Which SEC Schools Offer The Best Overall Betting Experience?

The opening weekend of the 2024 college football season was a good one for fans of the Tennessee Volunteers, who dispatched FCS program Chattanooga, 69-3, inside the hallowed grounds of Neyland Stadium on Saturday.

Now, Josh Heupel’s team enters Week 2 of the regular season looking to earn a victory in the first real test of UT’s strength, with a neutral site clash against 24th ranked NC State in Charlotte this weekend.

While Bet365 Tennessee currently lists the Vols’ as an eight-point favorite over the Wolfpack, with a -310 moneyline for the SEC stalwart (to +250 for the visitors from Raleigh).

Heading into week two of college football, BetTennessee.com wanted to see what SEC team offers the best betting experience. We factored in 2023 record, the status of legal betting on college football in the state, strength of schedule for this season, and AP polls heading into week two. Tennessee sports betting makes our list.
