Despite all the numbers pointing to a low scoring game at home for Mississippi State, I think this game has all the makings for a high scoring shootout and could easily see both teams scoring in the mid to high 30s. These are two solid QBs that have great arms and like to stretch the field and so do their head coaches. The Aggies shredded the Gators' top-ranked defense and should have a big day through the air. KJ Costello set an SEC passing record in his season opener but has since struggled. Costello will get a chance for redemption because he will be throwing it a ton here.
KENTUCKY +6.5

The Tennessee Vols come into this game with their tails between their legs after playing a great first half vss Georgia only to collapse in the second half and now could have questions at the QB position. Kentucky is a dangerous football team despite their record and I think they have a great chance to win this game let alone cover the number. Terry Wilson has been up and down at QB as well for the Wildcats. However, his scrambling ability always gives him a chance to make a play. Tennessee is just 5-11-1 their last 17 as a favorite and 8-17 ATS in their last 25 home games.

The Clemson Tigers will have to avoid any "letdown" here after thumping the Miami Hurricanes last game and they come into this game as a huge road favorite. Look for Dabo Swinney to put his foot on the gas pedal here and lay the wood to GT. Trevor Lawrence should have a big day throwing the football and already has 10 TDs with 0 INTs. The Tigers have won 25 consecutive games vs ACC opponents. Tigers are 11-3 ATS in their last 14 road games.

The Wolfpack have seen the Over cash in all four games this year while Duke has seen the Over post a 3-2 record. The way these two teams matchup vs. one another, we should see some points and now that the number has come down to under 60 from when it first opened, time to jump in. Despite these two teams' close proximity, they don't meet on a regular basis and that is an advantage for both teams offensively. The Pack are averaging 34 points per contest on offense and allow the same on defense. Duke allows over 30 per contest.

This is a very intriguing matchup and quite frankly this spread is moving in the wrong direction in my opinion. The Hokies are not the same team they have been over the years defensively allowing 37 points per game while their offense is averaging 42. The Eagles have played well at 3-1 and have a defense that allows just over 20 points per contest which is 16th in the nation. The Eagles have done a great job not beating themselves and have committed just one turnover. Eagles only loss was by four points to UNC, a game they could have easily won.
