SEC Power Poll - You can Bet on Auburn

SEC BetUS Sportsbook last week.

1: Auburn Tigers (11-5 ATS, 14-9 SU) (4-4 ATS, 3-5 SU in SEC) (LW: 1) After losing in Oxford in the middle of last week, the Tigers came home and pushed Tennessee one step closer to the brink of disaster with a 78-77 victory in a fantastic sports betting affair. They’ve now won two out of three at home, and could be tough match-ups for this week’s opposition.

This Week: Home vs. Arkansas, Home vs. Mississippi State

2: Mississippi Rebels (12-7 ATS, 13-10 SU) (7-2 ATS, 4-5 SU in SEC) (LW: 2) The Rebels picked up their fourth straight cover by knocking off Auburn 78-59 at home last week, but turned around and got blown away by a questionable Vandy team over the weekend. They’ve won just one road game since December 6th, and should find the sledding tough once again in the Bayou.

This Week: Away @ LSU

3: Mississippi State Bulldogs (10-6-1 ATS, 16-7 SU) (6-2 ATS, 6-2 SU in SEC) (LW: 5) The SEC might be down this year, but the Bulldogs are still putting together a pretty good resume for the Selection Committee to consider. They’ve won eight of their L/10 games overall, and beat two fellow bubble teams in Kentucky and Arkansas last week. A 5-3 record in its L/8 and a win or two in the SEC Tourney in March should send MSU dancing.

This Week: Home vs. LSU, Away @ Auburn

4: LSU Tigers (9-6 ATS, 19-4 SU) (6-2 ATS, 7-1 SU in SEC) (LW: 6) The Bayou Bengals sure appear to have done enough to pull off a huge turnaround and get into the Big Dance this year. Their only real signature road win this year came against Tennessee though, and that win is looking less and less impressive as the games go by. Going into Starkville and picking up that magical 20th win would likely be cause to bust out the dancing shoes this week.

This Week: Away @ Mississippi State, Home vs. Mississippi

5: Kentucky Wildcats (10-8-1 ATS, 16-8 SU) (4-5 ATS, 5-4 SU in SEC) (LW: 3) Gulp. Things are getting dicey for the Wildcats, who were stunned at home by Mississippi State as 10.5-point favorites last week. That makes three straight games in which UK was favored by at least nine, and three straight which it lost outright. There are many teams on the bubble that are happy to see this slide, and they’re all big Gator fans this week.

This Week: Home vs. Florida, Away @ Arkansas

6: Arkansas Razorbacks (8-6 ATS, 13-8 SU) (3-5 ATS, 1-7 SU in SEC) (LW: 4) The losing streak for the Razorbacks has reached three games and seven out of eight after suffering losses to Tennessee and MSU last week. The good news is that there isn’t a game on the schedule left that the ‘Backs’ can’t win. The bad news is that they’ve still only won one game in conference all season.

This Week: Away @ Auburn, Home vs. Kentucky

7: South Carolina Gamecocks (8-8-1 ATS, 17-5 SU) (5-3-1 ATS, 6-3 SU in SEC) (LW: 7) Carolina had a chance to spring a huge upset over Florida in the Swamp last week, but came away with a 97-93 defeat. Much like the rest of its SEC brethren, SC really doesn’t have that signature win yet this season, but also like the rest of the conference, it doesn’t have much left on the schedule to help its cause. One would like to think that wins in Tuscaloosa and Starkville would keep the Gamecocks firmly on the inside of the field at the moment.
