I’m posting this here instead of the Accountability thread, because I don’t want to own my 1-2 record this past weekend. Obviously, I thought this might be the week Auburn found a way not to F themselves. Nope, they F’d themselves. I jumped on the Texas hype train and really thought they would drag the Dawgs. WRONG! I was almost spot on with Bama/Tennessee because UT is a top 5 in the nation D, while the Tahd’s offense is not too far above Auburn’s right now. Anyway, new slate of games.
Missouri @ Alabama (Bama -13.5) This line bumfuzzles me. As bad as The Barely Fighting Bedours have looked, how you make them a 13.5 favorite in this one is…well….bumfuzzling. The boys in Vegas know way more than me, so they must have some scoop that makes them think this won’t be close. Mizzou has the #9 overall defense in the country, while Bama skruggles to score right now. And let’s face it, when you look back on Saturday’s game against Auburn, they probably run us pretty good if Brady Cook doesn’t go out early. I may give Bama the edge at home, but F em’.
Missouri: 27
Bama: 21
LSU @ Texas A&M (A&M -2.5) Both teams lost week #1. Both have run the table since. I think the 2.5 is simply because it’s at Bonfire Field. This is a pick em’ to me, so I’ll just go with who I want to see win.
LSU: 35
Texas A&M: 28
Auburn @ Kentucky (UK -2.5) Yeeeeeeaaahh…I’m going with Kentucky here. With all the opportunities to pull off a nice W at Mizzou on Saturday, the reality is the offense scored a grand total of 10 points. UK has the #12 overall defense, and if they run Payton Thorne out there again, we may hang 14-17 on the Cats at most. I’ll watch. I’ll grill some delicious cow, bird or pig. But, I’ll have zero hopes of getting our first SEC win.
Kentucky: 28
Auburn: 17
Feel free to opine, talk amongst yourselves, or otherwise, bugger off.

Give me the Turds 31-21 over Mizzou.
I'll take LSU 38-34 over TAMU.
Lastly, I am picking UK 14-7 over our dumpster fire team.

LSU's resume is slightly better than A&M's. I think Boogie Brian K takes this one on the road.
Bama rolls. Cook was fucked for 3 quarters against Auburn and I'll wager my dollars to your doughnuts that the cortisone and painkillers were deployed en masse as they watched us beat the shit out of Pyne physically. I don't think Cook recovers sufficiently to elude Bama's D.
Auburn/UK? Fuck it, Dude. Let's go bowling.

Just like I harped on the Vol defense last week, I'll throw out another couple of tidbits on the Tahd/Tiger game. Ever since the first half of the FUGA game, Meal Row has looked like teh suxxors, running the rock, which is a huge part of their offense. The last 3 games, he's rushed for 10, 36 and 11 yards. While I'm sure it's just an excuse to cover for the Bammer's shortcomings, most seem to think there's an injury lurking about.
The other thing is, the Turd defensive backfield is down to almost all 2nd and 3rd stringers. Cook may have a bum wheel, as Weskie mentioned, but if he can still spin it, Mizzou has two legit pass catchers.
Since my predictions are always so spot on, it will probably be 31-0 Turds by halftime.

Going outside of the SEC this week.
Boise State @ UNLV - Friday Night Lights Edition
I don't know if the Boise St. RB is a NFL guy. I don't know if you can take his stats (which are on record-breaking pace) can compare to P4. But I do know that dude is hard to tackle. UNLV are no slouches on defense or offense themselves. Outside of Army-Navy - G5 game of the year stuff here. Give me the Broncos over the Runnin' Rebs.
Notre Dame @ Navy
Classic, old school pound the rock kind of game here. I'll take the Domers to hold on and hold off Navy for the win.
Illinois @ Oregon
I don't think Illinois can score enough to keep this within striking distance. Bert's Illini crew is tough and they won't make for an easy out, but I think the Ducks can pace out to a lead and hold on to get the win.
Kansas @ Kansas State
The Sunflower Bowl has lost some shine as Kansas is just not good this year. K-State is not covered in glory but they are a little less inconsistent than Kansas. Give me the Wildcats.
