Football Friday Vol. 5

Well, last week wasn’t my best to date. I sported a 6-4 record (why did I pick the Bills again?), giving me a 50-15 mark for the season. This week’s games are pretty easy to pick with only one game that should even be close. Here are my picks:

NFL:
Denver over Oakland in Sunday night’s game. Should be a rout.
Chicago over Arizona in Monday night’s game. Ditto.

SEC:
Bama should roll over Ole Miss in Oxford.
Arkansas gets to beat up on SE Missouri State. No contest.
Georgia will bounce back strong against a good Vandy team.
LSU should maul Kentucky.
I even think Mississippi State will get in the win column this week against Jack State.

The only real game will be Florida / Auburn. I know Florida’s looked great lately and Auburn laid an egg last week against Arkansas. I know Urban Meyer’s Gator team is road tested, having already won on the road at Neyland this season. I know Auburn’s rush defense looked susceptible last week and their offense couldn’t get much going against the Razorbacks. No matter. 7 days ago, I would’ve picked Auburn to get the job done at home and last Saturday’s games doesn’t change that. I know I’m picking against the grain here, but I have Auburn knocking off the Gators at Jordan-Hare.

    A surprising pick. You must be sicker than I thought! O Well. War Eagle!

    Well, I called my shot with the Auburn game. I don’t think anybody could’ve predicted Vandy over Georgia, though.

    Auburn still doesn’t look good, despite the win. just like in their win over LSU, they didn’t as much win it as Florida lost it. The safety and fumbled punt snap really was what did Florida in. Auburn has now beaten LSU and Florida and only 1 offensive touchdown (and averaged under 14 ppg in the 3 games against LSU, Ark, and Fla). Florida ran through them, particularly in the first half, just like Arkansas did. I’ll be anxious to see how they finish. They may win out and end up in the SEC title game, but I’ll very surprised if they are able to beat Tennessee (if they end up there) and I say there’s no way they beat Florida a second time. But it’s still a long way to December…

    I hear what you’re saying, Greg. Unless Florida loses another one, the Vols won’t make it to Atlanta. After the Vandy debacle, I can’t really see Georgia getting it done. Other than that, Florida’s played most of their tough games.

    Yeah, I hear you, too. And, since TN is going to lose to Ark, that pretty much leaves them out anyway :)Well, I can dream, can’t I? :)Yeah, I think Florida will probably run the table (at least in conference) from here on out. I didn’t think Auburn would lose another which would mean Ark can only lose one, and they’ve got at least 3 tough games left.
