SEC Picks Of The Week

What a week we have ahead of us in the SEC. 11 of the 12 teams in the SEC will be in action this week. I am going to start with my SEC game of the week.

My game of the week is of course #18 Auburn @ #10 Georgia: This is gonna be a great game in Athens. The away team has won a majority of the games in the Deep South's Oldest Rivalry, and I don't think it will be any different this week. The Auburn starters only played for one quater in last weeks win over Tennessee Tech, so I look for them to be good and rested for the game. As I mentioned yesterday, I think Auburn will look to stop the run early and I think the Offense will look to expose the Georgia secondary. I pick Auburn to win this one 24-14.

#22 Alabama @ Mississippi St.: IT'S JUST MISSISSIPPI ST.!!!!!! That is all I have heard all week. This Mississippi St. team is a pretty good team. They have went into Jordan-Hare and beaten Auburn, and they have beaten Kentucky, who beat LSU. Alabama is coming off an emmotionally draining game vs. LSU. Miss. St's defense is pretty good. I think Mississippi St. will come in and just try to control the ball and just pound it right at Alabama. This one is a tuff one to pick, but I am going to go with Mississippi St to pull the upset over Alabama 17-13.

Arkansas @ #24 Tennessee: This is gonna be a great game. McFadden is coming off a record setting performance against South Carolina. I look for Arkansas to squek out a win 27-24.

#25 Kentucky @ Vanderbilt: This is an easy pick for me. I pick Kentucky to win 41-13.

#15 Florida @ South Carolina: This game has the potential to be a very good one. The Ol' Ball Coach vs. his old team. South Carolina would've knocked Florida out of the National Title game last year if it wasn't for a blocked field goal as time expired. I think it will be as close as last year with the same outcome. I pick Florida 26-24.

where you are right-- where you're wrong--- Auburn- Ga score looks about right- wouldn't be shocked if it was lower scoring tho.

I have a gut feeling Alabama Squeaks one out- but I'm almost ashamed to say it lol-- wouldn't be shocked either way I say the final score is 24-24 and Alabama wins in OT

I think TN beats Arky b-c TN has a decent run defense but no secondary--- since all Arky can do is run- it works, TN 38-30

No way Kentucky wins that big--- try 34-23 Kentucky

Florida wins by two touchdowns 31-17

Well I woke up this morning and got a strong feeling that Arkansas was gonna win so I change my prediction-- same score, different winner

Just realized how close you were on the Alabama game. Cool. Wish your prediction was closer for Auburn though.
