Finally, October is over! It was another horrendous week for us. Tennessee football was the only reason we weren’t awful, as we got everything about their matchup with the Kentucky Wildcats right. However, the week as a whole pushed us into the negative on the moneyline and right at 50 percent on spread bets when we need 52 percent.

Week 9 performance (29.4% on spread and over/under)

  • Spread: 3-4
  • Over/Under: 3-4
  • Moneyline: -45.4% (Lost $317.88 if $100 bet on every game)

Overall performance for the year (50% on spread and over/under)

  • Spread: 45-50-1
  • Over/Under: 49-44-3
  • Moneyline: -2.6% (Lost $235.50 if $100 bet on every game)

So how do we follow that up? Well, we’ve got to bet the Game of the Century of course. All but one SEC team is back in action this week, and they all play each other except for one game. Then there are two non-conference games involving top 25 teams in the ACC and Big 12.

That gives us nine games to predict. Obviously, the headliner is Tennessee football once again this week, as the Vols have probably the biggest regular season matchup in the history of their program. As usual, we’ll predict the games in the order they are scheduled and then close with UT, so here are our SEC and top 25 picks and bets for Week 10 of 2022.

A historic game between Tennessee football and the Georgia Bulldogs leads our Week 10 Volunteers, Southeastern Conference and top 25 gambling predictions.

Here are two teams that probably feel wildly different about where they are. The Florida Gators are .500 in their first year under Billy Napier and coming off a loss to the Georgia Bulldogs. However, recruiting is going well for them right now, and they have shown promise, so there is no panic right now.

On the other side, the Texas A&M Aggies are a disaster. Losing to the Ole Miss Rebels last week has really put Jimbo Fisher in trouble, and they can’t sell recruiting like they could last year. Probably only one of these teams has a shot at a bowl, making this game crucial.

Prediction

Losing to Ole Miss, the type of game they usually win with their backs against the wall, has probably wrecked A&M’s psyche. Florida’s only true road test all year was Tennessee football, and they kept it close for a while. Add in A&M’s injuries and Florida’s ability to run, and the Gators pull off the upset here on the ground, which results in the game hitting the under.

Florida: 27 Texas A&M: 24 (Florida +3; Under 56)
