Well, I decided to take last week off. Got a little burned out, kinda like the AU offense. Here's hoping they bring something to the table this week. Week 7 I went 2-3 bringing my overall record to 37-16 (70%). Not a good week to say the least. Hopefully, I can redeem myself this week...
Bama 27 (-6) at Tennessee 10
I would anticipate Bama to get off to a quick start, as usual. Then in the 2nd half, UT will be playing to make it respectable, as usual. This should fire up Phil's moving vans. He'll remain HC through the remainder of the season out of just sheer courtesy.
LSU 24 (-2) Georgia 16
Lots of off-the-field issues for Georgia again this week. From arrests to injuries, you name it, UGA has seen it all. A season that once looked very promising is starting to implode. Don't be surprised if LSU plays like gang-busters and does a number on the reeling 'Dogs.
Ole Miss 23 (-5) at Arkansas 21
Would not be surprised to see the 'Backs pull this 1 out. I just think the Rebels are the better team right now.
Vandy 27 (-10) Duke 17
I was very close to picking the Devils in this 1. Vandy is at the 5-win mark and have somehow managed to collapse every year when they're trying to become bowl-eligible. A loss by the 'Dores and it could seriously have a snowball effect for the remainder of their season.
Florida 38 (-24) Kentucky 13
I heard the other day on the radio that UK is like 0-12 in their last 12 trips to Gainseville. No reason to see that change this weekend.
Miss. St. 20 (-11) MTSU 9
The Blue Raiders could keep things interesting for at least 3 quarters in Starkville. I just believe the defense will be the difference, on both sides. MTSU will have problems putting it in the endzone and even stopping MSU's anemic offense.
***UPSET SPECIAL***
Auburn 21 (+3) at W. Virginia 19
I've seen AU face more adverse conditions than this 1, namely '02 Bama. So, I shouldn't be surprised to see a more confident team this Thursday night. Fortunately, the Tigers have had some extra time to prepare to recover from some key injuries and install a more assertive offense. The key once again for Auburn will be playing disciplined on both sides of the ball. The defense will have plenty to handle trying to stop the WVU offense. But as long as they don't give up the big play, I expect it to get difficult for the Mountaineers to score in the redzone. Also, this defense has something to prove after their lackluster performance against Arkansas. And if AU were to lose, it would be the 1st time since 2001 they've lost 3 games in a row under Tuberville.
