Except for the top 2, all these games could go either way obviously.  A lot of unpredictable teams up there.

Alabama 34  Arky 16

UGA 52  Vandy 9

UF  26  USCe  24

Tenn 31  A&M  20

LSU  37  Aubbie  17

UK  24  Mizzou 20

Everything from 4-8 to 10-2 is on the table. 

The key each week will be if an opponent's pass rush can overwhelm LSU's protection.  Most obvious candidates are Texas A&M and Alabama, but you never know when a bad matchup or a bad day at the office is coming.  If that happens and LSU struggles to move the ball, they lose because the defense can't carry the day in a single game, no matter how "inferior" the team.  If Daniels has some time and the occasional escape lane, it's game on and the offense will scramble for the finish line hanging on for dear life, hoping to outrace the other team's offense.  

The way I see it, LSU's O-line and protection schemes have to hold up in order to achieve coin-flip status.  If a defensive front can wreck that, there's not much path to victory.  Nothing to do now but see how it pans out every week.  

I can't believe I'm saying this, but if the defense could hold opponents to "only" a TD and a FG per quarter, this team would have a reasonable shot to beat just about anyone.  Unfortunately, that "if" seems far-fetched.  

You need to pick me up for the next week's games as I'll be out of town a bit.

Cincy got Florida by 2 right, just didn't see all the offense happening.

I love that UK has lost its past 2 games after beating us.  They blew their wad on beating the Mighty Gators.  

I got A&M/UT wrong, I picked the Ags to win close. 

Beck is slowly checking the boxes on the progression to becoming a top QB.  With Bowers healthy, this could be a very good offense by year's end.  I'm starting to buy what Kirby was selling pre-season about how this defense isn't the same as the past couple years.

Arkansas' super-power is they can play just about anyone close.  Bama's superpower is even though Milroe is still a sub-par QB, he's suddenly pretty awesome at deep balls. 

Did not watch UF/USC....score looks like it was entertaining tho.

Missouri/UK....kinda how I thought.....I think....can't honestly remember who I liked in that game. 

How bad are Auburn's and MSU's offenses that they can't ring up scores on LSU's defense?  I'm starting to believe Aaron Murray when he says LSU's OL is the best in the conference.  Even short a starting RT, they acquitted themselves well vs. a pretty good AU front.
