Had a great start to my SEC season last week with a 7-0-1 record. On the other hand, my leans went 0-4, but that's why they were leans.
The action really starts to heat up now in the nation's best conference for college football. Looks like I've got 6 bets and 6 leans... but if the lines move any that might change.
LSwho at Awbarn
This game could be for the SEC West Championship according to several "experts". I'm not willing to go that far, it is the SEC after all, but the winner definitely will have a leg up on the rest of the division. The road team has not won in this series since 1998. Only 14 points have separated these two teams in the last four meetings with each team winning twice. The Bayou Bengals come into this game having feasted on Appy State and North Texas. Auburn has already popped their conference cherry with a hard fought 3-2 win at Mississippi State last weekend. If you love defense, then tune in to this game because the LSwho "D" is as nasty as ever and War Eagle has a pretty stout one as well. Tony Franklin's offense, on the other hand, hasn't exactly had the scoreboards going on TILT and LSwho is still trying to fill in some gaps in their offense as well. The passing game isn't setting any records at Awbarn so I'm guessing that LSwho won't have to worry about the long ball or a bunch of points. Again, the Bayou Bengals have gotten fat on a couple of cupcakes, so we really don't have an idea what the offense will do against a "D" as good as Awbies. LSwho did lose a big part of their "D" when LB Darry Beckwith sustained a knee injury last weekend. Awbie TB Brad Lester (sprained neck) is still listed as questionable for Saturday's game, although the coaching staff says barring any unforseen setback that he will play. He's the 2nd leading rusher for War Eagle and has started all three games this season. My gut tells me the Tigers win this game :SIB ... seriously though I think the main difference is that LSwho has a better offense and when points will be scarce, that's what I'm looking for. Throw in the fact that Awbarn has had trouble hanging onto the football (6 fumbles and 2 INTs) and that's a recipe for disaster. Field position will definitely be a premium in this defensive match-up. It's hard to pass up Awbie getting points at home, but unless this line moves one way or the other, it's a non-play for me.
My prediction is Bayou Bengals 13-9.
My lean is LSwho -2.5
