So far I am 22-16 on the year, but I have a bad feeling that is about to change as I use the <a href=\"http:\/\/sportsdirect.usatoday.com\/odds\/usatoday\/odds.aspx#ncaaf\" onclick=\"__gaTracker('send', 'event', 'outbound-article', 'http:\/\/sportsdirect.usatoday.com\/odds\/usatoday\/odds.aspx#ncaaf', 'SPORTBETTING');\" target=\"new\">SPORTBETTING<\/a> line (as of early Saturday morning).<\/p>\n<p><b><em>17 Auburn at Arkansas<\/em><\/b><br \/>\nDo I really have to listen to the noise from the Planes when the Tigers go 6-0 on the year?  Yes I do.  Auburn <em>easily<\/em> covers the 3 points they are giving up to the Hogs.<\/p>\n<p><b><em>Vanderbilt at Army<\/em><\/b><br \/>\nKind 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\u2019t, this is the last f\u2019ing time I am going to pick them this year.<\/p>\n<p><b><em>Houston at Miss. St<\/em><\/b><br \/>\nFor 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\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<p><b><em>Kentucky at 25 South Carolina<\/em><\/b><br \/>\nThis 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. <\/p>\n<p><b><em>3 Alabama at 20 Mississippi<\/em><\/b><br \/>\nI keep hearing that this is one of the marquee matchups of the weekend.  Don\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n<p><b><em>1 Florida 4 LSU<\/em><\/b><br \/>\nOf course this one <em>is<\/em> 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\u2019s 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 \u2018em to cover and win outright!<\/p>\n<p><b><em>Georgia at Tennessee<\/em><\/b><br \/>\nI need more coffee before tackling this one in any significant detail.  This one is Georgia\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<p>Go Dawgs!<\/p>\n<div class=\"addtoany_share_save_container addtoany_content_bottom\"><div class=\"a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_ addtoany_list a2a_target\" id=\"wpa2a_1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share\" onclick=\"__gaTracker('send', 'event', 'outbound-article', 'https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share', '');\" class=\"a2a_dd addtoany_share_save\"><img src=\"http:\/\/www.calvertgames.com\/cgblog\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-any\/share_save_171_16.png\" width=\"171\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Share\"\/><\/a>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\nif(wpa2a)wpa2a.script_load();\n\/\/--><\/script>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>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.
