SEC Week 12 Review & Week 13 Predictions

Looks like Bama will be in the headlines for the 2nd straight week this week. Last week was their epic loss to LaMonroe they'd like to forget. And of course, this week is Iron Bowl week. Hard to believe another season is ending. Let's just hope Auburn can take something positive into next year with their 6th straight in the series. After last week, I'm 67-20 on the year (77%). On with Week 13...

LSU 35 vs Arkansas 20
This may be a bit too close for the home team in the beginning. But, look for LSU to pull away in the 2nd half.

Miss St. 27 vs Ole Siss 20
MSU is guaranteed a bowl game with a win in the annual Egg Bowl. Man, what a job Croom has done!

Florida 28 vs FSU 17
Giving the Gaytors the edge at home.

Kentucky 33 at Tennessee 28
This should be a shootout. Not much defense in this game. The Vols have a lot on the line with a trip to Atlanta at stake. Hope Fulmer wins so he can continue to lead the Vols into mediocrity for years to come. But, I think UK will give UT what they've had coming, a heartbreaker.

Wake Forest 21 at Vandy 20
The 'Dores come up short again for a bowl bid. Poor Vandy.

UGAy 24 at Ga Tech 20
Always a close game. The Dogs still have a shot at the Sugar with this win. Go Rambling Wreck!

Clemson 30 at S. Carolina 20
Not much defense for Carolina to slow down these Tigers. Eventually, the 'Cocks will wear out.

***UPSET (not so) SPECIAL***
Crimson Turds 22 at Auburn 20
I hate making this pick. But, it's hard to get a feel of either team this year. Auburn has been notorious for slipping up when the door is waiting to be slammed shut. And, they could slam the door on Bama's season by giving them their 6th loss. Then, a bowl game would be doubtful for the Tide. But after Bama's debacle last week, I don't see a repeat performance. Auburn should be as healthy as they've been all year after a bye week. I just see them playing tight. This game will define Cox's career IMO. Win, and he leaves on a positive note with some impressive wins under his belt. Lose, and his career will be marred with inconsistency. Should be another nail-biter and could go either way. Hope I'm wrong. I have been quite a bit with AU this year. ;-)
WDE!
