Arkansas at (5) Florida odds
Opening line
Florida -16.5, Over/Under 60.5
Why the line moved
UPDATE 11:30 A.M. ET FRIDAY: Florida moved from -16.5 to -17.5 at PointsBet USA, but is now down to -16, with ticket count almost dead even and only 55 percent of money on the Gators. The total bounced around within a small range, from 60.5 to 62.5 to 59.5 to 61, though 85 percent of bets and 90 percent of dollars are on the Over.
UPDATE 7:30 P.M. ET FRIDAY: William Hill US nudged the Gators from -17 to -17.5 Monday afternoon, and the line stuck all week, with 58 percent of tickets and 54 percent of bets actually landing on road underdog Arkansas.
UPDATE 5 P.M. ET WEDNESDAY: The Gators moved from -16.5 to -17.5 by Monday at DraftKings, where ticket count is 2/1 and money 4/1 on the sizable home favorite. The total is up to 62.5 from 60.5, but the large majority of tickets and bets at this point are on the Under.
---
Florida, coming off a big win over Georgia, jumped a point to -17.5 early Monday afternoon at PointsBet USA. "It's very lopsided toward Florida," PointsBet's Patrick Eichner said of early ticket count and money on the spread. The total is already up two points to 62.5.
(6) Texas A&M at Tennessee odds
Opening line
Tennessee +13, Over/Under 54
Why the line moved
UPDATE 5 P.M. ET WEDNESDAY: News out of College Station, Texas, on Tuesday helped explain why this line took a big drop Monday. This game was postponed until Dec. 12, after Texas A&M had at least two players test positive for COVID-19 and others subsequently entered contact-tracing protocol.
---
This line saw significant early movement at PointsBet USA, from Texas A&M -13 to -8 by Monday afternoon, though A&M is taking the bulk of light early action. "Tickets and money about a 65/35 split toward the Aggies," PointsBet's Eichner said. The total also fell a notch from 54 to 53, likely due to Tennessee's uncertainty at quarterback, with starter Jarrett Guarantano suffering an apparent concussion in Saturday's loss at Arkansas.
(2) Notre Dame at Boston College Odds
Opening line
Boston College +13.5, Over/Under 50.5
Why the line moved
UPDATE 3:15 P.M. ET SATURDAY: Shortly before kickoff, Notre Dame is at -12.5 at FanDuel, after dropping as low as -10.5 earlier today from a high of -13.5. It's two-action to be sure, slightly leaning toward Boston College, which is getting 53 percent of tickets and 51 percent of bets. The total moved from 50.5 to 48.5 to 51.5, with ticket count almost 5/1 and money beyond 6/1 on the Over.
UPDATE NOON ET SATURDAY: The Fighting Irish moved from -12.5 to -13.5 at PointsBet USA, then dropped to -11.5 Friday afternoon, with 59 percent of bets on Notre Dame and 58 percent of money on Boston College. The total fell from 50.5 to 48.5, but is now up to 51.5. "Overwhelming amount of action on the Over in this one, with 88 percent of bets and 89 percent of handle."
UPDATE 7:30 P.M. ET FRIDAY: PointsBet USA posted Notre Dame a 12.5-point chalk and got to -13.5, but the line started trending downward this morning and is now -11.5. "It will be interesting to see which key number this line closes closer to: 10 or 14," PointsBet's Patrick Eichner said. "Definitely some reverse-line movement, with 60 percent of the bets on Notre Dame, plus 62 percent of the handle."
UPDATE 5 P.M. ET WEDNESDAY: DraftKings' initial move on this game was from Fighting Irish -13.5 to -12.5, but the line reached -14 this afternoon. That's despite Boston College landing 87 percent of early bets and 93 percent of early money on the spread. The total moved from 50.5 to 48.5 to 50, with early tickets and money more than 9/1 on the Over.
---
The Fighting Irish dipped to -12.5 shortly after FanDuel opened this game Sunday and stayed there until Monday afternoon, before returning to -13.5. Notre Dame is drawing 55 percent of early tickets, but 70 percent of early dollars are on underdog Boston College. The total fell from 50.5 to 48.5 Monday, with 77 percent of bets on the Over, but 90 percent of early cash on the Under.

UPDATE 10 A.M. ET SATURDAY: Virginia Teck moved from -2.5 to -3 in short order at BetMGM Nevada books, then went back to -2.5 for most of the week before dipping to -1.5 this morning. Tickets are running 3/1 on Miami.

UPDATE 5 P.M. ET WEDNESDAY: The home underdog Hokies moved from -1.5 to -2.5, back to -1.5 and are now -2 at DraftKings.

---

ET SATURDAY: Northwestern moved from -1 to -3 at PointsBet USA, but it's two-way action on this game, with 52 percent of bets on the Wildcats and 59 percent of money on the Boilermakers. The total bounced around a bit, from 50 to 49 to 51 to 49.5, with 62 percent of tickets on the Over and 56 percent of money on the Under.

(19) Southern Methodist at Tulsa odds
Opening line
Tulsa -1.5, Over/Under 63.5
Why the line moved
UPDATE 6:25 P.M. ET SATURDAY: FanDuel pegged Tulsa a 1.5-point favorite and moved to -2.5 early this week, but the late play has been on SMU, with the line jumping the fence to Mustangs -1.5. Southern Methodist is attracting 69 percent of bets and 56 percent of money on the spread. The total bounced from 63.5 to 64.5 to 62.5, then returned to 64.5, with ticket count 8/1 and money more than 9/1 on the Over.

---

(1) Alabama at LSU odds
Opening line
LSU +22.5, Over/Under 74.5
Why the line moved
UPDATE 10 P.M. ET TUESDAY: This afternoon, this game was postponed due to growing COVID-19 issues within LSU's program. The Southeastern Conference hopes to reschedule the game, but that will be difficult, since these teams don't have a common bye week. The SEC previously allotted Dec. 12 in the event of postponed games, but the LSU-Florida game is already in that slot, after being postponed last month.
---
Preseason, the date for this game likely had a huge red circle around it. Now, Alabama is 6-0 SU and defending national champion LSU is a meager 2-3, and the Tigers have COVID issues that could end up postponing this game. Alabama jumped up to -27.5 by Monday afternoon before FanDuel took the game off the board, due to the COVID situation. At that point, tickets were 5/1 and money more than 9/1 on the Crimson Tide.
