mws · Answer

I definitely agree with the Vandy play,

CarterSECpicks · Answer

That&#x27;s your right to do so.  Bet Tenn I have Vandy by 11.

Numero_Uno · Answer

I was trying to figure out you response Carter.  I love Vandy also in this one.  After losing in OT against Missouri, I expect to see a Volunteer team that has given up.

CarterSECpicks · Answer

I hope we are right

Numero_Uno · Answer

Another SEC game I am looking forward to is the A&amp;M team total.  I don&#x27;t remember off the top of my head if they have team totals when you play an FCS school, but I would imagine anything under 50 for A&amp;M would be a good over play.  I realize they are coming off of an emotional win, but I also realize they are going to try and pad Manziel&#x27;s stats to improve his chances of getting invited to NYC.

rangersmets · Answer

Not sure I&#x27;m ready to drink the Vandy kool-aid. They scored 27 on a so-so Ole Miss team but otherwise haven&#x27;t put up more than 19 ... yes, 19, against anyone other than UMASS and Presbyterian this season. Tennessee will score, without question, but it remains to be seen if Vandy can pull away, even at home.BOL to Vandy backers, probably a no-play for me.

captailor · Answer

If Tennessee plays any sort of defense against Vandy, it should be an easy win. Vanderbilt is not capable of keeping up with Tennessee. Vandy ranked 77th nationally in total offense. Tennessee 0-6 in the SEC but have played 5 ranked teams and were in every one of those games except one. Vanderbilts 4-3 conference record is deceiving once you see who they&#x27;ve beaten. teams the&#x27;ve beaten a combined 4-22 in conference.

blowoutgm · Answer

Agree but you need to swap S.Carolina and LSU-  LSU beat South Carolina and they both have two losses- Carolina got their asses handed to them by Florida 44-11. LSU lost 14-7. No more Lattimore- not sure how you think the cocks are better than the Tigers.

captailor · Answer

&#xD;&#xA;Gamecocks?&#xD;&#xA;Not sure if your post was directed towards me but I am on the Volunteers, not the gamecocks. Apologies if it wasn&#x27;t. Either way, good luck.

Numero_Uno · Answer

Your problem is you are not factoring in the fact that UT just lost a 3 OT game against a team that previously had only one win in the SEC and that was against UK.  Further, that game was at home.  At this point, my guess is UT is emotionally done and likely will have checked out for this game.

CarterSECpicks · Answer

UT is awful on defense. .Rodgers will have his way with their secondary and Vandy's freshman running back will run for over 100 yards easy.

Vandy is going to be ready to pay back all those butt whippings Tennessee put on them in the past. Plus Vandy is simply a much better team than Tenn. The only reason the line isn't over 7 is because of public perception.

YACKER · Answer

Give me a fucking break with Georgia at the top! This team was TERRIBLE against Florida but Florida just couldn't help themselves. They trailed until late in the half against Ole Miss and they beat Auburn (who hasn't). This team got blown out by South Carolina and almost lost to Kentucky. Body of work man!

If they had played the stretch of games that Bama just did they would have went 1-2. Bama is still the best team in the SEC. They ran into a hot QB after an emotional win. Hats off to A&M and they would likely come in at #2 IMO but scheduling and how you play all year have to account for something when you rank teams. Coming into the season EVERYONE talked about the relative ease of Georgia's schedule and it is.

I will be all over Georgia in the SEC championship game.The one thing Alabama has over the other SEC teams is the official close their eyes when t comes to Alabama on holding and on pass interference calls. If not for very poor officiating in th A&amp;M game Alabama would have lost by 3 touchdowns.

Numero_Uno · Answer

Speaking of A&amp;M, you may consider taking a look at them at -28 this weekend against Sam Houston.  I realize they are susceptible to a huge letdown, but a couple of things there.  First off, this is an FCS school.  Granted, it is a good FCS school, but an FCS school nonetheless.  Second, Sumlin can&#x27;t afford to let this game be anything other than an absolute blow out.  If he wants to get a BCS bid (which is he has a shot at doing) he needs to blow our Sam and beat Missouri pretty easily as well.  Third, this is the first home game in a month for the Ags.  They will likely be amped to play in front of the home crowd again.

CarterSECpicks · Answer

A&amp;M may bury Sam Houston but ther is No way I would bet on A&amp;M this weekend. My bet is they will just show up and go through the motions. I want play this game but if I were forced to I would play the dog.

If you are watching a game and you WANT to see something then you will see it. I saw in another thread that "A&amp;M is just better than Bama". They beat Bama and I give them full credit but schedule means a lot and Bama was coming out of a war the week before and A&amp;M was talking how this was their biggest game in years. Bama played poorly and the secondary continues to unimpress at times but the timing of this game had as much to do with the result as anything. No I don&#x27;t believe that Bama should be in the NC hunt unless one of the three top teams lose but they are still the best team in the country and LSU and A&amp;M would both be in the top 5. Notre Dame would have at least 2 losses with Bama&#x27;s schedule. Oregon is very good and a tough matchup for Bama but it would be a great game.&#xD;&#xA;Georgia is a mirage. They are lucky they have the easiest schedule in the SEC.

Lynyrd · Answer

How about Miss St at home -7 against Arky ?

CarterSECpicks · Answer

Mississippi state is a big mystery to me. Normally I would be all over ms st. Their strength is against Arkansas&#x27;s weakness. MSU passes the ball well and Arkansas can&#x27;t defend the pass. The no brainier bet is MSU and will probably be a play for me but I just haven&#x27;tulled the trigger yet.  MSU&#x27;s coaching scares me. I don&#x27;t think they are a good coached football team.  Do you know that Coach Mullen has only one win against a team that he was an underdog to. that!s in almost 4 full years people. He does a good job of beating the teams he is suppose to but cannot beat a team he is underdog to. If Mullen loses this weekend to Arkansas there will be some rumblings in Starkville and he could be the next SEC coach on the hot seat.

packers1992 · Answer

carter if you don&#x27;t mind your thoughts on the suspension of Mizzou DT Sheldon Richardson/how that will affect Mizzou?

CarterSECpicks · Answer

I think it is  a  shame this kid is so shellfish that he has no concern for his team. Sheldon is as most say the best defensive player on the Mizzou&#x27;s team. This is a must game for Mizzou&#x27;s to go bowling with A&amp;M on deck. Having said this it is tough to lay points to one of the better offensive teams in the country with out your best defender.
