SEC Week 9 Predictions

Well, I went 5-1 last week only losing my upset special. That brings my total to 49-11 (82%). Another brutal loss for my Tigers too. Got Ole Miss this week. Not sure we'll be able to pull this 1 out either. But that's why they play it on the field...

Ole Miss 28 @ Auburn 13 (+4.5)
Don't think we have anything in the tank now. Amazing how poorly we've played after starting the season 5-0. Very, very disappointing.

Florida 33 vs Georgia 20 (+14.5)
Don't see how UGA can beat UF this year. I know the Gators haven't been stellar lately. But, they are much better talent-wise than the Dawgs.

Kentucky 23 vs Miss. St. 16 (+3.5)
Tough road game for MSU. And, it looks like they're catching Kentucky when they've hit their stride. If the 'Dogs don't play well early, it could get away from them.

Ga Tech 31 @ Vandy 17 (+12)
Don't think the 'Dores will have much for the Jackets. Hang in there, Vandy!

LSU 45 vs Tulane 10
Snoozer alert!

Arkansas 40 vs E. Michigan 7 (+38)
Next!

***UPSET SPECIAL***
S. Carolina 24 @ Tennessee 20 (-6)
This is usually a pretty good game. S. Carolina is coming off a very uninspired performance at home against Vandy. And UT is coming off a heartbreaking loss to Bama. Just seems like the 'Cocks will be more focused.

SEC Week 8 Predictions

Well, that was a heartbreaker last weekend. 1st time AU has lost to UK in my lifetime! Yeah, that was special. Went 4-2 last week bringing my total to 44-10 (81%).


LSU 23 vs Auburn 22 (+8)
Heard a stat yesterday that LSU has never covered the spread at home against an SEC team under Les Miles. They're like 0-16. Anyway, I found that very surprising. And honestly, I fully expect Auburn to return to form on offense this week. I just don't know we'll score enough to pull it off 'cause our defense is atrocious. The good news is that LSU's offense is atrocious too.


Bama 28 vs Tennessee 12 (+15)
Bama is clearly the best team in the nation IMO. But maybe UT will get lucky. :)


Florida 24 @ Miss. St. 23 (+23)
We'll find out a lot about these 2 teams this week. Florida escaped at home last week (with a little help from the refs who've been suspended btw) against Arkansas. And MSU has quietly been winning some ballgames. Last time against a highly-ranked opponent, MSU came up short at the end. Not sure, but UF may be ready to drop their annual contest to a West opponent.


S. Carolina 28 vs Vandy 17 (+13)
This sets up to be the classic letdown game. USC gave all they had at Bama last week but couldn't pull it out at the end. Vandy is reeling and should play pretty loose here. Wouldn't surprise me if this game is tied at the half.


Kentucky 30 vs La Monroe 14 (+15)
Maybe a slow start for UK after the big win at AU. But, I don't see much of a contest here.


***UPSET SPECIAL***
Arkansas 33 @ Ole Miss 27 (-6)
Hard to believe the Rebs are favored in this 1, let alone by 6. The Hogs are tough. They're hitting they're stride and should've beaten the mighty Gators last week in the Swamp. As long as Mallet and their O keep putting up points, I don't believe Ole Miss can keep up with them.
