Title: Predict Your Team's Wins and Losses for 2017 Here
Post by: Cincydawg on July 23, 2017, 08:26:05 AM

In all my years of trying, I think I got this completely right one time, maybe. 

I have losses at Florida and Auburn, winning the rest.  That would be a good year with a tough ending.

Appy State is pivotal in seeing if our OL has any gumption this year.  If not, my prediction is way optimistic and we'll be more like 8-5 again, if that.

Adopting Auburn as my SEC team since a booster has been kind enough to set me up with tickets on a yearly basis:

Auburn goes 10-2 (losses to Alabama and Arkansas, beating Clemson on road) and earns a major Sugar/Peach level Bowl.

15-0 leaving no doubt as to which is the best team in the Nation. Of course I think this every year. Going to happen before Saban hangs it up. And when it does it might be when he hangs it up. So everybody needs to jump on this bandwagon to get rid of him. :)

Vegas has the over/under for the Hogs at 7. I like the over. 8-4 or 9-3. The only two teams I give them definite losses are Bama and AU. There's several games that could go either way. Hopefully this is the year Bielema breaks through. He's running out of time.

Interesting depiction of where Chubb had first contact versus Fornette.


An OL would put Chubb into a top ten draft position I think.

For UGA:
1) Will the OLine improve from last year? It can't be worse.....can it?
2) Will Jacob Eason make significant improvement from last year to this in terms of accuracy? An improved OLine would certainly help in that regard.
3) Will our receivers catch the damn ball consistently?
4) Will a punter emerge that can punt farther than a high schooler?

Defense returns 10 starters, should be good and will put UGA in a position to win every game, offense and special teams has to do their part.

I'm going with 9-3.
