Slowly recovering from AU's Jekyll-and-Hyde performance at WVU. All 3 phases (offense, defense, and special teams) have been inconsistent for the Tigers this year. Thus, losses have become plentiful. Not only is my team performing poorly, my picks have become abysmal. Last week I continued the trend to go 4-3 bringing my total record for the year heading into November down to 41-19 (68%). I'm hoping both my picks and AU get things going this week.
Florida 35 (-6) Georgia 24
The 'Dogs looked strong last week. But, they'll have all they can handle with the Gators. UF lost last year when Richt had his team dance YMCA in the endzone. Urban usually has his team ready for the big game. Wouldn't doubt if the Gators came out to a quick start.
Ole Miss 27 (-6) Auburn 17
Not much confidence in the defense at this point. And I'm afraid both the Rebels and their fans will be ready when the Tigers come to town. I don't look for AU to get things on track this week.
Alabama 40 (-23) Arkansas St. 10
I don't look for the Red Wolves to provide much opposition for the Tide. Bama will have it in cruise control headed into the showdown in Baton Rouge next week.
Tulsa 34 (-7) at Arkansas 30
Should be a good game in Fayetteville. The undefeated Hurricanes should be up to the task knowing the pollsters will be watching.
S. Carolina 24 (-6) Tennessee 13
Fulmer's farewell tour continues in Columbia. UT has consistently out-recruited Carolina over the years. And despite this, the 'Cocks win with relative ease. Superior coaching is the difference.
LSU 33 (-26) Tulane 9
Bad timing for the Green Wave. Not that good timing would help much. But, these will be an angry bunch of kitties after getting throttled at home last week. Once the game is in hand, expect LSU to let off the gas with the Turds coming to town next week.
***UPSET SPECIAL***
Kentucky 13 (+3) at Miss. St. 10
Both teams have been stuck in a rut lately. Even though they're playing at home, there's not much fight left in these 'Dogs. If UK scores 1st, MSU will need some breaks. A win all but sows up a bowl berth for the 'Cats. Good coaching usually gets it done. Hence, the edge to UK.
