Week 6 Predictions

Nebraska @ Mizzou – I’m not sure what to make of the Big12 North but this is the biggest game so far. Mizzou has looked great against a bad Illinois team and bad against a MAC team. Nebraska lost a heartbreaker at VT but otherwise was solid against a heaping pile of trash. If this were in Lincoln, I’d take Big Red. It isn’t.
Mizzou: 27
Nebraska: 24

Georgia @ Tennessee – UGA is coming off a heartbreaking loss against LSU. Tennessee has yet to beat a decent team but has kept it somewhat close in their 3 losses. We all hope UTe loses because Kiffin is a fucking baby and well, Tennessee is just easy to hate. However, UT has the 19th ranked overall defense and UGA is bringing in the 86th ranked offense. In Knoxville, with Monte Kiffin running the D leads me to believe Tennessee gets their first SEC win.
Tennessee: 20
Georgia: 13


Alabama @ Ole Miss – I hate Nick Saban almost as much as a Spartan, but the man can coach. I think he has Alabama focused on rolling over everyone in their path and this game will go a long way in deciding who plays for the SECw in the SECCG. Alabama is 14th in total O and 2nd in total D, while Ole Miss has already been exposed as the frauds that they are in S. Carolina. The Ole Miss offense ranks 59th overall. That isn’t going to get it done against that D. Prove me wrong Ole Miss. Beat a decent team.
Alabama: 34
Ole Miss: 17

Wisconsin @ Ohio State - Wisconsin might be the surprise team of the year thus far. They are 5-0 heading in the horseshoe where they had had some success winning. Under Barry Alvarez. Barry is long gone and Ohio State, I think, has found their groove after the loss to USC in week 2. Ohio State is average on offense but the combo of Columbus, Pryor and Wisconsin finally getting exposed equals a close Ohio State win.
Ohio State: 27
Wisconsin: 21


Michigan @ Iowa – Michigan can score and Iowa seems to be focused only during a big game. A win here and Iowa should be undefeated going into Ohio State in early November. I think Iowa will be ready and I think the hot start by Michigan was largely against poor teams and a good one who can’t play defense (Notre Dame). MSU was better than there 1-3 record showed last week. Iowa is tough to score on and Michigan is an abysmal 91st in total defense.
Iowa: 35
Michigan: 24



Florida @ LSU
Teams ranks:
Total Offense – UF (3rd), LSU (99th)
Total Defense - UF (1st), LSU (40th)

I know, I know, Florida has yet to play anyone. Being 99th in total offense is reserved for the Miami (OH) types, not a premier national program. Everything about the offense is bad and trying to get it turned around on the #1 D in the country isn’t going to be easy. Tim Tebow would go a long way in deciding this game but either way, I’ll give you 1 score. I see Tebow playing and leading UF to victory. I see UF shutting down LSU in the most overrated home field advantage in NCAA football. The real Tiger Stadium was torn down in Detroit and the piece of shit in Baton Sucks will be home to 90,000+ crying bitches this Saturday night.
Jorts: 31
Corn Dogs: 10
