Writeups

Georgia- The Bulldogs have been an up and down team and when they are up then they are unstoppable and when they are down then they are bad. With no pressure on them today, I like them to be up and to bring it to Auburn. Auburn had the inexplicable loss last week and will keep attacking on offense however their defense will not be able to keep pace. Georgia will get enough big stops to pull off the "upset"

Arkansas- The Razorbacks are in a position to finally get their first SEC win of the year. The Hogs have been grinding and eventhough every one focuses on their offense, their defense has been really solid especially at home. LSU will be coming in off a tough loss and with their one dimensional team they will be in trouble from start to finish in this one.

Illlinois- The Illini are still in position to qualify for a bowl with a win today and then one more win. Iowa is coming off a big loss. The motivation is in place for Illinois and Iowa will not come in extra motivated. The Hawkeyes are the better team but Illinois will give them their best game will cover the 3.5.

Duke- The low total scares me a little however I do like both teams to open things up. Va Tech has not been able to rely on their defense and will need to score if they want to win. Duke will be happy to get in a shoot out and if they have the chance, then they will not hesitate to run up the score. Both scenarios will get us the over.

Ga Tech- Both of these teams will rely on their strengths and both teams are strong offensively and not so much defensively. Clemson will be in a tough spot to stop Ga Tech's option after playing against many pass first team. Ga Tech in general does not play the pass well. Look for a fun game and the over to roll in.

Navy- Ga. Southern is a fashionable pick but don't fall for it. Navy will be primed for this one. They need the win and are at home. If their is a team that you can rely on to be focused then Navy is it.
