We’re finally at a point where most teams are heading into the meat of their conference schedules, and to me, some of these match ups make for cool buzz and tasty waves. I swore off attending September games after Pedo State. But, since it will officially be October, and the weather this week is cooling down, I’m about 57.5/42.5 on heading up to the Planez. The only thing giving me paws (See what I did there? Tiger Paws) is the virtual guarantee of some bad, bad Auburn football. So, I’m going all Gus, and saying I’ll look at that toward the end of the week. Some selections below.
#7 Kentucky @ #14 Ole Miss: Has anyone outside these two fan bases ever given a flippity shit about this match up in the past? Well flippity the script. We’ve got two undefeated, top 15 teams playing in Oxford. The early line looks to be about 5.5 in favor of the Landshark Black Bears. Kentucky will get a boost from the return of RB, Chris Rodriguez, from suspension. I’m still not a believer in either of these clubs, but I have to give them credit for where they seem to be headed. I’ll take the Racist Rebs at home.
Ole Miss: 31
Kentucky: 24
Bama @ Arkansas: The Hawgs looked like the 2021 version of the Aubren Tiggers this weekend against A&M. Started fast. Looked in control. And then Pffffffffft. One play turned the whole momentum around, the Piggies never got it back, but still had a chance at the end before DOINK!!! Has to be deflating. Pittman seems to have a way of getting his guys jacked, and I don’t see it being any different here. Ear-Regardless, on paper, Bama should still handle this bunch purely from a talent standpoint. But, this is a little different Tahd team. They good. Make no mistake. But they have no backs or pass catchers that can take over a game like they’ve had for so many years in the past. And several times last year, in games like Florida, LSU and Auburn, they looked very beatable. Include Texas this year. The line is 16.5. I like Arky to cover.
Bama: 31
Arky: 21
Wake Forest @ FSU: I like this game because it may be 52-45. I think it will be.
FSU: 52
Wake: 45
#10 NC State @ #5 Clemson: Frick Clemson. But this one is a bit intriguing because they’re both undefeated and both top 10. A lot of preseason hype around State finally putting it together and being that dark horse team that makes a run. They did hold Texas Tech to 14 a couple of weeks ago. It should be close, but I’ll take the Fighting Dabo’s at home.
Clemson: 24
NC State: 21
LSU @ Auburn: I’ve always picked with my heart on Auburn. I can’t anymore. LSU is okay, but they’re still miles ahead of our guys at this point. Our O-line can’t block a pee wee team, and our staff game plans like pee wee coaches. After the last two weeks, I’m wondering how the hell we even score. If we do, it will be early, and the same M.O. 10 first quarter points, and lucky to get 3 the rest of the way. Early exits at JHS
LSU: 35
Auburn: 13
