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
