Weekend predictions + 10

Predictions for this weekend.

Florida at Vanderbilt. Lessee ... Florida beat UGA and KY by about a bajillion to 5. Really, unless Florida just completely misses the flight to Nasville, the Gators win and easily cover the 24.5

Arkansas at South Carolina. Arkansas is desperately trying to gain some respectability before Bobby Petrino trots off to Clemson, or Washington, or K-State, or Tennessee, or whereever he is going next. SC is trying to get to a good bowl and not make Spurrier look inept. 'Cocks win, but take the hogs and the 10

Georgia at Kentucky. Georgia is coming off the same kind of beatdown that Kentucky is two weeks removed from. Other than that, Kentucky has no offense and a defense that is not as good as its ranking would indicate. Georgia has a very good offense, a fair defense and absolutely no killer instinct. Fortunately, they don't need one this week. Doggies cover 11.5

Alabama at LSU. The Saban bowl. LSU is just not all that good, and Alabama is all that good. Also, Saban is a better coach than Miles. Tide rolls and covers the 3

Georgia Tech at North Carolina. Either everyone in the ACC is really good, or everyone is equally mediocre. I suspect it is the latter. The Tarheels are favored, but the better team always loses in this year's ACC. Tech wins outright, but take the 4 points anyway.

Oklahoma State at Texas Tech. This week's PS3 game out of the Big 12. The over/under on yards gained has got to be about 950. I will keep picking against the Red Raiders and sooner or later I'll be right. Cowboys win outright, but take the 3.5.

World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party: The Gators are better. Take Florida and give the 6
Auburn at Ole Miss: The worst 4-4 team at the best 4-4 team. Take Ole Miss and give the 6 1/2
Tennessee at South Carolina: Spurrier to try run Fulmer out of town. Take USC and give the 5 1/2
Kentucky at Mississippi State: Take the cats at the 2 1/2, but they win outright.
Tulane at LSU: The Bayou Bengals need someone they can hang 50 on. Here they are. Take LSU and give the 25
Texas at Texas Tech: I still don't really believe in the Red Raiders. They have amassed a pretty record against some seriously bad competition. Texas is the first good team they play and they are going down hard. The line is 4, but the 'Horns win by at least 3 TDs
