SEC Predictions for Week 8

Florida VS Mississippi State

This is a huge game for my Bulldogs...The #1 team in the nation comes to Starkvegas for a big ESPN televised game...Coach Mullen goes against his old team and his old quarterback...Cowbells will be clangin'....The atmosphere will be electric...The Gators haven't won in Starkville since 1986...Call me crazy, but I almost feel an upset in the air...I don't want to jinx it, though, so I'm picking with my brain instead of my heart...I really hope this is wrong.....Gators 35 - Dawgs 24

Ole Messy VS Arkansas

The Rebs showed out against UAB, but have yet to impress against a decent opponent...The Hogs nearly knocked off Florida last week and had a close loss to Georgia earlier in the year...Take away the Alabama game and the Razorbacks have been in the thick of every battle so far...They are also getting better with time.....Arkansas 30 - Rebs 27

Tennessee VS Alabama

I see this one going down as a defensive struggle...Although Monte Kiffin is a master of that side of the ball, I believe Alabama will be too physical in the end...If defense wins games, then the Tide will roll.....Bama 20 - Tenn 13

Auburn VS LSU

Just when I started to believe Auburn was the "real deal", they drop two in a row...LSU is still overrated, in my opinion, but I see no way in hades that the Tigers from the plains go into Baton Rouge and beat the Bayou Bengals...although I think it will be pretty close.....LSU 28 - Auburn 20

Vanderbilt VS South Carolina

Poor Vandy...Injuries and suspensions have the Commodores looking like ...well...Vandy again...Spurrier has the Gamecocks playing pretty well right now. Even though Bobby Johnson's defense may keep his team in this game early on, I see Carolina running away with this one.....SC 35 - Dores 13

Kentucky VS Louisiana Monroe

The Wildcats are a hard team to figure out..Everybody had written them off, until their win over Auburn last week. Now it appears that they may be decent after all...Like I've said many times, though, Rich Brooks is a coach that usually over achieves...ULM should provide his cats with an easy non conference win, which is critical if they want to go bowling.....Kentucky 38 - ULM 14
