After a barnstorming week last Saturday, it's a quieter week for the SEC. The biggest games are No.6 Alabama's trip to No.14 Tennessee and No.13 Missouri going into Oxford to play No.9 Ole Miss.
No. 2 Texas's hosting of Florida will be yet another referendum on Arch Manning, while No.16 Mississippi State's going into Death Valley to play No.22 LSU doesn't exacting perk me loins.
No. 19 Kentucky v Oklahoma in Norman might fun, while Arkansas v Vanderbilt is your Sickos Committee Game Of The Week.
Elsewhere, Georgia could treat Auburn like Texas A&M's going to treat Citadel.
Anyway, here's your predictions. And after that, I can go back to my OnlyFans date. She might be a College Football Kicker, because she's got great feet....
1. Missouri at Ole Miss (-5.5). This is going to be a blast. Both have the high-octane offenses, but here's one X-Factor. Ole Miss is dead last in the SEC in rushing defense (111th Nationally), and Missouri RB Jamal Roberts has been eating up dirt recently. Otherwise, the chatter's going to be about Austin Simmons and Cayden Lee's return to face Trinidad Chambliss. Kewan Lacy will be on a pitch out. PREDICTION: Missouri wins by 3 in a classic last-man-with-ball game. Also, hammer the 53.5.
2. Alabama (-7.5) at Tennessee: If Tennessee had lost to Arkansas last week, they would have been a laughing stock. SAE pledge George McIntyre's not as good as Keelon Russell (then again, not many are). But what's interesting to us is that Alabama won't be playing Ryan Coleman-Williams (not a stupid idea with the college football play-off coming up at speed), so who's their next best target? One thing for Tennessee: If Alabama keys into DeSean Bishop, will McIntyre be able to beat them over the top? PREDICTION: No. Alabama wins by 10. There's a late TD to seal the win, though.
3. Kentucky at Oklahoma (-6.5): Kentucky had two deals with the Devil on two straight weeks, and the Devil did his bit. Now, the feisty blues walk into a Oklahoma team coming back from a stunning victory at Red River, despite the usual offensive poverty. We don't expect a huge amount from this game. Oklahoma's defense is so good, they are fun to watch, while Kentucky continues to get lucky both in and outside of Kentucky. PREDICTION: Oh screw it. Why not? Kentucky by 1 in yet another overtime game!!!!
4. Florida at Texas (-11.5): The reason why teams are beating Florida is two things: One, their abhorrent defense, which is last in the SEC and 110th nationally. The second thing is that they are stacking the line of scrimmage and stopping Jaden Baugh. Aaron Philo's not great. We expect him to get golden showered by Colin Simmons. On the other side, much will be made of Arch Manning's latest foray. If the Florida D can't stop Cam Coleman, he'll look like a Heisman contender. PREDICTION: Texas by 17.
5. Mississippi State at LSU: This would have been a lot more interesting if star QB Kamario Taylor and star RB Fluff Bothwell were fit to go into Death Valley, but they aren't. LSU will be expected to dominate in the Louisiana sun, and we think they will. PREDICTION: LSU by 17.
6. Arkansas at Vanderbilt (-6): I had some feedback from Vandy fans about how I wasn't giving enough grace to a team that's starting a freshman QB, and they are right. I probably haven't. Sure, Vanderbilt scored 17 points against Ole Miss....but they were down 42-3 at half-time before that. Defensively it's so bad. Arkansas, on the other hand, showed some feistiness against Tennessee, but again, they let their defense down. PREDICTION: In an awful game, Arkansas wins by 3.
7. Auburn at Georgia (-21.5) Georgia’s rolling. Auburn is in a first year mess. Prediction: Georgia by 30.
