I bolded my predictions if that's all you wanna read.

Sup everyone. Ehh...how about this past weekend's games y'all?? Crazy stuff.....right? Ha hah...anyways, right now I am currently 5-5 on my predictions, Week 5 being a disaster. So this all says that if I was a gambler that I'd be in some trouble right now, but thank goodness I only do these for fun, right? I've done a thread for Weeks 4, 5, and now here's 6! This week's much calmer than last week with SEC matchups, but we still have some good ones here. As always, these picks of mine may be out there and they may be pretty much terrible. If you feel that way, instead of just telling me they're bad, let me know what you think and school me a little on your teams and any others. I'd like to learn more about every team if there's something to be learned. With that disclaimer out of the way, here are my picks for Week 6!

#7 LSU @ South Carolina.
49-14, LSU wins by a landslide.

I know some people have told me that this prediction is a little too much and it'll be much closer than this, but I just don't want to get my hopes up for a closer game when it just doesn't sound too practical to expect it at this point. Our offense is the worst it's ever been in recent times and our defense is still trying to get in there and make some magic. We're going to need more than a solid Special Teams to win such an important football game. I'm not that educated on all things LSU, but I know they've been in pretty good shape in their games so far and they have a monster in their Running Back. I think we'll be lucky to even come close to hanging with this team here, because they look like a really solid one. #DestructionIsComing

#19 Georgia @ Tennessee.
34-17, Georgia gets back on track.

Well, this is a battle between two teams who's hearts were broken a bit last week. What could go wrong? Well, let's start with the pluses for Tennessee. Well, at least they have 'em at home..if Tennessee fans haven't run for the hills yet. Yeah yeah of course I know true fans will show up no matter what, just making a cheap little joke, it's all you have when you're a Gamecock fan right now (There, I burned myself so you don't have to). Tennessee's defense I believe will be able to hold Georgia from scoring the type of points they did against us, but I have no doubts in my mind that Georgia won't be too effected by it in the long run. Tennessee's offense struggles this game and they can only get about halfway to Georgia's score. Not an entirely ugly score, unless you're Tennessee I guess.

Arkansas @ #8 Alabama.
41-10, Alabama strides by.

I think this is the point in Alabama's season where they need to show everybody that one loss doesn't defeat them as a team for the rest of the season. Through it all, Alabama's still Alabama and anybody who forgets that is simply insane. I think Bama's going to get back to scoring big again and keep control of their offense. Arkansas isn't going to be able to keep up. They've got a solid defense, but it just isn't up to speed with an offense like Alabama's. One of Alabama's biggest weakness I believe is turnovers and it's going to be crucial that they don't slip up with them for this game. If they do, this game's going to be much closer than this. Arkansas may not be able to keep up, but if you give them the ball enough, they're going to do something eventually. Also, Bama's at home. Think this is a solid win if they stay focused.

#11 Florida @ Missouri.
38-21, Florida makes another statement.

Right now, I'm actually a little excited seeing Florida ranked so high again. I've kinda missed seeing them be considered a threat. Like 'em or hate 'em, throwing another team like Florida in the talks for the SEC Championship game just makes the discussion much more interesting. Their coaches have done a fine job so far keeping everything in control. Florida last week showed that they aren't intimidated by Ole Miss, and this week I think they're going to make it known that they are true contenders for the East by beating the former East champion. What better way to put your team in the middle of conversation? Florida may be back guys, who knows anymore?? That being said, I also think that Missouri has found themselves a good star in their true freshman QB, so I think this game will be a bit closer than I originally expected, Missou's offense not slacking much but I think Florida will take it all with an overall comfortable win.

If Nunez keeps serving up the ball to everyone on the D like he did @ Mizzou, he won't have to

That said, I think it'll be a pretty tight game, LSU scores late to make it look worse than it really was

This pretty much. That and I think LSU's offense could stomp us pretty well with everyone, not just Fournette although this will probably be one of Fournette's Heisman nights if the defense doesn't somewhat step up.

You're a little extreme on the predictions, 14pt+ blowouts in all 4 games? That just doesn't happen that often. Most teams aren't as good or bad as you think they are. No team in the SEC this season has a shutdown defense and a quick scoring "TD every time" offense.

Coker is still getting settled and Arkansas plays ball control. It will be more like 24-10

Yeah, I guess I just figured that these matchups are a little lopsided, but you are probably right though.

LSU/USCe will be closer than that. Not a blowout

So you expect the Mizzou Florida game to be much closer than expected, the point spread is 4 points, and you have Florida winning by 17? SMH.

Closer than I expected. I'll correct that now. I was not aware of the point spread.

Honestly I feel like they're going to do exactly what Georgia did to us.

30-14 LSU: not a blowout but the outcome is never in doubt
34-27 Georgia: Richt tries to Richt but can't because Butch
24-13 Bama: Bert won't have much to eat against Bama's D
20-3 Florida: One of UF's scores is defensive. Ugly game.

LSU will jump all over USCe. It will get ugly early. I think USC gets a couple of scores from Nunez in garbage time to make the score look closer than the game is. 42-21 LSU.

UGA vs UT will be an interesting game if UT hasn't checked out. UGA just got blown out at home in their biggest game of the year and now they have to go to Knoxville. UT is much more talented than their record and eventually Butch is gonna not blow a game. I have a 31-28 UT upset.

Alabama is going to destroy Arkansas. Arky is very similar to UGA and that is a perfect matchup for Alabama's front 7. This one gets ugly. 38-3 Bama.

I haven't seen Lock play for Mizzou, but I have to think he will make mistakes against the Gator pass rush. Florida is not as good as their 38-10 win over Ole Miss, but they will beat a rebuilding Missouri squad by more than 10 points. 28-17 UF.

Is it true Nunez might be doubtful for the game? What type of QB is Orth?

Yeah, I'm going to stop making predictions because mine hvent worked out too well.

That being said, while not predicting this to happen, I wouldn't be shocked if Tennessee beats Georgia. Tennessee has the better team, and if Butch decides to stop losing games then they should be able to get a win here.

I agree that Alabama could get to the 28-31 point range, and then just feed it to Henry/let the defense close it out.

I could see LSU/SC being a 34-17 type game. Fournette will get his yards, but this could be a chance to allow Harris to work the pass game a little bit and gain a little confidence.

I think UT/UGA could be a 24-13 type score. Both teams are good with the run, and ok with the pass. This comes down to which rusher (Chubb-Dobbs/Hurd) can hold up.

UF/Mizz will come down to which defense wants it more. Who has the better passing game? Lock held his own against SC, but Grier has more weapons. I say 27-10 Gators here.
