I am back and my return piece is controversial.

I decided to resume my blogging with an article sure to anger a number of members of the Alabama fan base, such as all of them.

SEC Predictions for Week 7

SU 38-12
ATS 25-20

Things have not gone as well as of late as they were earlier in the year. Overall I am only 53% ATS this year, but i am still 56% in the SEC. I am 76% SU but that is easy to do in this league.

Ole Miss +21 Alabama
I want to say Alabama will blow Ole Miss out, but I have a gut The Rebels will hang around for a while before Bama pulls away, take the Tide SU and Ole Miss ATS.
Alabama 35, Ole Miss 17

Mississippi State +7.5 Florida
Here is the upset of the week. Florida is struggling. State is striving. After I ripped State's offense, they have improved. I think State will dominate the gator offense. State's D is better than Alabama's and right there (I think better than) LSU's. Look for State to win a low scoring slug-fest.
Mississippi State 17, Florida 13

South Carolina -5 Kentucky
Trap game? I do not think so. Spurrier has harped about not falling into this hole ever since beating Alabama. The Cocks will be ready and they will be the next team to torch poor old Kentucky's lowly defense. The Roosters will be crowing in celebration come Saturday night.
Carolina 35, Kentucky 14

Georgia -14 Vanderbilt
Georgia finally looked like Georgia. Expect things to be the same this week. I thought Vandy was decent until UCONN whipped their ass. No more. Vandy loses big again and Georgia takes one more step out of the SEC Cellar.
Georgia 42, Vandy 13

LSU 49, McNeese State 7

Auburn -4 Arkansas
Cam Newton cannot be stopped. Arkansas will torch Auburn through the air, but i think Auburn comes out on top in the shootout. Cam is too good of a player and a leader to let these boys slip now.
Auburn 38, Arkansas 31
