Florida (-7) @ Vanderbilt
12 p.m. ET
Florida is the second-most popular bet of the weekend, getting 82% of bets and 86% of dollars wagered on the game. Despite that, the line has fallen from -8 to -7.
Why the public loves Florida: The Gators have been rolling. Since losing their opening SEC game to Kentucky — a loss that doesn't look nearly as bad now — they've reeled off four straight wins, with their two most recent victories coming against Mississippi State and LSU.
Laying only seven points against a 3-3 Vandy team makes Florida an unsurprising public favorite.
Texas A&M (-2.5) @ South Carolina
3:30 p.m. ET
The most popular bet of the week has been Texas A&M. The Aggies are drawing 86% of bettors and 89% of dollars, and have moved from -2 to -2.5 as a result.
Why the public loves A&M: Coming off a victory over a 13th-ranked Kentucky team — which beat South Carolina two weeks ago — Texas A&M has reentered the AP Top 25 at No. 22. A ranked team laying almost nothing against an unranked opponent is almost always going to have a heavy public backing.
Central Florida (-4.5) @ Memphis
3:30 p.m. ET
Believe it or not, this AAC matchup is the seventh-most heavily bet game so far this week. Eighty percent of those bets are coming on UCF, along with 82% of the money wagered, and the Knights have gone from -4 to -4.5.
Why the public loves UCF: Causal bettors know UCF as the team that didn't lose a game last year, and they can justify 4.5 points as an essential moneyline play. With the 10th-ranked Knights facing an unranked opponent, it should come as no surprise to see UCF on this list.
