PIG'S PICKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Another great week of games and another edition of Pig's Picks...your source for making a lot of money without working. Looking at this week's slate of games in the SEC I have decided this week is "Egyptian Cotton Week". These lines are so big there is no way the underdogs cant cover these spreads. Egyptian cotton covers....get it?



Game 1: Tennessee vs. Mississippi State (Tennessee by 7 1/2)


Ah yes its been another exciting week for an Alabama fan living in the Volunteer state. Both of these teams have underachieved this season giving their preseason expectations. Tennessee was ranked looking to repeat as SEC East champs and Miss St. was looking to turn the corner after their first bowl appearance under Sly Croom. This game is in Knoxville so I understand throwing the Vols a few points but 7 1/2 is a lot and the Bulldogs are coming off a big win over Vandy last weekend. I see this game coming down to the wire with the Fightin' Sly Crooms' covering this spread.

PIG'S PICK: Mississippi State to cover



Game 2: # 10 Georgia vs. # 22 Vanderbilt ( Georgia by 15)

Conventional wisdom and years of playing each other would leave the average mind to say "Georgia is good, Vandy is Vandy and there is no way the Dawgs won't cover." Good thing I am a genius. Here are some facts. Georgia is not as good as we thought they were. Vandy is better than we thought they were but not great. Georgia has more talent than the Dores. Vandy has a lot of heart and will play UGA hard. People see the name Vandy and assume they are terrible, but this team is not. Go against your conventional wisdom and go with Pig. Take the Dores to cover.

PIG'S PICK: Vandy to cover



# 13 LSU at South Carolina (LSU by 2 1/2)

Holy smokes how LSU got smoked last weekend and I have to admit I loved it!!!!! On the other side South Carolina has been hot as a firecracker lately and gets the Bayou Bengals in Columbia. Everything looks ripe for an upset in this one but NOT SO FAST MY FRIEND!!!!! While South Carolina will play for the Tigers hard LSU will have to much talent in the end and pull away from the Gamecocks. On a side note I really hope I am wrong for Alabama's sake and South Carolina wins and have their ever been two crazier coaches than Spurrier and Miles going against each other?

PIG'S PICK: LSU


Arkansas at Kentucky ( Kentucky by 7 1/2)


These two teams are just not very good and average at best. Kentucky just does not have the talent on the offensive side of the ball and Arkansas is young, rebuilding, and adjusting to Bobby Petrino. The Hogs did score a huge win at awwwwburn last weekend (hahaha). Anyway you don't need to hear about this game because I know you do not care. This one will be close with Kentucky winning in the end and the Hogs cover.


PIG'S PICK: Arkansas to cover


# 2 Alabama vs. Ole Miss (Alabama by 12 1/2)

Ohhhh how I hate this game. Both teams are coming off a bye week so they should be well prepared for each other and relatively healthy. I say I hate this game for a few reasons. 1. We tend to play a lot better as the underdog (Clemson and Georgia) and struggle as big favorites (Tulane and Kentucky). The key to this one is getting to Rebel's QB Jevan Sneed and making him feel uncomfortable. If Alabama lets him sit in the pocket all day he will find open guys. On the other hand I think Alabama will be ready for this one. Ole Miss beating Florida at home a few weeks ago can do nothing but help us be ready to go. I also like the game being in Tuscaloosa. I like the Tide to win, just don't think it will be by 13 plus.

PIG'S PICK: Ole Miss (to cover, Alabama will win the game)
