As is being discussed in the Toe to Toe thread, our War Eagles head to Sakerlina for a titanic match up. However, the latest, greatest GAME OF THE CENTURY takes place in Brunt Danny between the filthy, flea-bitten mutts and the Mahty Tahd. I think most Auburn fans will have a real hard time deciding who to pull for/against. Probably the best thing to do is get plenty of frosty beverage and take a drink every time the announcers reference the teacher vs. pupil. Toe up from the flo up by kick off. But first, a match up that may just be pretty entertaining.
Ole Miss @ Arkansas: In the few days since our epic win over the Hawgs, I'm already starting to lean towards Johnny Reb in this one. No offense Hogwally, but I'm just about done with reading and hearing about the Piggies getting cheated Saturday and how Pittman has the program officially "back". In the short time I heard Finebaum yesterday, there were two callers who actually said Arky will be competing for the West title. I see any delusions of grandeur being crushed this weekend.
Having said that, Arkansas is in fact, a better team than in recent years. But then, how could you be worse? Flippee Franks has certainly been an upgrade at QB and that defense is competitive enough to keep them in most games. On the other hand, the early returns show Kiffin putting the Rebel Bear offense on a different level. I kept thinking Bama would figure them out, but Hobby Lobby just kept on scoring. And the most impressive thing was not the speed, misdirections or innovative passing attack. The eye-opener was how many times they lined up and ran it right at the Tahd with success. Still, the tit to the tat, the ying to the yang is the OMD could be the worst in the league.
The last 5 contests between these two went 31-17, 37-33, 38-37, 34-30 and 53-52. Will this one be any different?
Ole Miss: 42
Arkansas: 33
Georgia @ Alabama: I hate that I hate these two programs so much. And I hate that I'm absolutely going to watch. This one is definitely intriguing. Right off the bat, I think the difference in this one will be the dawg D. They are as advertised and should be able to make enough stops to bring home the kibble. Bama's offense is good. Real good. Mac Jones is hitting right at 80% of his passes with 8 TD to 1 INT. The receivers are again, shitcherpantz fast, the line is huge and experienced and Nah-Gee is being Najee. They're going to score.
Honestly, other than the Dawgs putting their man hands all over us, I haven't watched much of them. They hung 44 on The Fighting Cheetos so I'm assuming Cowboy Hat Bennett and the Boys are doing work. Texas A&M moved the ball well against the Tahd D and should have scored a good bit more. What the Black Bears did to that Bama defense was a Class B Felony. Hobby Lobby's offense may be special, and I doubt Georgia has the same quick strike capabilities. But they certainly should be able to light up the scoreboard enough to come out on top, especially if the D plays up to snuff.
Georgia: 33
Bama: 30
Auburn @ South Carolina: This past weekend, we headed to the mountains of north Georgia. While the women shopped, me and me and my buddy found a great sports bar and took in the Gusty Gaytah/Faggies game. Sakerlina was playing Vandy on a TV off to the side. From what I could tell, it was pouring rain the whole game, and the Cocks were pouring on the points. The final was 41-7. But then, Vandy lost 41-7 the week before as well, so what, if anything, can you read into that. Probably nothing other than USCe may be capable of playing a solid game in all phases. The problem is, we don't look capable of putting together a complete game against air. Morris would still find a way to call a shitty game and Nix would still leave the pocket and roll to his right.
Despite that, we still have the weapons to score a decent amount of points against most average defenses. Notice how I said "average defenses"? My hope is that average is exactly what Sakerlina's D is. The other side of the coin is what I saw Saturday in our own defense. That was ugly. Georgia rammed it down our throats like a porn star. Arkansas was jukin' and jivin', bobbin' and weavin' all around us. The D looked incredibly slow and completely out of gas by midway through the 3rd. I really don't have high hopes for this one. Just because it's my Planesmenz:
Auburn: 28
South Carolina: 27
Please, converse amongst yourselves.

Ole Miss is going to light the scoreboard over and over against the Hogs D. 63-21
Georgia is salty...but Bama gonna bama. Saban's streak against his protegees continues. 33-13
Haven't seen much, but USCe is always about the same year over year. I think our defense gets some injured guys back (though getting PT for the youngsters was about the only bright spot last week) and bottles up whoever the Cocks are trotting out on O. As for our O? Morris has kilt it dead. This could be another 3-2 MissSt-esque game. In fact, that's my prediction: 3-2.

The first part of that is probably spot on. But I can't see the Black Bear D holding a pee wee team to 21. Well, Chad and the Gang may not crack that number.

For Bama and UGA, I'm rooting for an earthquake. My only issue is that the stadium won't be packed, and thus, we won't lose one entire fanbase.
Fuck Georgia. Fuck Bama.
-
Ga's D has yet to face a serious offensive threat or a team with any OL depth....that changes Saturday. You can actually say the same about 2019 too......skated through a schedule largely until they got to LSU who ripped that D apart. Stat padded.
Even Trask picked their secondary apart in a loss with no rushing help that day. Ga's front 7 is legit but their back 4 are still suspect.

fudge Georgia. fudge Bama.
You don't say much, frien. But when you do, it's to the point and I salute you for it.

Snags engages in thoughtful consideration. Possible recalculation of earlier prognostication.

hey, I heard former saban assts are 0 for something against him...did you hear that as well. Maybe Gary can tell us again for good measure.

Are you telling me that none of his former assistants have ever beaten him? Get the hell out of here. I've never heard that....since lunch today.

Gary is like that senile old man at the bar at Buffalo Wild Wings watching all the day's action on the 836 TVs and having ingested a few too many brewskis , except he's mic'd up and on CBS.

I find it hard to believe that none of his annual 185 assistant coaches have ever beaten him.

Speaking of wings, that was my go-to wherever we went this weekend up in Blue Ridge. Found some great, icy cold IPA's and several varieties of wings. Football is just better with teh little bird parts and frosty brew(s).

Did you know Jarrett Stidham was from Texas and is engaged? Also, Bo Nix might be related to a former Auburn QB! Gary's a fount of knowledge, I tell ya.

Picks
Auburn 26
South Carolina 23
Auburn's offense is a miserable thing to watch especially when matched against a good defense. The Tigers defense is fairly stout unless they are left on the field too long. South Carolina's plan in this game should be focused on holding the ball on offense as long as possible to wear out the Auburn defense. Then, they must capitalize on opportunities. Auburn has not looked good in any game this season, but they still hold two wins which gives them confidence to play until the final whistle. Give Auburn the edge on special teams here and that's enough reason to pick the Tigers in another close game.
Arkansas 44
Ole Miss 40
- The Rebel Black Bear Landsharks think they won something last week. They did not. Arkansas is mad and I think they will find a way to gut out a win where defense is merely a suggestion.
Alabama 31
Georgia 24
- As others have posted, we've seen this movie. Bama gonna Bama and fGeorgia is still fGeorgia (prone to chokeage in a big game).
TAMU 28
MissStake 10
- Texas A&M doesn't need a monster game or to do anything fancy to win this one.
IF IT HAPPENS
Florida 44
LSU 41
- Neither defense is good; Florida's offense is more consistent. LSU DC Bo Pelini is relieved of duties at the end of this? Maybe.

So snags isn't going with you?

See. The plan is for UGA to win so when we face bammer, our only loss is UGA. So we beat Bama and go to the ship.
It’s all planned out!

I presumed so. Otherwise, what's the point?
