By popular demand, I am creating a thread for weekly SEC ATS (Against The Spread) picks. Last year throughout the season I posted the game lines (spreads) for every SEC contest as of the Wednesday before the game, and then made my picks. Other posters in the Recruiting Forum Football Thread joined in on the action and it became a fun challenge to see how we did each week.
This year, I (or someone else) can post the lines every Wednesday from VegasInsider.com's Vegas Consensus list and we can all post our picks. If someone has some free time on their hands, please feel free to track everyone who participate's picks on a spreadsheet so we can keep track of our accuracy and at the end of the season we can find out who the best SEC prognosticator is in the forum.
Since the Vols are playing on Thursday this week (and generally speaking I'm just excited about football), I am going ahead and posting the lines for Week 1 as of Monday at 2:20pm eastern.
Here are the lines:
Thursday:
South Carolina at Vandy -3.5
Appalachian St at Tennessee -20.5
Saturday:
Missouri at West Virginia -9.5
South Alabama at Miss St. -28.5
Southern Miss at Kentucky -6.5
La Tech at Arkansas -26
UMass at Florida -35.5
Clemson -7.5 at Auburn
UCLA at Texas A&M -3
LSU -10 vs Wisconsin
UNC vs Georgia -3
USC vs Alabama -10.5
Monday:
Ole Miss vs FSU -4.5
