SEC Week 4 Predictions

Went 7-1 last week. My upset special wasn't so special. So, that puts me at 22-7 (75.9%). This week gets tougher with some team's 1st big test. Should be interesting.

Bama 30 (-9) at Arkansas 13
I think this is bad matchup for the 'Hogs. I don't think they can stop Bama. And, I don't think they'll move the ball much on the Tide either.

Florida 27 (-8) at Tennessee 20
This game is a wildcard. Sometime UT can play over their heads a bit. And other times, they look plain awful. I'll take the Gaytors. But, I don't think they'll cover the spread.

UGAy 40 (-7) at Arizona St. 20
This will show the desparity between SEC defenses and the rest of the country. They drop the Dogs in the polls because they barely beat S. Carolina. Uh, the 'Cocks D is solid. Didn't know this was a beauty contest.

Ole Miss 23 (-7) Vandy 21
I keep picking against Vandy and they keep winning. I hope I'm wrong again.

Ga Tech 20 (-8) Miss. St. 9
Sad when Ga Tech, running out of the wishbone, has a better offense than you.

S. Carolina 37 (n/a) Wofford 7
Time for Carolina to heal some wounds.

***UPSET SPECIAL***
Auburn 17 (+3) LSU 9
Maybe I should "respect" LSU more than this. But, I just can't help but think about all the talent that LSU lost from last year. Plus, they have some very, very inexperienced QBs coming into a hostile environment. I know AU has not looked crisp on offense this year. But, if we can't beat LSU this year, Auburn along with the rest of the West is in for some long years ahead. Of course, as has been our MO apparently, turnovers and penalties are an equalizer. But I'm thinking Auburn has gotten those out of their system the last 2 games. Conversely, if LSU turns it over, I think this game has a chance to get out of hand in favor of AU. Great game and great atmosphere. We're all set to go. This is what college football's all about, 2 Top 10 schools going head-to-head at night in the SEC. WDE!
