Whether you think college football will be played or not come early September, that’s not going to stop the sportsbooks in Las Vegas from posting early Week 1 point spreads for the first games that are scheduled to be played to open the 2020 season.
Thanks to Las Vegas-based sportsbook Circa Sports, we have opening lines to discuss for the first weekend of the college football season involving eight Southeastern Conference teams.
No surprise based on the opening lines but SEC teams are favored in seven of the eight matchups currently listed by Circa Sports, with the lone exception being the Ole Miss vs. Baylor matchup in Houston. That game is currently listed as a Pick ‘Em.
Opening weekend games involving SEC teams that do not currently have odds include Florida vs. Eastern Washington, Auburn vs. Alcorn State, Texas A&M vs. Abilene Christian, Kentucky vs. Eastern Michigan, Missouri vs. Central Arkansas and Vanderbilt vs. Mercer.
