Rivalry Week: SEC game predictions (plus the other one!)

Before we talk about SEC rivalries, let’s think about the one that’s not going to be played this week: Virginia and Virginia Tech. It’s not because of COVID-19.

At 3.30pm ET (2.30 pm God’s time), No.1 Tennessee rolls into No.3 Georgia with the SEC East on the line. And if things go really badly for the one of the sides, potentially a College Football Play-Off place, too. Later on, No.6 Alabama rolls into Death Valley to face LSU. Even if the scoreline’s out of hand, it’s always pretty
