Well, I went 5-1 last week only losing my upset special. That brings my total to 49-11 (82%). Another brutal loss for my Tigers too. Got Ole Miss this week. Not sure we'll be able to pull this 1 out either. But that's why they play it on the field...
Ole Miss 28 @ Auburn 13 (+4.5)
Don't think we have anything in the tank now. Amazing how poorly we've played after starting the season 5-0. Very, very disappointing.
Florida 33 vs Georgia 20 (+14.5)
Don't see how UGA can beat UF this year. I know the Gators haven't been stellar lately. But, they are much better talent-wise than the Dawgs.
Kentucky 23 vs Miss. St. 16 (+3.5)
Tough road game for MSU. And, it looks like they're catching Kentucky when they've hit their stride. If the 'Dogs don't play well early, it could get away from them.
Ga Tech 31 @ Vandy 17 (+12)
Don't think the 'Dores will have much for the Jackets. Hang in there, Vandy!
LSU 45 vs Tulane 10
Snoozer alert!
Arkansas 40 vs E. Michigan 7 (+38)
Next!
***UPSET SPECIAL***
S. Carolina 24 @ Tennessee 20 (-6)
This is usually a pretty good game. S. Carolina is coming off a very uninspired performance at home against Vandy. And UT is coming off a heartbreaking loss to Bama. Just seems like the 'Cocks will be more focused.

SEC Week 8 Predictions
Well, that was a heartbreaker last weekend. 1st time AU has lost to UK in my lifetime! Yeah, that was special. Went 4-2 last week bringing my total to 44-10 (81%).
LSU 23 vs Auburn 22 (+8)
Heard a stat yesterday that LSU has never covered the spread at home against an SEC team under Les Miles. They're like 0-16. Anyway, I found that very surprising. And honestly, I fully expect Auburn to return to form on offense this week. I just don't know we'll score enough to pull it off 'cause our defense is atrocious. The good news is that LSU's offense is atrocious too.
Bama 28 vs Tennessee 12 (+15)
Bama is clearly the best team in the nation IMO. But maybe UT will get lucky. :)
Florida 24 @ Miss. St. 23 (+23)
We'll find out a lot about these 2 teams this week. Florida escaped at home last week (with a little help from the refs who've been suspended btw) against Arkansas. And MSU has quietly been winning some ballgames. Last time against a highly-ranked opponent, MSU came up short at the end. Not sure, but UF may be ready to drop their annual contest to a West opponent.
S. Carolina 28 vs Vandy 17 (+13)
This sets up to be the classic letdown game. USC gave all they had at Bama last week but couldn't pull it out at the end. Vandy is reeling and should play pretty loose here. Wouldn't surprise me if this game is tied at the half.
Kentucky 30 vs La Monroe 14 (+15)
Maybe a slow start for UK after the big win at AU. But, I don't see much of a contest here.
***UPSET SPECIAL***
Arkansas 33 @ Ole Miss 27 (-6)
Hard to believe the Rebs are favored in this 1, let alone by 6. The Hogs are tough. They're hitting they're stride and should've beaten the mighty Gators last week in the Swamp. As long as Mallet and their O keep putting up points, I don't believe Ole Miss can keep up with them.
LSU 23 vs Auburn 22 (+8)

