00:03 I'm not saying we're on upset alert, but is there one team you like a little bit

00:06 more in covering a number this week than another here?

00:08 >> Yeah, I'm not entirely sure, Donnie, if I back any of these teams to cover what

00:13 is at least a four touchdown spread.

00:16 The point I wanna make though is Georgia.

00:18 An SEC opener against South Carolina.

00:21 But Donnie, the preseason AP top 25 was virtually 27th.

00:25 They had the second highest amount of receiving votes in that category.

00:29 Yeah, they did not look good in the opener against UNC.

00:32 But Georgia, in its SEC opener, albeit at home between the hedges in Sanford,

00:37 is a 27.5 point favorite.

00:40 That should show you the odds expectation for the Bulldogs and

00:44 where Georgia is expected to be this year.

00:47 Georgia has not covered Donnie in either of its two games so

00:51 far this year against FCS, UT Morton, or last week against Ball State.

00:56 They were at least a six touchdown favorite in either of those football games.

01:00 Georgia was a lot better at covering against SEC foes last year,

01:03 though, six and three against the spread.

01:06 And we must keep an eye, Donnie, on the Texas Longhorns.

01:09 Taking on a Wyoming team this week as a 29.5 point favorite.

01:13 Of course, Wyoming got the season started in a big way against another Big 12 Texas

01:18 team, that being Texas Tech, winning in double overtime at home.

01:22 I don't think it's a cakewalk for the Longhorns.

01:25 I don't think they see a blemish on the resume like the Red Raiders did.

01:29 But in the conversation of are they, you know what the next word is,

01:35 Texas can ill afford any slip ups, Donnie,

01:37 because the last time they won a conference championship was back in 2009.

01:42 It was the last time in the regular season Texas won double digit games.

01:47 They are now on a great track to do that, having knocked off Alabama last week and

01:52 looking incredibly legitimate in doing so.

01:55 So Donnie, the Longhorns cannot look past any opponent at this point because it's

01:59 not just Big 12 title or bust for Texas, but missed the college football playoff.

02:05 Texas is expecting to be a national championship contender.

02:08 Now time for the third best price to do that at a 10 to 1 clip.
