Season record: 17-12-1 Last week: 2-3 (Illinois +19.5, Ole Miss +3, Alabama -21.5, Houston -14, Oklahoma State -3.5) Last week was my worst week to date. It got off to an awful start with Wisconsin burying Illinois 45-7. Freshman Graham Mertz outplayed my expectations, throwing five touchdowns and only one incompletion. Mertz has a bright…

Season record: 15-9-1 Last week: 3-1 (BYU -5, Clemson -27, Kentucky +6, Georgia +6.5) After a near perfect week, my record moves to 62% on the year. The lone loss came at the hands of Alabama. Let me assure you that I will not be betting against them the rest of the season. And now…

Game of the Week Georgia at Alabama Georgia and Alabama meet for the first time since the 2018 SEC Championship. Jalen Hurts came off the bench to lead the Crimson Tide to a comeback win after Tua Tagovailoa was injured. This game expects to play a role in who goes to not only the SEC…

Game of the Week Tennessee at Georgia The only matchup of undefeated teams this week is Tennessee traveling to take on Georgia. Both have been impressive thus far. For Georgia, it has been due to a dominant defense and unheralded quarterback. For Tennessee, it has been a commitment to the running game. Georgia’s defense has…

Season record: 9-6-1 Last week: 4-1 (Texas -13, Alabama -17, Oklahoma State -17, Auburn/Georgia under 45, Oklahoma/Iowa State over 62.5) I should have known better than to pick Texas.

Game of the Week Auburn at Georgia Auburn meets Georgia “between the hedges” of Sanford Stadium for a top 10 matchup. #7 Auburn opened the season with a win over Kentucky, while #4 Georgia beat Arkansas. Auburn quarterback Bo Nix threw for three touchdowns in the win. Two were to junior wide receiver Seth Williams.…
