The Tigers are riding high on a one game winning streak. We bona fide, baby. Now, if we can just find a way to ease by Vanderbilt. Sad times, indeed when you have to say that. Not a ton of high profile match ups this weekend, and while it’s not the GAME OF THE CENTURY, as the Bama knob schlobbing media always labels it, the Tide and LSU is probably still the best game of the weekend. The first playoff rankings come out tonight, and some of these games may just eliminate a few contenders.
Kansas State @ Texas: The Horns are at home, and sitting at a 4 point favorite. The Mildcats come in at 5-2, fresh off a 41-3 pasting of the Horney Toads of Texas Christian. Texas is still without Quinn You-Errs, which is probably the reason for the low spread. I’m calling it.
Kansas State: 28
Texas: 24
Texas A&M @ Ole Miss: Does anybody realize Ole Miss is 7-1? It was like, after the Bama loss, we all kind of nodded and said, Yep, typical Ole Miss. This week and next, will determine if Lane vaults back up into the spotlight, and the national press fawns all over Mr. Freshwater. They have A&M at home this week, and a trip to the Cesspool known as Athens next Saturday. As much as I hate the Greasy Car Salesman, and desperately want him to fail, this is a dangerous team. Solid on D, and Max Johnson looks more comfortable the more reps he gets. I still like the Black Bears at home. Hobby Lobby.
Ole Miss: 27
A&M: 21
Arkansas @ Florida: I said last week that Florida really needed that signature win against FUGA, because after that, shit gets real. But, that’s next week, starting a stretch of LSU, Mizzou and FSU. I’m picking the Fighting Percy Harvey’s, but lose this one, and Coach Crew Cut may be on his way out the door.
Florida: 35
Arkansas: 28
LSU @ Alabama: This one is actually pretty hard to predict. As if all my other predictions are perfect. Bama only opens as a 3 point favorite at home, so Vegas can’t quite get a handle on it either. LSU averages a staggering 47 points per game. I said prior to the season, that I think Jaden Daniels is the best QB in this conference, and one of the best in the nation. For that, I was scoffed at, mocked, derided, ridiculed, sneered and jeered at, made fun of, and otherwise, treated contemptuously. Most times, that’s pretty much well-deserved. But Daniels is in fact, a stud, accounting for 30 TD’s so far between his throwing the ball to pass catchers, and using his legs to advance the pigskin down the field. They won’t reach their average this Saturday, but they will score.
On the other side of the ball, the Boys from Redstick, are in a world of hurt. They’re absolutely scraping the bottom of the barrel in the defensive backfield, which is where Bama should be able to make bank. Because they’re at home, and the LSU D is held together with duck tape and Gorilla Glue, I think the Tahd takes this one.
Bama: 35
LSU: 32
Auburn @ Vanderbilt: We’ve all analyzed Freeze & Co. enough at this point. No need to look at match ups etc. Vanderbilt is bad. Real bad. After reeling off two monster wins against Hawaii and Alabama A&M to start the season, the Dores have lost 7 in a row, giving up an average of 38 a game in the process. No analysis needed. Auburn MUST take care of their bidnezz. No excuses. They will.
Auburn: 35
Vandy: 21
