SEC Week 1 Predictions

Auburn 24 vs La Tech 17 (+13)
If we can't score more than 20 points against La Tech, look for this to be another long season. La Tech is not a bad team. In fact, opening with them is scary. However, a good SEC team should have no problem with these 'Dogs.

Bama 20 vs Va Tech 10 (+6.5)
Yeah, Bama will be ready. Maybe Va Tech will surprise me. But, I'm actually being a bit generous giving them 10 points. Bama's D should not disappoint. Their offense is what will be interesting.

Oklahoma St. 23 vs Georgia 21 (+5)
Tough way to open the season for the pups. UGA lost a ton from last year's offense. On the road, playing against a good team on opening day is a tall order to start the season. I'm thinking UGA will keep it close, but the 'Boys will hold them off.

LSU 27 @ Washington 10 (+17)
Washington, even at home, does not have a lot coming back from a terrible team a year ago. Look for LSU to pull out the stops in this cross-country battle to impress the voters.

Tennessee 31 vs W. Kentucky 6 (+29.5)
This is the early SEC TV game. Yuck!

Florida 55 vs Charleston Southern 7 (N/A)
Okie-Dokie!

Arkansas 42 vs Missouri St. 9 (N/A)
Yawn!

Kentucky 28 vs Miami (OH) 14 (+15)
I have no idea on this one really. Just gotta believe a decent SEC team should win comfortably.

Ole Miss 30 @ Memphis 13 (+16.5)
The 'Rebs will flex their muscle in this one. But don't be fooled. Memphis is not what I consider a powerhouse.

Vandy 27 vs W. Carolina 10 (N/A)
Oh please Vandy. Don't blow this one!

Miss. St. 30 vs Jackson St. 9 (N/A)
Good way for MSU to open their season with a new coaching staff and offensive philosophy.

Good start to the Chizik era! I expected a closer game, but maybe I was giving La Tech too much credit. The offensive play calling didn't seem dramatically different from last year, but I like the way Malzahn runs the show. We actually looked efficient and didn't have the confusion we had last year. Todd was better than expected too. And I think we've definitely got our new big time tailback now. I'm cautiously optimistic for the rest of the season, but a lot of that will hinge on how healthy we stay. Mississippi St. should be a good game next week.
