So before the games actually start today, how about some predictions? No. 2 LSU is hosting the Blue Raiders of MTSU in a pillow game between Virginia Tech and South Carolina. MTSU put up 42 points on No. 9 Louisville last week, so they have a powerful offense. Or Louisville”s defense is just that weak - the Blue Raiders only managed 14 points against Florida Atlantic in their opener.
I”m tempted to call this a scare game that gets closer than it should. But I”m going with the as-expected outcome.
LSU 41 - 10
Elsewhere in the SEC:
No. 3 Florida hosts No. 24 Tennessee. The Gators have looked strong on both sides of the ball, and Tennessee has yet to show they can stop anybody on defense. Florida 38 - 31
No. 16 Arkansas at Alabama. Trickeration by Arkansas vs. Nick Saban”s defensive brain. Alabama has looked solid enough on offense, but neither team has faced much of a test yet. Alabama 17 - 16
South Carolina State at No. 23 South Carolina. Spurrier”s scrimmage before the trip to Baton Rouge. South Carolina 38 - 10
Western Carolina at No. 24 Georgia. Angry, angry dawgs. Georgia 45 - 7
No. 9 Louisville at Kentucky. The team that”s all offense and no defense vs. the team that”s mostly offense with a little defense. Kentucky 70 - 66
Mississippi State at Auburn. The Tigers enter SEC play with an unimpressive win over Kansas State and a loss to South Florida. Their hopes to stay relevant in the conference start here. Auburn 20 - 13
Ole Miss at Vanderbilt. I like the “Dores here. Vandy 27 - 15
