bigironpicks, Week 11

• Tennessee @ Mississippi -5 - Tennessee seems to be the popular pick here, but let's be clear:  the Vols are a 5-4 team.  They've played Alabama and Florida pretty close on the road in their only 2 road games thus far this year, but ultimately they are one of 8 SEC teams with either 3 or 4 conference losses.  The middle of the SEC is pretty fat this year, and Ole Miss can handle a middle-of-the-road SEC team at home. Lean to Ole Miss
  
• Kentucky -3 @ Vanderbilt - The perennial battle for the SEC East basement has now turned into the battle to see whether or not Vandy can get their one conference win this season in this game.  If UK and Vandy didn't have a history of playing games that were so close, the Cats would be a much bigger favorite.  I'm leaning to UK.
• Florida @ South Carolina +16 - Double-digit SEC dogs have made me money this year, and I'm not about to stop now.  Lean SCAR.
• La. Tech +24 @ LSU - LSU gets a break from SEC play for a week, but La. Tech isn't the pushover that Tulane was... or UL-Monroe.  I'm leaning La. Tech here (to cover, not win).
• Alabama @ Mississippi State +12.5 - The seniors on this team remember the humiliation of losing to Mississippi State twice, and they won't let it happen again.  I would lean to Bama, but I still gotta stick with the double-digit SEC dog.
• Auburn +4 @ Georgia - What shocks me more than the fact that Georgia is the favorite here is the fact that the Dawgs are actually getting more of the betting action than Auburn.    Georgia sucks this year... take the WarPlainsTigerChupacabraPlatypi
• Troy @ Arkansas -13.5 - The men of Troy will crush the Hogs into a fine powder just like they did a few years ago... ... what?  These is the men of Troy, Alabama?  Ah... never mind then.
  

• Florida @ SCAR +16 - See write-up above
• Alabama @ Mississippi St. +12 - See write-up above
• Texas -23.5 @ Baylor - Mack Brown loves running up the score, and is trying to win Colt Mc a Heisman.
• aTm @ Oklahoma -20 - I would have liked this to be -17, but I'll still take it at -20.  The Aggies got lucky and caught a bad Texas Tech team on a down week... not happening this week.
• San Jose St. @ Utah St. -12.5 - ... show me a blue-blooded Aggie from Utah who doesn't love the spot where the sagebrush grows. 
  
• Idaho +31 @ Boise St. - In 90% of the situations where Boise is laying points at home, I'd take them. They're  at home. Idaho, however, has been a covering machine until they started getting respect the last 3 weeks, over which they were 0-3.  The Vandals play on the smurf-turf every other year, so they won't be intimidated by the experience.  Also, Boise is their #1 rival, and the Broncos think of them like the SEC thinks of Vanderbilt.  They'll lose, but they'll keep it closer than 5 scores.
• New Mexico St. @ Hawai'i -18.5 - I had to look twice when my capping method highlighted this as a play.  I've got to admit it looks interesting, though, so I'm running with it.
• UNLV @ Air Force -17 - UNLV not good in general, and especially against better teams on the road. 
  
• Utah @ TCU -20 - People still think Utah is good this year, even though they haven't beaten any good teams.  TCU will be trying to make a case for moving even further up in the polls if the big teams lose, and will roll big.
• Bowling Green (OH) @ Miami (OH) +3.5 - Thurday night home dog.

Lean the same way with most of your picks.  I had a lean towards Tenn (more a fade of Ole Miss) but I do like Auburn a lot.

good to see your thoughts on those bigdawg

like that Hawaii pick as well, higher number than expected still may play, offense coming alive and hard to see NM St getting enough

BOL this week bro

I had played Tenn already.  I wouldnt take it now, not that anyone knows what the affect will be.  J. Jackson was already suspended for the game before this incident. 

I was going to play the Tenn ML, but instead I just took Auburn.
