#3 LSU @ #25 Mississippi State – 8:00 PM ET on ESPN
The Tigers have owned the Bulldogs over the past decade with a perfect 10-0 record straight-up and a 7-3 record against the spread. Last season they won by 21 at home and while this time around will be closer game, LSU easily covers the three-point spread.
Prediction: LSU 35, Mississippi State 20
Odds: LSU: -3.5 – Mississippi State: -3.5 – Over/Under: 50

#21 Auburn @ Clemson – 12:00 PM ET on ABC
Auburn is coming off a huge 41-34 win over Mississippi State as a 5.5-point home underdog, and should be able to carry that momentum to another big win against a Clemson team that is 3-7 ATS in its last 10 games against the SEC.
Prediction: Auburn 23, Clemson 21
Odds: Auburn: +3.5 – Clemson: -3.5 – Over/Under: 61

Ole Miss @ Vanderbilt – 12:21 PM on ESPN3.com
This could be the Rebels only legitimate chance at a conference-win this season as things only get harder from here. This series is all knotted at four games apiece SU in the last eight meetings, but the visiting team is 3-0 both SU and ATS the last three years.
Prediction: Ole Miss 19, Vanderbilt 16
Odds: Ole Miss: -2 – Vanderbilt: +2 – Over/Under: 47.5

Coastal Carolina @ Georgia – 1:00 PM ET on ESPN3.com
Georgia is still reeling from a 0-2 start so this week’s opponent is probably a much welcomed sight on the schedule. The odds makers are so concerned that the Bulldogs are going to take their frustrations out on the Chanticleers they have yet to set a line for this game.
Prediction: Georgia 56, Coastal Carolina 6

Tennessee @ #16 Florida – 3:30 PM ET
The Volunteers have a great chance to make a statement in this game that they can once again legitimately compete in the SEC-East. The road team is 7-3-1 ATS in the last 11 meetings and Tennessee is 6-1-1 ATS in its last eight games overall.
Prediction: Tennessee 28, Florida 27
Odds: Tennessee: +9.5 – Florida: -9.5 – Over/Under: 50.5

Navy @ #11 South Carolina (-17) – 6:00 PM ET on ESPN2
The Gamecocks take a breather this week after a big win over Georgia last week and the meat of their SEC schedule right around the corner. The only problem is Navy brings one of its better teams in recent memory into this game.
Prediction: South Carolina 28, Navy 24
Odds: South Carolina: -17 – Navy: +17 – Over/Under: 58

Louisville @ Kentucky (-6.5) 7:00 PM ET on ESPNU
State bragging rights are on the line in this one, but Wildcats have owned the Cardinals over the past few seasons with a 4-0 record SU and a 3-1 record ATS. For the most part these games have been close hard-fought battles so Louisville has a great chance to cover the 6.5-point spread.
Prediction: Kentucky 27, Louisville 24
Odds: Kentucky: -6.5 – Louisville: +6.5 – Over/Under: 40.5

Troy @ #14 Arkansas (-23) – 7:30 PM ET on ESPN3.com
Troy is a bit in over its head in this one, but will come into Fayetteville all fired-up while the Razorbacks could easily get caught looking ahead to next Saturday’s game with Alabama.
Prediction: Arkansas 35, Troy 17
Odds: Arkansas: -23 – Troy: +23 – Over/Under: 63.5

North Texas @ #2 Alabama – 7:30 PM ET on ESPN3.com
The Mean Green go from the frying pan to the fire after getting outscored 89-39 in games against Florida International and Houston. The only saving grace for North Texas is that the Tide may take it easy in this game as they rest up for next week’s showdown against the Razorback.
Prediction: Alabama 48, North Texas 17
Odds: Alabama: -46 – North Texas: +46 – Over/Under: 53.5
