Best Bet: TBD DraftKings via OddsJam
Georgia at Auburn, TBD
Buzz: The Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry returns for the 130th time this week. Georgia leads the all-time series against Auburn 65-56-6. This rivalry began in 1892.

Best Bet: Auburn +4.5 (-110) DraftKings via OddsJam
South Carolina at LSU, TBD
Buzz: Both teams come off the bye. Brian Kelly and the Tigers spent their bye week recovering from a loss in at Ole Miss. The Gamecocks strutted their stuff in a 35-13 win over Kentucky. Once a Heisman favorites, LSU QB Garrett Nussmeier has yet to deliver a big-time, big-game performance. He may finally come through this week as one of our Week 7 College Football Best Bets.
Best Bet: LSU -10 (-110) DraftKings via OddsJam

Ohio State at Illinois, 12 p.m. (FOX)
Buzz: Dave Portnoy and the Big Noon Kickoff crew rolls into Champaign along with the unbeaten and defending national champion Buckeyes. Ohio State’s best-in-the-nation defenders should dominate the Jekyll-and-Hyde Illini. Given the strength and potency of Ohio State’s defense, you could see a 21-3 final. The Bucks were 3-0-1 ATS ahead of their game with Minnesota.
Best Bet: Ohio State -14 (-110) DraftKings via OddsJam
Alabama at Missouri, 12 p.n. (ABC)

The Tide continues to get little respect from oddsmakers.

Buzz: A pair of Big 12 also-rans play for pride. TCU’s defense handles business.
Best Bet: TBD DraftKings via OddsJam
Arkansas at Tennessee, 4:15 p.m. (SEC Network)
Buzz: The Razorbacks have already replaced head coach Sam Pittman with Bobby Petrino. Will this be a trap game for the Vols, or will they use it as a tune-up for their visit to Tuscaloosa in Week 8? The Vols have failed to cover in their past 2 games. Petrino
Best Bet: Michigan +2.5 (-110) DraftKings via OddsJam
Iowa at Wisconsin, 7 p.m. (FS1)

Arizona State at Utah, 10:15 p.m. (ESPN)
Buzz: Arizona State ranks atop the Big 12 but has upcoming games against Texas Tech and at Iowa State. A win for ASU at Rice-Eccles Stadium would silence many doubts. We may have to settle for a back-door cover.
Best Bet: ASU +4.5 (-110) DraftKings via OddsJam
