Finally, I am back to .500 and I can't wait for bowl season. This is an interesting week in the SEC where some road favorites look to hold on. Let's see who I like.
Ole Miss at Mississippi State (+7)
Last year Ole Miss beat MSU 45-0. MSU is being out gained and outscored on the season. Ole Miss is coming off a big win vs LSU and should be able to carry over the momentum into the Egg Bowl. Look for Ole Miss to exploit MSU's weak pass defense (7.9 YPA) on their way to a route. Pick: Ole Miss -7
Tennessee at Kentucky (+3)
Tennessee has beaten Kentucky the last 4 years. Tennessee hasn't won a road game this year which scares me, but they have the better players and coach. Monte Kiffin will have a few tricks up his sleeve that will confuse Kentucky's backup QB. Expect the Vols to pound the ball on the ground to exploit the Wildcats poor run defense (4.6 ypc). Pick: Tennessee -3
Alabama at Auburn (+10)
Alabama beat Auburn 36-0 last year. While Auburn's offense has been better this year, their defense has gotten worse. Auburn is giving up 177 ypg and 4.5 ypc which spells trouble when Mark Ingram and the Crimson Tide come to town. Alabama will make Auburn one-dimensional on offense and cruise to victory. Pick: Alabama -10
Season: 18-18

Well, that wasn't the week I expected with a 1-2 showing. Every time you think you have something figured out, Vegas laughs at you. One more week before bowl season!
