Guys, I have been swamped with getting stuff with the new business done while working my current job, so haven't been around much and haven't done a whole lot of capping this week. Got everything done so I can enjoy a beautiful Saturday of football. Will be adding through the day.
SEC thoughts:
Bama: Game has been discussed on here and I've given some thoughts, but anyone who says they know what Bama will look like is just guessing based on what we've seen so far. For me, I'm putting my faith in the Saban revenge angle, plus the year+ of game film he and Smart have on Manziel. If Bama can run the ball well, something they abandoned early last year after getting down so big, Bama will control the game and likely win easily, regardless of what the aTm offense can do. I think the Bama offense will be able to control the clock and the Bama defense will do enough to give them a 2 score win.
AU: Miss St is dogshit. AU isn't much better, but they are better than MSU and they need this one badly or else 5-7 becomes a real possibility. AU by 10 in an ugly low scoring game. Will likely be on the under
Tenny: Blowout city. Oregon will relish the chance to put one on them to show the nation the SEC isn't so big and bad. Too bad UT is like a big east team, but whatever. Ducks by 35
Ole Miss:Tough game to cap. Texas looks like they are really soft and I fear they may have already lost faith in the coaching staff. On the other hand, Ole Miss hasn't won a big game since Eli was QB. I can't put any money on Texas, so I lean Ole Miss + the points, but would not shock me for them to shit the bed or Texas to put out one last great effort to save Mack's job (not that a win over Ole Miss would do that)
SC: Depending on hangover effect here. 2 TDs seems too much to lay in a conference road game. Under looks good too
Ark: Bielema isn't afraid to run up scores as evidenced during his time at Wisky, and that freshman RB is a stud. Ark should cruise and I think laying the points is a winner
No opinion on LSU. They'll win and win easy. Should be another opportunity to get the offense fine tuned before conference play starts.
ANyway, those are off the cuff thoughts, but with a disclaimer that I didn't have a whole bunch of time to look deeply into it. Maybe that's a good thing. Good luck everyone
