Alabama cemented their #1 status Saturday night with a dominating shut out performance at LSU.

*Auburn and Georgia met twice last year splitting the two games with Georgia winning the SEC Title at year’s end. Auburn is off an improbable come from behind victory against Texas A&M, while Georgia secured the SEC East last week at Kentucky. BetOnline.ag opened the Bulldogs -14, and we’ve seen a slight movement towards the favorite.
*Alabama, fresh off a thrashing of LSU, opened 27-point favorites over Mississippi State before we saw money come in on the underdog, dropping the line to 25.5. For some perspective, a few weeks ago Mississippi State closed +6 in Death Valley, while this past weekend the Crimson Tide closed -13.5. Will this line continue to drop?
*If Ohio State has any chance to qualify for the playoffs, they cannot afford to lose again. Last year, the Spartans were outclassed and embarrassed in Columbus, falling 48-3 as the #12 ranked team In the country. We’ve seen a significant movement here, as the road favorite Buckeyes have dipped from -5.5 to -3.5

*Two red-hot teams collide for Thursday Night Football when Carolina visits Pittsburgh. Look-ahead lines had Steelers installed 6.5-point favorites, but Sunday evening they opened slightly lower and has settled at -5.
*With Atlanta coming off an impressive road victory at Washington, the Falcons opened 4-point road favorites over the Gregg Williams-led Browns. This is a 2.5-point adjustment from the look-ahead line, which was -1.5 last week.
