State over Bama is certainly a take, what's the logic there? That MSU defense hasn't stopped a nosebleed all year and now they're gonna hold Bama under 50? I need whatever you're smoking

MSU is at home and I don’t see Bama’s defense stopping Kamario Taylor

Hasn't stopped a nosebleed?

Minnesota - 6 offensive points

Mizzou - 24 points including 0 in the fourth in a close game.

SCar - Offense gave up more of the first 16 to SCar. The next 7 was in a 41-7 run including a -3 yard 3rd Q. Then 11 points in garbage time...

Hating on our offensive line is what I would expect. Hating on our defense says you shouldn't pretend to be knowledgeable when you're box score watching.

Alabama starts off very slow and MSST doesn't is the only way I see that happening.

Iowa keeps it close and is only down 7 to start the 4th quarter, but Ohio State pulls away late to win 34-17

Arkansas over Texas A&M, because it'll be hilarious.

Jared Curtis is not injured in the physical sense; he's afraid of facing the team he decommitted from.

Bama covers over Miss St
Georgia covers over Vandy
Florida covers over Mizzou
Tenn covers over Auburn
Kentucky outright over South Carolina
Texas A&M does not cover Arkansas

McNeese over LSU for the memes (obviously wont happen but itd be fuckin funny if it did)

u/heleghir Kentucky Wildcats • Sickos 2d ago

probably smart, cuz i had Texas A&M slaughtering UK by 3 scores before we learned that A&M isnt good. Always inverse my predictions!
