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

Sup everyone, it's been another interesting week in SEC football! After my Week 6 predicions, my record for predictions so far is 8-6. I'm getting better I guess, haha. I'm going to start thinking a little more logically about how drastic my scores should be, because after looking back, a good bit of them were pretty ridiculous. Here's to better guesses this week! As always, these picks of mine may be out there and they may be pretty much terrible. If you think so, tell me what your picks are below, I'd like to see some different opinions! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

Auburn @ Kentucky: 20-17, Kentucky witnesses the trainwreck.
What better way to start off the thread than with an edgy prediction like this! I think this will be one of the last things that Kentucky will be able to boast about this season unfortunatly. Nothing against y'all, but I just think that the good streak has to end eventually. Sorry Auburn, I feel for y'all, I really do..it's nothing personal. With kentucky looking better this year and Auburn looking much worse than previous years, I think this sets up a crazy little game. Kentucky's home advantage will also be useful for them. Kentucky gets a FG at the end of the game to win this nailbiter! Go ahead and tell me how crazy I am for predicting this, I'm ready.

#10 Alabama @ #9 Texas A&M: 28-21, A&M escapes.
After a tough battle against Arkansas last week, it doesn't look like it's going to get easier for Bama. Texas A&M I think is going to take advantage of their time off and the fact that they are at home for this game. I think Alabama's going to have offensive woes in the first half, allowing A&M to get the slip on them early. In the second half Alabama will try to rally back, but will fall just short in a heartbreaking loss. For a more specific prediction on how exactly, I think an interception will be thrown on their last chance to tie it up. Again, I'm sure I'm crazy for taking A&M's side for this game, but I just have a gut feeling with this one.

Vanderbilt @ South Carolina: 17-13, South Carolina wins the cripple battle of the ages just barely.
At this point, I honestly would not be shocked if this went either way. I'm having trouble believing that we'll be able to score anything with our poor offense, but we did get 17 points against LSU, so maybe there's hope. I'm going with my hopes on this one. Low scoring game, both defenses playing their hearts out, one offense ends up being just a little better. Seriously though, we could very well lose this one if we don't take them seriously. All my doubts aside, I'm standing with South Carolina on this one.

#8 Florida @ #6 LSU: 38-27, LSU offense ends up being superior.
Is having LSU win by 11 points bad? I don't really know what to expect. I think this is probably how the game will turn out though. Florida might pull the shock off, I wouldn't be all that surprised honestly. Both teams look really good this year, so this one will be a shootout to remember I believe. LSU's run game I feel is going to work wonders with LF by their side and I feel Florida will fall just short.

Missouri @ Georgia: 23-16, Georgia gets by.
I know most people think Georgia's lost it, but I still have a strong feeling that Georgia will at least pull this win off. Missouri's defense has to work it's butt off though if they want a shot at Georgia. Georgia needs to worry about not letting Missouri do exactly what Tennessee did to them last week. No giving up big leads and no stupid decisions. I think Georgia will learn and get a much needed win at home and send the Tigers packing. Won't be a high scoring win I think though.

I'm hoping for a Chavis meltdown in the 4th.

UK kicker is day to day. I think that bites us. Unless, of course, we just go for it on every fourth down in AU territory. Which would be awesome and statistically intelligent.

You can't count the kickoff return TD, we really scored 17 against LSU.

Because I was talking about offense, not special teams.

I said in the post that our offense somehow was able to score 24 on LSU, forgetting that we had a kickoff return TD made by special teams. So saying that the offense got all 24 points would be incorrect.

I would say that Bye Week would more than likely overcome a 4th quarter deficit to get the W; but considering my teams current situation after last week...

Auburn 21 - Kentucky 17- Gus Bus gets back on track, but barely.
Alabama 35 - A & M 21 - Gotta trust the Saban. Not exactly sure what A&M is made of yet.
Vanderbilt 10 - USC 7 - Vandy Gets a defensive score to pull off a win
Florida 17 - LSU 21 - LF carries the team on his back, but just barely.
Missouri 10- UGA 17 - Lambert can drop some dimes, but I'm taking Mizzou to cover the spread.

AU 23 UK 20: could go either way. Would like to see a UK win but my gut tells me they'll lose a close one.

A&M 38 Bama 35: These two teams are more evenly matched than many think. They match each other blow for blow but missed FG's again will prove costly for Bama.

SC 14 Vandy 10: This game features the worst teams in the SEC and it will show. Cocks squeak by.

LSU 31 UF 24: Gators keeps it tight but LSU is just a tad better and has the edge in a night home game.

UGA 27 Mizzou 10: The dawgs can't be this bad, right? Lack of an offense dooms Mizz in this one.

FWIW I had one wrong pick SU last week and I was very glad for that pick being wrong.

True in every sense.

That's been our feeling about 90% of the past 8 years. Trust me, we understand.

Vandys D is much better than South Carolina's. Both offenses suck but Cooper is the offensive player on the field. Vandy has had a high propensity for giving up one big ST play every SEC game but being solid otherwise.

IF VU plays solid ST and avoids that mistake I think they win.
