- Tennessee vs Georgia Under 44.5
- Florida vs A&M Over 59
- Alabama -24 vs Ole Miss
- Mississippi St vs Kentucky Over 59.5

These are my four picks for this week. Curious to see if the rant thinks I made good bets or not. I think weather will play a big part in a lot of these games this week.

I don't disagree with this b/c the weather will inhibit passing from two already mediocre QBs and both teams will have to rush through strong defensive trenches

I say 2-2.

Gonna be hard for Florida to score 60+ (yes, I meant that).

Also, I think the weather screws you in the Kentucky game. State may struggle in the rain.

Very good point, it's saying about 40% chance of rain at game time.

Forecast is calling for rain here in Lexington tomorrow. Id hold off on that until tomorrow afternoon.

Leach will throw the damn ball regardless but Stoops will absolutely run the hell out of it and try to control TOP in the rain. Kinda his MO anyway, but on a clear night he knows hell have to toss it around some to keep up with Leach. At least....I think he knows that...

First two I like

Second two I dont. Kentucky will do exactly what Arky did. Low scoring affair. Ole Miss will score on Bama enough to cover.

This is the one I'm most worried about. I do think Bama covers at -24 unless they just put in their 3rd string or something.

I mean obviously Bama is Bama, but Ole Miss can put up some points. Think they can at least cover back door with Corral.

You are basically asking if UGA can get to 35.

The answer to that depends upon the pace of play.

The 2nd half of UGA vs Auburn, both offenses bled the clock by keeping it on the ground or underneath. Even if UGAs offense was perfect, we would only have scored 14 points because there weren't enough drives to be had.

I'm reading that Tennessee is going to be disciplined to the run game (even if it isn't working).

That alone makes me think that the game wont have enough scoring opportunities for UGA to get 35. Once we get a lead, we arent going to be saving the clock on offense either.

2 bad takes. Kentucky doesn't have a good enough defense to hold state down. Rain is their only chance. No Rain, state cruises by 10+.

Alabama will destroy Ole Miss. They will cover.

I hate betting Hogs, but I wish I got on that opening 17 line.

No, just 21. Vols can get the other 24.

Maurer's had a tough go at things, if you didn't hear some of that news from last December to May. He may be a little too mentally unstable in the eye of Pruitt and Chaney to pencil him in as a definitive backup for Gitmo.

I wanted them to put Shrout in during the USCjr game when Gitmo was flailing around like an invalid on 3rd down, but in hindsight the better game plan could have been to be consistent with the QB

You probably didnt realize that UGA single handedly covered the Over last Saturday.

I was studying up on the history and evolving saga of the United States education system.

Did you know that it is not an accident that the Tennessee colors match the exact same colors of the short school bus?

You probably rode that bus all of those years and never understood why you loved the VoLLLLs so much.

Anyway, I dont ask questions like why or how you could be more wrong about the game on Saturday. The short bus holds no secrets.
