My Picks for Week 4
I am 10-5 through week 3 and looking to get back on track in Week 4. There are several solid matchups to watch this Saturday.
I picked FSU over Clemson already.
Vanderbilt vs Georgia.
Vandy isn't the team many of us hoped they would be this season, but we pull for them anyway, right? In this game, Vandy is pretty well overmatched. It may start out close but the final score won't reflect that. The Bulldogs roll in this one, 31-10.
LSU vs Auburn.
This is the game that the Auburn Tigers get it back on track, right? I don't think so. The season just keeps getting longer for Auburn, and to think this was a team that won a national title just two years ago. For LSU, this will be a good game to iron out any wrinkles, and tweak some things before they really get into their SEC schedule. LSU beats Auburn, 38-7
Missouri vs South Carolina.
Now here is an SEC game that could come down to the wire. I am still not sold on South Carolina being a top ten team. Their defense is solid, but when are we going to see Lattimore carry this team like he has in the past? Connor Shaw is still nursing injuries. Missouri has injury concerns as well. If you are a Gamecock, you should be a little nervous for this game. Don't forget that this team played a pretty good game against Georgia already. Upset Alert! I am taking Missouri. Missouri wins 24-20.
Kansas State vs Oklahoma.
Another good in-conference matchup. Kansas State is really picking up some momentum, but will it be enough to win in Oklahoma? The Sooners are looking for some respect. I don't think they strike the fear into their foes as much as they used to. This game could turn into a scoring frenzy. Both offenses have weapons that could put up points in a hurry. I really like Kansas State, but the game is in Oklahoma. If this game was back in Kansas, I would give the edge to them. The Sooners are tough at home. Oklahoma wins 35-24.
Michigan vs Notre Dame.
Is Notre Dame legit? The Irish have revenge on their minds, at least against Denard Robinson anyway. Robinson gave the Irish fits last year, but I don't know if he is the same player this year. Maybe he hasn't gotten over the thumping from the Tide in week one. This will be a good close game. The pressure lies on Notre Dame. Their defense has to step up and contain Denard. I think the Irish will use a lot of similiar schemes that Alabama used to stop him. Difference is obviously the skill and talent of the players trying to execute those schemes. There will be some blown coverages and miscues, but the Irish are hot right now and I am going to test my luck with them. Irish win, 27-21.
