This week in the SEC….Nuke’s Pix

Saturday in the SEC, it just don’t get better’n ‘dat.
As hard as it is to pick against the home field advantage, this week will see some surprises, and some road wins. You read it here first, folks.
In the early game, Bama travels to Stark Vegas to take on the Dogs…….This will be one of the most physical games of the year, for both teams. Coming off a heart-breaking loss to LSU, Bama will start out flat against the rested Dogs. That will be the difference in this low-scoring affair…….This week’s upset special, State over Bama by a TD.
The Razorbacks travel to Knoxville, and this one presents one of the more intriguing matchups of the week. Darren McFadden is so good he’s scary. The Vols defense will get a test, but the home field will make the difference. Rocky Top will be heard early and often, as will the call of the hogs in a high scoring affair. Tennessee by a FG
Kentucky at Vandy should be a great matchup, but coming off an open week after being humiliated by Mississippi State, the Wildcats will have something to prove. Kentucky by 21
Auburn travels to Athens for the CBS game of the week. The road team has won 11 of the last 14 in this hard-hitting series. Make it 11 of 15 as Georgia takes a close one.
Florida goes to USC, on ESPN, and takes on the old ball coach on his home turf. All the experts are picking the Gators. Nuke’s 2nd upset special of the week …..USC winning with ball control and an inspired defensive effort.
LSU polishes up their BCS ratings by entertaining Louisiana Tech in a cross-state massacre. Although Tech dreams of the upset, the dream gets crushed when the game begins. LSU scores early and often and wins by a basketball score.
Those are my picks folks…..What say you?

I think Gators over gameycocks, but it should be a good’un.
UGA and AU should have a “Gallagher” disclaimer, that everyone in the front five rows will get wet. There will be slobber, snot, and blood flying in this one.
State over Bama? It could happen.
I don’t know if the Hogs have enough D to keep the Vols off of the field, and when the Hogs have the ball, the Vol D will be scheming and scamming, to stop D Mac.
Not as exciting a week nationwide as we have had recently, but hey…it’s still football.
Just got done installing a more powerful power supply in my new puter, and it improved my performance score. Now all I need is a better graphics card.
Halftime in Starkville, State over Bama 10-9.
Play of the half occurs with 24 seconds left, Bama has 3rd and goal from the 2, Titus Brown pressures John Parker Wilson into an ill-advised pass which is intercepted 3 yards deep in the endzone by AJ Johnson. AJ takes it to the house…..103 yards.
Go Dogs!
It’s final in Starkville

Can you say snow in Shreveport?
I think that fat lady is standing up and yodeling at this point (Auburn 20, Georgia 45) in the 4th quarter.
I need to find out Nuke’s definition of “close”, I suppose.
SwampMan is getting a little impatient for dinner, but hey, he’s watching a movie and I’m watching Georgia football. He’s gonna have to wait (or learn to cook).
Georgia! Georgia! Georgia!
/Okay, guess SwampMan gets to eat tonight.
close==as in the same stadium.
heh
Oh…I thought you meant close as in the same conference.
/henh
The UGAHS still need for Tennessee to lose a game, to give them a shot at the conference championship.
Tenn has Vandy at home and KY on the road.
So, if Kansas wins big over OSU tonight, and Lahtek keeps LSU under a half a hundred, will the Jayhawks jump big…being the only undefeated team in the top ten?
/i don’t think so
