SEC Week 2 Predictions

Well, I got off to a good start last week going 12-0 in my picks. I certainly don't expect that to hold up though. Several teams start SEC play this week and we all know how unpredictable the SEC can be. But, here goes...


Auburn 24 vs MSU 14 (+14)
Well the offense certainly looked promising last week. However, I don't expect MSU to drop off so much in the 2nd half. Wouldn't be surprised if it's still tight in the 4th.


Bama 41 vs Florida Int'l 9(+34)
Don't be surprised if Bama doesn't cover the spread here. Not that FIU is any good at all. But, Saban likes to use these games to "teach" his team a lesson. Might as well not even watch this one. It'll resemble Aday.


Georgia 16 vs S. Carolina 13 (+7)
Both teams stumbled out of the gates last week. But, I think it's Georgia who has the most talent of the 2. Maybe not at QB, but UGA should have enough to outlast Spurrier's team at home. Look for UGA to establish the running game and win ugly.

Florida 49 vs Troy 10 (+37)
Man, poor Troy. Maybe we're all wrong. But, this has every reason to be a blowout.


LSU 38 vs Vandy 20 (+14)
Vandy put up some points last week. Maybe they'll do it some more this week. However, I don't see them stopping the LSU running game. Might be a little too tight for a half. But, LSU should be too physical for the 'Dores to hold up.


Ole Miss 55 vs SE Louisiana 7 (N/A)
Look for the Rebs to work out a few kinks in their offense this week. Nothing to see here. Carry on.


***UPSET SPECIAL***
UCLA 24 @ Tennessee 23 (-10)
This might be a lot tighter than many people think. Neuheisel is a decent coach. Jury's still out on the Kiffen gang. Maybe UT is a lot better than I think. They did manhandle a much inferior WKU team last week. But with UF up next on their schedule, I would not be surprised if UCLA caught UT looking ahead.
