Thursday Predictions

Sorry I haven't updated since last Saturday, but I forgot to do it. I am going to be gone for the weekend, so I am going to go ahead and post my predictions for the weekend. It is just Thursday, and Saturday seems so far away, although it is less than two days. Here goes the Saturday Predictions:

Auburn @ Mississippi St.
Finally, an SEC game. Saturday is Step 1 towards an SEC Championship. You have to win these games to get there. We haven't seen much from the Auburn offense so far, but we could see it open up a little bit more. I don't think we will see it fully up and running until next week, but more than last week. There was lots of improvement from week 1 to week 2, and if Auburn can make the same improvement this week, they will be great. This will be, by far, the most physical team they have played this year. Anthony Dixon will, in my opinion, be stopped by this awesome Auburn Defense. Hopefully, Chris Todd will play even better than last week. I think the turnover problem that caused us to lose last year to Mississippi St, will be fixed. Personally, I don't think this game is going to be close. My pick: Auburn-31 Mississippi St.-10

Alabama vs. Western Kentucky
Should I even predict this game? This SHOULD be a blowout win for Alabama, but will they play down to their competition like they did last week? This game should be out of reach in the first quater, but I'm not sure that it will. I'm not brave enough to pick Western Kentucky, and I don't think this game will be close. My pick: Alabama-28 Western Kentucky-9

Georgia @ South Carolina
I think this game could be closer than the experts think. South Carolina played bad in the loss against Vanderbilt, but they will come out better than that this week. I think Georgia will play like, well, Georgia. My pick: Georgia-27 South Carolina-13

USC vs Ohio St
This is the big one outside of the SEC. Everyone has been talking about this game since the schedules were released. Quite frankly, I'm ready for them to shut up and talk about the SEC, but that isn't my decision. I don't think this game will be close at all. Ohio St. is highly overrated, and USC is loaded with talent. Beanie Wells is questionable. What more could go wrong for Ohio St.? Yes, they will look better than they did last week vs Ohio, but it will not translate in a "W". I think USC will win with passing and letting Joe McKnight be himself. My pick: USC-32 Ohio St.-13

All in all, I see a great weekend ahead. It will be fun, no matter what. That's all I have for today.......................WAR EAGLE!!!!!!!!!!!
