Missouri vs Georgia | Saturday, Nov. 14, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. ET | Sanford Stadium, Athens, GA | ABC
Georgia is 8-1 and has been dominant since its October loss to Auburn, outscoring Florida and Ole Miss 69-15. Missouri is 6-3 after a 34-20 home loss to Texas. The Bulldogs are two-touchdown favorites.
Texas vs LSU | Saturday, Nov. 14, 2026 at 7:30 p.m. ET | Tiger Stadium, Baton Rouge, LA | ABC
Texas is 7-2 and riding a three-game winning streak that includes wins over Ole Miss and Missouri. LSU is 6-3 under first-year coach Lane Kiffin and looking to rebound from a 31-13 home loss to Alabama.

| LSU | -185 | -4.5 | U 45.5 |
The Pick: Texas Moneyline (+150)
First Bet Cover is built for a swing like this. Texas is playing better than LSU right now, owns more quality wins and has already proven it can win on the road against good teams. LSU’s offense stalled badly against Alabama, and a Texas defense coordinated by Will Muschamp is built to create the same problems. Getting plus money on the hotter team is the best value on today’s board.
Bet $100 on the Longhorns to win outright and you collect $250 if they get it done. If LSU holds serve at home, BetMGM refunds your $100 in bonus bets.
Why Not Georgia?
The Bulldogs will probably win, but at -735, there’s little value in backing them straight up. If you want a piece of the afternoon game, the points with Missouri or the Under are better ways to play it.
Two ranked SEC showdowns and a plus-money underdog worth backing. New users can cover their first college football bet up to $1,500 with BetMGM bonus code FOXNEWS.
