The offshore sportsbook 5Dimes has released season win totals for 11 of the 14 SEC teams.
Alabama and Georgia appear to be division favorites according to the 5Dimes odds, with Mississippi State a candidate to finish last in the SEC West.
Keep in mind these are not iron-clad predictions of how many games each team will win, but calculated odds to try to ensure that the sportsbook turns a profit.
Also, the 5Dimes win total bets exclude conference championships and bowl games, so this is based only on a 12-game regular season.
Here are the projected SEC standings based on the 5Dimes odds. (I broke the ties by using the over/under lines — for instance, Alabama at -145 over the total is a heavy favorite to win more than nine games, while Arkansas at +120 over the total is an underdog to win eight games.)
1. Alabama: 9
2. Georgia: 9
3. LSU: 8
4. Ole Miss: 8
5. Auburn: 8
6. Arkansas: 8
7. Texas A&M: 7
8. South Carolina: 7
9. Mississippi State: 7
10. Kentucky: 6
11. Vanderbilt: 3
Off: Florida, Missouri, Tennessee
