How SEC QB competitions impact gambling outlook

Most SEC football programs exited summer embroiled in quarterback competitions but how do they impact each school's outlook?

From a gambling standpoint, it's unlikely that any of the competitions are worth more than 3.5 points against the spread.

Heisman Trophy-caliber running backs sometimes are worth less than a field goal. Especially if the team features an impressive offensive line.

A half-dozen SEC players are worth more in Vegas. They probably are, in order: Missouri QB Drew Lock, Auburn QB Jarrett Stidham, Vanderbilt QB Kyle Shurmur, South Carolina QB Jake Bentley, Ole Miss QB Jordan Ta'amu and Mississippi State's Nick Fitzgerald.
