- 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.

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.

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.

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

Over in Lexington with a running clock..we will play underneath all night...with our scrappy D?

I don’t see that many points in this one

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

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+.


Giving up 459 yards in an overtime game with Ole Miss looks a little different than it did last week.
