Here is why I noted it as an SEC home game
I do understand that Vegas and MBS in Atlanta are neutral site games, this is not my first college football rodeo.
Here is what is important, as they are ALL listed as SEC home games, it means ABC gets to call it "The SEC on ABC". You will see that branding everywhere. It does not matter that the game is the Chick-Fil-A game or some game in Vegas designed to separate football fans from their cash in the casinos.
From the SEC website:
Q: What is the biggest benefit fans will see from this new agreement?
A: Maximized exposure for the most anticipated matchups and an enhanced scheduling arrangement, which includes more game windows locked in prior to the start of the season. In mid-June of each year, start windows (either noon-1 p.m., 3:30-4:30 p.m., 3:30-8 p.m. or 6-8 p.m.) will be announced for all conference-controlled football matchups for the upcoming season, which means fans can plan travel for their fall Saturdays in advance.
Q: How many times will the SEC appear on ABC Saturday Night Football?
A: No specific number each year. We are thrilled to add SEC games to ABC Saturday Night Football and expect SEC games to be a meaningful part of the franchise throughout the season.
