Dirty secret: Cats fans should be rooting against the SEC in non-conference games from here on out. Auburn spit the bit tonight, as you predicted. If AU cannot win at Ole Miss next week, it stares 5-7 squarely in the face.

I misread LSU-Georgia line in USA Today this morning. (Small type, and I’m getting old.) Thanks for the heads-up. But I’m sticking with my pick on that one.

I like our defense as well S. Smith, but with our young offense matched up against Florida’s defense you can count on Florida’s potent offense to be in good field position all day. This is just a bad matchup for the team we have this year, and the only game I don’t think we have a shot to win. FL 41 UK 6

LSU is -1.5 not 11.5.

You are wrong about the GA/LSU line. It’s not 11.5? Not sure who your bookie is but let me have his #. The line is LSU -1.5 or 2 depending on where you look on what day. LSU does cover the spread, but it won’t be near the offensive scorefest you predict. 20-14 LSU covers.
CAT’s going into this game with their ears pinned back. They have nothing to lose, so watch out for Phillips to dig deep in the ole’ playbook. CAT’s unfortunately fall short, but closer than the “experts” think. FLA 33 CATS 20.

Have to agree that this one could get out of hand fast. Might be better suited to bench the starters at the half and rest up for next week’s game. Of course, I also said this about the Alabama game…

And I have to admit, the mean-spirited side of me would snicker if Vandy were to lose the rest of their games this season and once again finish 5-7.

I do have more-than-zero confidence in defense, I just think this is probably its toughest matchup of the year. Florida runs that spread, has a tough quarterback, and has small, fast backs which have given Cats trouble. Remember that little scatback from Middle Tennessee? And Michael Smith?

Gee John,

Why do you have zero confidence in the UK Defense? Gators by 15 at most.
