🏈 SEC East race: UT vs UGA; Mizzou vs UofSC (w/ PJ's Picks)

Tennessee at Georgia

This is an interesting game from two perspectives. Tennessee played credibly against Oklahoma before losing two weeks ago. Georgia's supposedly good defense was shredded by Dylan Thompson and the Gamecocks. Tennessee would love a win to signify they are headed up in the SEC scheme of things, while another conference loss would be disastrous for Georgia playoff hopes, and put them in trouble in trying to win the SEC East. The young Vol offense is not as potent as South Carolina's, so the Dawg defense will not be as stressed. Georgia's high powered offense will roll this weekend.

PJ's Pick: Georgia 37 Tennessee 27
 
Missouri at South Carolina

Before the season I thought that South Carolina was a very good team. Until last weekend I was beginning to believe Missouri was a very good team. This is a game that is hard to figure. Maty Mauk may be the best QB in the SEC, and Dylan Thompson would be in that conversation as well. The Gamecocks are tough at home, and I find it hard to believe that a Lorenzo Ward defense will continue to be as porous as it has been. This will be quite a struggle.

I don't like this game because I simply don't like either team. It looks like I'll have two weeks in a row where at least a small part of me will be pulling for UT. 1) I've said I thought they'd pull off a notable upset this season: this game is as good as any. 1a) It'd mean UGA's season sunk. 2) The implosion in the Eastern Division makes for an interesting story line and makes the strongest case for two teams from the west to make the playoffs (not that I'm expecting that.)

Now, as to the Sportsbook...hrrmmm.

Last time UT won? 2009, with Kiffin. Last blow out? 2010 with Dooley in his first year. The last three games decided by what we can call a touchdown or less—last year a field goal.

In Athens...UGA giving 17? A noon kickoff tells you what kind of audience (TV) is expected...geez. This game scares me but IF I were going to play the spread I'd be real tempted to give Tennessee a lot of thought.

Over 55.5.

Missouri at South Carolina

PJ's Pick: South Carolina 37 Missouri 31

Last weekend I took Mizzou. I killed that three team parlay, but Que Sera, Sera. Then I thought about it...thought about it being a loss to a B1G team, and finally I end up thinking back to the softball season and their coach's remark about "busch league." SO, I decided to jump all over myself for picking Mizzou.

I like UofSC but look at the total and that seems about right. Giving 5.5? Gut tells me that's low. However, taking UofSC and the money line.

Terry, I really think that the over is one of the best 'investments' of the week. I like the over on the Zou/SC game, though not quite as much.

This will be the third money line I've played here. The UGA ML last week (100/260) paid out over $2500 ($6700+ bet.) The UofSC line is currently running 100/220.
