Hey kids, welcome back to another fun week of SEC predictions. The exciting part of this week's schedule is there are five conference games! Seems a bit early to have that many but should make for some exciting football. We also have a couple interesting non-conference games as well.
Last week, I went 1-0 in conference games and 13-2 overall, (yes, I picked Vandy over Virginia Tech), so after two weeks, our record stands at a tidy 1-0 in SEC games, and 25-6 overall. Not a bad start to the 2025 season. Let's take a look at this week's games.
Wisconsin at Alabama - 11a - ABC - After playing horribly against Florida State, the Tide took it out on Monroe last Saturday. Now, this is not a really good Wisconsin team like we have seen in the past, but the Tide should still leave Bryant-Denny with a win. Alabama 42, Wisconsin 17
Oklahoma at Temple - 11a - ESPN2 - I wonder how much Temple had to pay Oklahoma to come to Philadelphia. Just kidding. The Sooners should have no problem with the Owls. Oklahoma 35, Temple 13
South Alabama at Auburn - 11.45a - SEC - Auburn fans will welcome the cupcake on this week's schedule, since they travel to Norman next week. The key for Auburn? Don't let anyone get hurt. Auburn 45, South Alabama 20
Georgia at Tennessee - 2.30p - ABC - After Alabama dispatched the Badgers, take a few minutes, go to the loo, refresh your drink, grab a few more pretzels. One thing you won't have to do is change the channel, as Georgia travels Rocky Top to take on the Volunteers. This should be fun. I'm taking the Dawgs, though I would be hard-pressed to tell you why. Georgia 34, Tennessee 32
Louisiana at Missouri - 3p - SEC - The Tigers, led by Penn State transfer QB Beau Pribula, looked good in coming from behind to beat rival Kansas last week. In two games, Pribula has completed 79 percent of his passes, thrown for five touchdowns and no interceptions. That's pretty good. Mizzou 44, Louisiana 14
UTEP at Texas - 3.15p - SEC - Another game that should be over after 15 minutes. Enjoy the Texas Marching Band at halftime. Texas 56, UTEP 0
Alcorn State at Mississippi State - 5p - SEC - How about those Bulldogs beating a ranked Arizona State team last week! Another win like that and they will be ready to play Ole Miss! Mississippi State 28, Alcorn 7
Arkansas at Ole Miss - 6p - ESPN - A lot of SEC pundits think the Hogs and Rebels will become permanent rivals when the new SEC schedule comes out, so tonight you get a free preview. Ole Miss 35, Arkansas 28
Texas A&M at Notre Dame - 6.30p - NBC - I probably won't watch this game, because there are better games. The Irish are slightly favored, but I would love to see the Aggies come home with a win, realistically, any kind of win. Texas A&M 34, Notre Dame 24
Florida at LSU - 6.30p - ABC - the fun continues on ABC with what I consider the best game of the day. Florida will be looking to get back on winning ways after laying an egg at home last week against South Florida. The Gators will be back, just not this week. LSU 37, Florida 24
Eastern Michigan at Kentucky - 6.30p - ESPNU - Let me know how this game goes......I won't be watching it. Kentucky 25, E. Michigan 17
Vanderbilt at South Carolina - 6.45p - SEC - I would really like to pick the Commodores in this one, but common sense says, "no, not this time, maybe later." Gamecocks at home. South Carolina 45, Vandy 30
Enjoy the sunshine this weekend and the warm weather. Light jackets are probably all that will be needed for the night across the south. Have a great day viewing. Enjoy your wings.
Be kind to each other, see you next week.
