Week 3 Predictions

What a weekend of football we had. There were a few upsets in my book. Who would pick Toledo to beat Arkansas?! Auburn barely scraped by in overtime against Jacksonville State and dropped to number 18. I thought Tennessee had the upset against Oklahoma but the interception in the second overtime finished the game for the Volunteers. Michigan State was able to hang on over the up-tempo pace of the Ducks and won by 3. That was a fun game to watch. This weekend the match ups are heating up and I expect a few heartbreaks.

Here's what I think the SEC will look like this week:

 

South Carolina vs Georgia ----- South Carolina 20  Georgia 28

Tenn vs W. Carolina ----- Tenn 38  W.Carolina 10

Florida vs Kentucky ----- Florida 28  Kentucky 10

Texas A&M vs Nevada ----- Texas A&M 24  Nevada 13

Miss ST vs Northwestern St ----- Miss St 21 Northwestern St 10

Auburn vs LSU ----- Auburn 21  LSU 28

Missouri vs Conn ----- Missouri 20  Conn 17

Vandy vs Austin P ----- Vandy 28  Austin P 7

Ole Miss vs Ala ----- Ole Miss 28  Ala 21

Arkansas vs Texas Tech ----- Arkansas 20  Texas Tech 21

 

I think an upset is in store in Tuscaloosa Saturday night. Ole Miss has scored over 70 points the past 2 weeks and Alabama has struggled with their pass defense. I'm not sure I can make it through the entire game with a 9:15pm kick-off but that will be one of the first scores I check come Sunday.

LSU could stop a tank and I think another loss for Auburn will drop them from the Top 25 easy. It doesn't help that they are playing away either. I predict a close one but LSU pulling through with a win. 

 

UGA vs SC is always a fun game to watch. UGA just looks like a better team and I think they'll be comfortable playing at home. 

I will also be paying close attention to the Yellow Jackets as they travel to Indiana to take on the Fighting Irish at 3:30pm. And FSU better play heads up on the road tomorrow night. I wouldn't be surprised if there was an upset at Alumni Stadium. 

 

Let me hear from you as to what you think!
