Preview of Week 6 in the SEC

This weekend brings a couple of intriguing match ups in the SEC, with one of them having HUGE implications in the SEC East.  With South Carolina losing to Auburn, the SEC East is wide open.  If Florida hadn't lost Brantley last week against Bama, I would make the Gators my top choice at taking advantage of the Gamecock stumble.  Having that been said, the match up between UGA and UT in Knoxville puts the winner of the game in prime position in the East and possibly get them a trip to Atlanta in early December.  Now, let's look at all the games:

Mississippi State (-18.5) at UAB:  The Blazers have no chance in this one.  I think the Dawgs find that offense from the first of the season.  Mississippi State wins and covers the spread.

Kentucky at South Carolina (-21):  Let's face it, the Kentucky Wildcats are not good this year even when compared to past Kentucky teams.  Even with the benching of Garcia at South Carolina and Connor Shaw getting the nod at QB from the Old Ball Coach, it won't matter who is taking snaps for the Gamecocks.  Lattimore goes nuts and the Cocks win easily!  They cover.

Florida at LSU (-13.5):  This would have been an intriguing match up if Florida hadn't lost Brantley last week but they did and it's not going to be close.  As Coach Lou Holtz said last night on ESPN when talking about Florida's ability to run the ball "can't run the ball against Alabama, LSU and the Green Bay Packers...in that order".  Florida's "leading SEC rushing attack" managed to get all of 15 yards last week and look for more of the same this week since UF depends on being able to get to the outside and then up field.  They aren't going to be able to beat LSU to the corners.  I look for this one to be more of the same that was seen in the Swamp last week.  LSU wins easy and covers the spread.

Georgia (-2) at Tennessee:  This should be an awesome game.  I've went back and forth on this one cause I really like the UT QB, Tyler Bray.  I also think that UT is better coached but UGA has the better athletes and I think that will be the difference in this one.  UGA wins a cloooooose one by a field goal and covers the spread.

Vanderbilt at Alabama (-29):  If Bama can hang the points on Arkansas and Florida then lookout Vandy.  The only thing that is going to decide whether or not Bama covers the spread or not is when Saban pulls the starters.  Bama wins and covers the spread.

Auburn at Arkansas (-10):  This is another great match up this weekend.  The Tigers just know how to lose right now.  With the exception of the Clemson game where they forgot how to tackle, they have been able to squeeze out a win in all the tight ones.  I don't think that it going to happen this weekend.  Auburn's secondary is not good at all and Arkansas is going to come out slinging it.  I think Arkansas wins by at least two touchdowns and covers.
