SEC Week 3 Predictions

Well, I got 'em all right last week too. Can't recall that ever happening before. Oh, and Auburn's 2-0! Can't recall...j/k. But, it's been 3 years! Anyway, hope the trend continues this week, at least for the Tigers. War Eagle!

Bama 41 vs N. Texas 10 (+38)
The Mean Green will not intimidate the Tide whatsoever. Will we get to see another Saban tantrum? I hope so. *giggles*

Florida 99 vs Tennessee 3 (+30)
Yeah, exaggerated a little on the score. But, I see this being a blowout of epic proportions. When you couple the degrading comments Kiffin made in the preseason about UF's recruiting tactics with Urban's gargantuan ego, and you've got revenge of the highest order about to unfold. If you think Spurrier used to run up the score, wait 'til you see this!

Arkansas 31 vs Georgia 27 (+1.5)
Not sure what happened to UGA's D last week. However, Spurrier has a habit of finding your weakness, over and over. I have a lot of respect for Petrino, the coach. I think he's Spurrier reincarnated. ;) And with this UGA team, I wouldn't be surprised if it's a wider margin of victory for the Hawgs.


Kentucky 33 vs Louisville 14 (+14)
Wow, look how far the Cards have fallen since Petrino left! An embarrassing loss to their in-state rival may put the cap on UL's coaching tenure. Wonder if Tuberville would be interested in this job? Talk about irony!


Vanderbilt 28 vs Miss. St. 20 (+9)
Vandy should continue to impress with these limping Dawgs coming to town this week. The 'Dores actually have a decent offense. MSU's is not there yet.


Ole Miss 55 vs SE Louisiana 7 (N/A)
Ok. So, I picked this game last week. Still the same story: look for the Rebs to work out a few kinks in their offense this week. Nothing to see here. Carry on.


LSU 31 vs UL Lafayette 10 (+27)
Lafayette may have the 2nd best team in Louisiana this year. Unfortunately, as usual, there is a lot of separation between 1 & 2. This could be uncomfortably close for a half. Then, depth should put LSU over the top in the 2nd half.


S. Carolina 27 vs Fla Atlantic 9 (+21)
Steve's 'Cocks may be a bit hungover from last week's loss to UGA. Shouldn't matter much though.


***UPSET SPECIAL***
W. Virginia 34 @ Auburn 33 (-7.5)
Yeah, this was not easy. I certainly wouldn't place a bet on this pick. But of all the games this week, this has the most potential for an upset. I sure hope I'm wrong. If Auburn can't slow down the WVU running game or if Todd has a bad game, I could see this going sour for the Tigers. A lot on the line here for AU. Lots of recruits in town and a nationally televised night game at home. I sure hope this new coaching staff turns the corner in a big way Sat. night. I've just got a feeling, maybe conditioned so the past couple years, that losing a primetime out-of-conference game is likely. I think that which team is able to stop the other's running game, will win. I hope the AU 'D' rises to the occasion! WDE!

Did you have on your Crimson when you made that pick. Just think, you had a shot at being 100% correct for three weeks. Too bad loser.

Yeah, well you're the loser, loser! Ha! Yeah, one way or the other, I win. Wouldn't put money on it. But, I don't bet with my heart either. Again, hope I'm wrong. WDE!
