After a stellar 4-0 slate last week, I will once again attempt to impress with some pull-it-out-my-ass predictions. Most of the SEC is taking a blow this week, with a couple of interesting games still on the schedule. Obviously, the Muttley/Gusty match up is the marquis contest in our league, with the Fighting Dabos also traveling to the land of Touchdown Jesus. A lot of sub plots in both contests. But first:
Tennessee @ Arkansas: I felt like A&M would handle their bidnezz against the Hogs, and the pretty much did, as far as I can tell. Honestly didn't get to watch but a few plays of that game, but assuming that's what happened with a double digit win for Aggie. Both teams come in 2-3, but you still have to feel like Arky continues to have the momentum. Coming off a couple of dismal years, the boys from Fayettenam remain competitive and realistically should have a winning record. The Battling Cheetos are headed in a completely different direction, having surrendered 44, 34, and 48 in their last 3 games respectively, all losses. I think after everything Arky has been through, coming out of this week at 3-3 would feel like Christmas morning. I think they get it done.
Arkansas: 30
Tennessee: 21
Clemson @ Notre Dame: Jeff Spiccoli is officially out for what is easily Clemson's biggest game of the year. If TL was playing, I'd say they cruise to a 15-20 point win. But that's not the case and the very orange Tigers have to go on the road with a QB named DJ Uigelalodalaheehoo, or some shit. Highly rated out of HS and physically gifted at 6'5" 245, he got his first start this past weekend against BC. He wasn't the problem. Clemson's defense was, finding themselves in a deep hole at half. Ukalele threw for about 300 and Clemson fought back to win, but it came down to stopping a last minute drive.
Normally, you would worry about a true freshman getting his second start on the road against ND. But we're doing the Covid thing and the countless dozens in attendance shouldn't be very intimidating. I'll still take Clemson here solely on the basis of superior overall speed and talent.
Clemson: 35
Notre Dame: 24
Florida @ Georgia: I picked Gusty Gaytah to beat Mizzou in a close one. I was half right. The reptiles handled that bidnezz and got back on track after a tough loss to A&M a few weeks ago. The nasty Dogs beat Kentucky with nasty D this past Saturday, but could only manage a couple of scores against the Mildcats. In addition, the skanky Bulldogs got hit hard by the injury bug, including losing star safety, Richard LeCounte, to injuries in a motorcycle crash after the game Saturday.
The Dogs have owned this series in recent years, winning the last 3. Florida has the edge at QB, the Percy Harvey speed, and one bad ass tight end that no one can stop. Gaytah isn't all that skippy on D, but I think they'll have enough to keep Georgia in check for the most part. I'm calling it:
Florida: 28
Georgia: 20
