Week 10 SEC Picks!!! (But no service academy or Sun Belt...womp womp)


(See what I did there??)

Uncle Ned @ Florida:  I can't believe I am actually going to write this, but the 'Dores might could maybe win this one.  My apologies to former #63 of the Day, Trip Thurman, but the Gators aren't playin well right now.  Combine that with Uncle Ned's boys playin really well actually, and you have the makings for a potential historic upset (or really bad loss, depending on the fan base of which you are a member).  Jordan Rodgers has improved each game he has been a starter, as a result so has the offense.  If Vandy can grab this one, you can basically mark it down for a bowl game for them.  UPSET SPECIAL!!!!!!!  OUR PICK:  Uncle Ned pulls it off!!

New Mexico State @ Georgia:  I can't really make fun of this game because the Gamecocks play a lesser opponent (The Citadel) at an even later date (November 19th) but I still hate this game.  Georgia will have no trouble with this one, at all.  Even though their top four rushers will be out,  One because of an injury, and three because they failed a drug test...last week...before the Florida game.  Yeah, that Mark Richt is a disciplinarian huh?  OUR PICK:  Georgia

Aunt Kathy @ Herp Derp Nation:  I don't think anyone will be at this game.  Seriously, I'm gonna predict Commonwealth Stadium (that's the home field of Herp Derp Nation for those who didn't know...which was all of you) will not even be as full as last week, when it looked like this:
Commonwealth Stadium: Kentucky football fans have abandoned 'Cats
OUR PICK:  No one.  No one wins if this game is played.

Middle Tennessee St @ Tennessee:  The most heated rivalry in allll of Middle and Eastern Tennessee!  The Blue Raiders will march into Neyland Stadium and try and steal one.  The two headed monster of Matt Simms and Justin Worley (once again awesome move by Derek Dooley burning a redshirt to use a guy for 3.5 quarters...building a program everybody!!) should be enough to beat Rick Stockstill's boys.  After all this is not the strongest MTSU team in history.  Which brings me to this question: Name the greatest team in Blue Raider history.  Any team will be accepted...  OUR PICK:  Tennessee

South Carolina @ Arkansas:  (Insert sweaty armpits for Gamecock fans).  This one scares the s word out of me.  We don't ever play well against Arkansas,  we don't ever play well in Arkansas, and we don't ever play well when we are ranked highly.  So yeah everything lines up for us.  It should actually be a good game though, a very good Carolina defense vs a very good Razorback offense.  It will be exciting at least.  Not sure if people are going to pay attention when the other sides of the ball are playing.  Of course it's all a moot point, cause 45 minutes after kickoff, the LSU/Alabama game comes on.  Well, here's to hoping this games sticks with old school football thoughts; a good defense will beat a good offense.  OUR PICK:  South Carolina

TN-Martin @ Mississippi State:  Same thing applies to this game as applied to the Georgia/New Mexico State game.  Why is this game being played now?  Honestly, this is why we expanded the season to 12 games??  For late season games like this??  Ohhhhh yeah Davis-Wade Stadium is gonna be rockin with this one.  I mean it’s a great environment to begin with, as noted by Mr and Mrs Gamblin’ Boss, and then you add a great opponent like the Skyhawks (alma mater of former Gamecock great Cade Thompson) and man you just have the makings of a Fox Sports-Starkville classic.  Feel good about yourselves on the way to the Poulan Weed Eater Bowl Dan Mullen!  OUR PICK:  Mississippi State

LSU @ Alabama:  Well this is supposed to be the latest and greatest version of the Game of the Century, so the rest of this game summary will be written in caps lock, due to the magnitude of this matchup (insert throat clearing):  OH MY GOD OH MY GOD!!  THIS IS THE GREATEST GAME OF THE CENTURY…FOREVER!  WELL AT LEAST UNTIL THE NEXT GAME OF THE CENTURY!!!  THESE COULD BE TWO OF THE HISTORICALLY GREATEST DEFENSES OF ALL TIME, COUPLED WITH TWO OF THE MOST MIDDLE OF THE ROAD MEDIOCRE OFFENSES.  I’M PRETTY SURE THIS GAME IS GONNA END 10-6, SOME PEOPLE (COLIN COWHERD) THINK BECAUSE THE DEFENSES ARE SO HIGHLY REGARDED THAT THE GAME WILL ACTUALLY BE AN OFFENSIVE SHOOTOUT.  I DISAGREE, THIS ONE WILL FOLLOW THE SCRIPT!!  OUR PICK:  Alabama

And last but not least, I give you David Bennett:

You're damn right we need more dogs, David Bennett. That's why you also need to watch this video:
