WEEK 4: SEC PREDICTIONS

Dear Lord it’s a boring week in the SEC…

So here are your very short list of predictions

1. Florida at Miami (-7.5): Florida’s not the train wreck everyone thinks they are, and if they wipe stupid penalties away, this’ll be close(ish). The problem? Wiping out the stupid penalties. Oh, and CJ Lagway has to perform better than the LSU game (not hard, I know). And they have to stop a high-powered Miami team, which has been playing virtually spotless football on both sides of the ball.  PREDICTION: Miami by 10.

2. Auburn at OU (-6.5): Jackson Arnold throws 2 picks on his homecoming, and Mateer keeps up the Heisman conversation. PREDICTION: OU by 7.

3. South Carolina at Mizzou (-9.5): Carolina’s defense ain’t great (shipped 31 to mighty Vanderbilt), and nor’s the offense. Mizzou has Pribula. Simples. PREDICTION: Mizzou by 14. 

4. Arkansas at Memphis: Arkansas is playing well offensively, even if the defense is, ahem, pretty leaky. Arkansas had better watch out for Memphis QB Brendon Lewis who’s good in the air and floor. Same with Memphis and Taylen Green, I suppose. PREDICTION: Fun game, though. Arky by 10.

5. Tulane at Ole Miss (-11.5): Tulane’s Jake Retzlaff is a lot of fun to watch. PREDICTION: Ole Miss by 17 in a track-meet (first half) until the Rebs get their collective asses together.

6. Sam Houston at Texas (-39.5): Winless Sam Houston gets a betting line in Austin this weekend. That’s how bad they are. Oh, and your boring fact for the day — Sam Houston has lost every game by exactly 17 each time. PREDICTION: Texas wins, Arch Manning gets some good and bad PR, and comes home with a win of far more than 17 points.

The rest of the games? Yawn.
