TST Best Bets: November 7, 2026

With another Saturday comes another chance for college football to turn this season upside down.

TST Best Bets: November 7, 2026

On October 24, 2026, Lexington, Kentucky, USA, the Kentucky Wildcats running back Jovantae Barnes (2) scored another touchdown during the fourth quarter against the Vanderbilt Commodores at Kroger Field. As another Saturday approached, college football enthusiasts anticipated the chaos that often unfolds in the SEC. Four ranked matchups were set to headline the weekend schedule, including the Alabama-LSU, Kentucky-Tennessee, Georgia-Ole Miss, and Texas-Missouri games.

For all your college football betting picks, the TST Best Bets were available, provided by BetOnline Sports & Casino. New players received a 50% welcome bonus and up to $250 in free bets. The first pick was Kentucky +5.5 over Tennessee. The market had yet to fully recognize Kentucky's seven-spot higher ranking, as the Wildcats had been winning and covering six straight games.

Despite being treated as a sizable underdog against Tennessee, the Wildcats had consistently scored and were favored to keep the game close with +5.5 points.

The second pick was LSU -6 over Alabama. The lower-ranked LSU team was favored with points, but the writer decided to take Alabama instead. LSU had been more consistent offensively, averaging 40 points per game, while Alabama had shown vulnerability against strong defenses this season. The Tigers struggled to score at home, allowing just nine points per game. Overall, LSU had enough strengths on both sides of the ball to potentially win by a touchdown against Alabama.
