This weekend features a few interesting matchup and of course one hell of a bid for the early hold on the SEC half of the BCS equitation. So far I am 22-16 on the year, but I have a bad feeling that is about to change as I use the SPORTBETTING line (as of early Saturday morning).
17 Auburn at Arkansas
Do I really have to listen to the noise from the Planes when the Tigers go 6-0 on the year? Yes I do. Auburn easily covers the 3 points they are giving up to the Hogs.
Vanderbilt at Army
Kind of a ho-hum matchup unless you happen to be a West Point grad, or maybe spent your college days at Vanderbilt. In either case you are probably not reading this blog, so get over yourself already! Army is getting 10.5 in this one, and while the game will be close early on, Vanderbilt should cover. If they don’t, this is the last f’ing time I am going to pick them this year.
Houston at Miss. St
For the Western Bullpups there would be no shame in losing to the Cougars from Houston because this same Houston team took down a highly ranked Oklahoma St team, which happened to beat Georgia; who’s only two losses on the season have come to Top 10 teams (at the time of agonizing defeats). With that out of the way, Miss St is laying 2, which is kind of scary because I keep getting hosed by taking Miss St, but on any given week a mediocre SEC team is much better than so other junk from another conference. I am taking my chances for Miss St to cover.
Kentucky at 25 South Carolina
This one is easy. The Fighting Chickens have to give up 9.5 points to the Kitty Cats from Kentucky. No way they cover. Kentucky with the points.
3 Alabama at 20 Mississippi
I keep hearing that this is one of the marquee matchups of the weekend. Don’t go fooling yourself and get caught with your pants down. Alabama easily covers the 4.5 they have to give up to the Oxford Boys.
1 Florida 4 LSU
Of course this one is the marquee matchup of the weekend and all we keep hear is will Superman play? If LSU needed a miracle in the closing seconds to beat the Bulldogs, I do not see them beating the Gators. Even if the game is in Death Valley. At night. With Florida’s backup QB. The Gators are giving up 7.5, which seems like a hell of a lot, but I am sure that line is out there to entice some fools to take the Tigers. Except for possibly Texas, Florida is the best team in all the land, but those 7.5 points scare me. I am still going to pick ‘em to cover and win outright!
Georgia at Tennessee
I need more coffee before tackling this one in any significant detail. This one is Georgia’s season. Win and they have a change to recover to a decent Bowl. If they do not man up after that heartbreaking travesty last weekend against LSU, their season goes down the pisser in a hurry. They get one measly point, but for some reason I think they win big. Call me a fool.
Go Dawgs!