SEC Week 7 Predictions
Hard to believe we're already at the halfway mark of the college football season. :( And at this point, as always, we have a pretty good idea where everyone stands in the SEC. Bama & UF are the clear-cut leaders this year. While UGA has been a disappointment, AU has been a surprise. And finally, pulling up the rear are our usual contenders, Vandy, MSU & UK. Last week I took a big hit on my predictions going 3-4. In hindsight, I should've went with the Hogs and not bet against Florida. So, that puts my overall total at 40-8 (83%).
Auburn 33 vs Kentucky 13 (+13)
AU should come out this week with a chip on their shoulder. They collectively played about as bad a game 1 team could play. UK is going with a new QB. Should bode well for AU. But, we've been known to make superstars out of 1st-time starters, ie '08 LSU.
Bama 28 vs S. Carolina 10 (+17)
I think Bama covers the spread here. Bama is good enough to make a decent team look terrible, ie Arkansas & Ole Miss.
Florida 31 vs Arkansas 30 (+24.5)
I think this could be a very dangerous game for the Gators. Coming off a big, emotional win on the road. And, the Hogs look like they're hitting their stride right now. It could be way too close for comfort for the home team.
Georgia 27 @ Vandy 23 (+7.5)
Just can't see UGA losing back-to-back on the road to teams with losing records at the time. Plus, Vandy had an inexcusable loss to Army last week. Wow, that is really sad!
Ole Miss 40 vs UAB 14 (+22)
I certainly see the Rebs getting back on track in a big way against the Blazers this week.
***UPSET SPECIAL***
MTSU 27 vs Miss. St. 24 (-4.5)
This should be an interesting game. Wonder if Franklin will put up more than the 3 he hung on the Bulldogs last year? I would certainly think so. It could go either way. But of all the SEC games on the schedule, this seems like the most likely upset.
Auburn 33 vs Kentucky 13 (+13)

SEC Week 6 Predictions
Went 6-1 last week bringing my total to 37-4 (90%). UGA was the only team to let me down. Gotta make this 1 short and sweet as well. So, here goes...
Auburn 42 @ Arkansas 31
Shootout!
Bama 38 @ Ole Miss 28
Bama needs to be focused in this 1.
UT 27 vs UGA 24
Both of these teams have a lot to work on. Going with the home team here.
Miss. St. 31 vs Houston 27
Houston is coming off a very disheartening loss to lowly UTEP. They may still be hungover in Starkville.
S. Carolina 30 vs Kentucky 21
Vandy 33 @ Army 24
C'mon Vandy, represent! Don't lose to Army now!
***UPSET SPECIAL***
LSU 27 vs Florida 26
I'm guessing Tebow won't play. And they're on the road in very hostile territory. Plus, even Miles knows how big a win this would be for their program. I think the Gators are ripe for the picking. However, Meyer has had 2 weeks to prepare and I think is the better coach. But somehow, Miles keeps on winning. Should be a very good game.
Auburn 42 @ Arkansas 31

Bama 38 @ Ole Miss 28

SEC Week 5 Predictions
Got 'em all right again last week. Guess it's feast or famine for me. That puts me at 31-3 (91%). Probably down hill from here as we get into the meat of the SEC schedule this month. Why does college football season go by so quickly every year?! :( We need a JV league in the spring or something. Btw, not much detail this week in my predictions. But from the looks of things, this could be the week for road teams.
Bama 38 @ Kentucky 14
Bama is rollin' baby! 2 cents to Mike Price. :P And, they'll roll over the 'Cats this weekend too.
UGA 33 vs LSU 31
This is a tough one. Should be a barn burner!
Arkansas 30 @ Texas A&M 28
I have no idea about TA&M. But, Arkansas is due. Btw, their schedule is brutal! Bama, TA&M, then Auburn back-to-back-to-back!
Ga Tech 24 @ Miss. St. 20
Got a feeling MSU may be hungover from last week's heartbreaker to LSU.
Ole Miss 23 @ Vandy 19
Watch out here, Ole Mrs.! If the Rebs lose this one, it's all downhill from here.
S. Carolina 50 vs S. Carolina St. 10
Yeah, ok. Next!
***UPSET SPECIAL***
Auburn 27 @ Tennessee 21
At this point, I think Auburn is the better team. But, UT will bring it physically. And, I believe they'll throw some wrinkles in their offense, ie wildcat. But, I don't think they'll have enough O to keep up with Auburn. Still sounds weird saying that. :) The key IMO is Auburn's defense of the UT ground game. If Auburn cannot stop their rushing attack, it may be a long night for the Tigers.
Bama 38 @ Kentucky 14
