 p.m. ET
- Location: Williams-Brice Stadium (Columbia, S.C.)
- How to watch: ABC
🔮 Alabama vs. South Carolina early prediction
🐘 Alabama -13.5 (-110)
Since that Week 1 loss to Florida State, Alabama has beaten four teams ranked top 20 by SP+, while QB Ty Simpson has turned into one of the best Heisman bets in the country. Meanwhile, South Carolina has lost four of its last five, including a 19-point loss at home in Week 8 to Oklahoma. LaNorris Sellers can't do everything for this team, which is why the Gamecocks are 2-4 ATS since Week 2. On the other hand, Alabama is 5-0-1 ATS since losing to the Seminoles and is one of just five teams ranked top 15 on offense and defense by SP+.
📊 Stanford vs. Miami odds

🔮 Texas A&M vs. LSU early prediction
🤠 Texas A&M -2.5 (-115)
Don't let the vibes being worse at massive programs like Penn State, Florida, and Florida State distract you from the fact that Brian Kelly's seat is heating up. LSU is 0-2 ATS versus two ranked SEC opponents this season, both outright losses, and 2-4 ATS since beating an overrated Clemson team in Week 1. As for Texas A&M, the Aggies look like a legit CFP contender thanks to an explosive offense led by QB Marcel Reed. He has Mike Elko's team ranked No. 6 by SP+ on offense, while LSU is No. 48. The Aggies have covered in two of their last three.
📊 Colorado vs. Utah odds
- Date: Saturday, Oct. 25
- Kickoff: 10:15 p.m. ET
- Location: Rice-Eccles Stadium (Salt Lake City, Utah)
