Behold! The rubber meeting the road.
Old Mist +1 This seems like a no-brainer in that it takes no thought or consideration. Which is the usual meaning of no-brainer.
Mizzou +14.5 Did you see Missouri did a star wars thing? Not elaborating.
Georgia Tech +35 Rivalry games, etc.
Florida -2.5 Yes, indeed.
Auburn +19.5 Glad I don't have to do this anymore.
Tennessee -31 Imagining if Chuck-E-Cheese was called Rock-E-Cheese. Wild.
LSU +6.5 Jimmmboooooo
Kentucky +2.5 Not at Kroger Field.
Clemson -11 Well now this seems wrong but whatever.

Old Mist (+1) v Mississippi State: Not sure why I think this but I do
Arkansas (-14.5): seems fine
Georgia (-35) v Georgia Tech: Tune up etc
Florida St. (+2.5) v Florida: When there's an interim coach, it's either a collapse or they play for him, and I'm guessing collapse
Auburn (+19.5): never in doubt
Vanderbilt v Tennessee (-31): Vanderbilt is not good
TAMU (-6.5) v LSU: I expected this line to be a little higher
Kentucky v Louisville (-2.5): Tough pick (because no one cares)
Clemson v South Carolina (+11): Looks like a big line for a struggling Clemson team

New Mexico State at Kentucky (35.5): I think I'm remembering this correctly: when I was in high school I got a New Mexico State polo at the thrift store. When I took the ACT, and it gave you an option of four schools to send your scores to, I couldn't think of four options. So, NMSU was one of the schools that got my score. The other unexpected one? St John's College, the Great Books school.
Arkansas (+20.5) at Alabama: Seems high
Florida (-8.5) at Missouri: Why am I counting on Florida again, when all they do is let me down? You guessed it: I'm a moron
Auburn (-7.5) at South Carolina: Still a moron, but I think that Auburn going with a different quarterback won't be as big a deal.
Vanderbilt at Old Mist (-20000, -36.5): sure
South Alabama (+28) at Tennessee: I've got State Pride
LaMonroe (+29) at LSU: Bad week of games

Demonstrating the difference between relative and absolute wealth: {v}297.38
Just plain bad: {v}50
My picks this week are really a "Beautiful Disaster."
New Mexico St. v Alabama (-51.5): This one is going to have me feeling "Down" from kick off.
Mississippi St. v Auburn (-220): Auburn's SEC title hopes are very small, even marginal, but you've got to stay strong: be "Large in the Margin."
Georgia (-20.5) v Tennessee: Once Georgia goes back to being mediocre the way the Lord intended, they'll want this temporary period of superiority over Tennessee and Florida to be saved in "Amber."
South Carolina (+1) v Mizzou: Who knows who will win a game between two bad teams with big flaws? This one's got me "All Mixed Up."
TAMU (-2.5) v Old Mist: I'm impressed with Lane Kiffin's approach coaching; you can tell his attitude is to "Come Original."
Kentucky v Vanderbilt (+21): Just getting through this game is going to be tough, so if you watch it, stay "Strong All Along."
Arkansas (-2.5) v LSU: I'd like to watch a fight with some trash talk between these coaches, yelling out how they're going to win, yelling "You Can't Fade Me" and getting winded at each other.

Time to double {v}153.13, then double it again, and still be behind. I guess not.

LSU (+28.5) at Alabama: no logic to LSU's results this season.
