Because of the Thursday night prime time showdown in Manhattan, Kansas, the Auburn Tigers may will once again be off this weekend. However, there is still plenty of football to be played this Saturday in the Southeastern Conference.

And, since there are plenty of Auburn fans, and college football fans in general, that enjoy spicing up their Saturdays with a wager or two, we’ve provided another round of Saturday Selections.

Last week, our SEC picks against the spread were again successful. The 7-3-1 slate pushed our season standing to 19-8-2. Of course, since Auburn eked out a 20-14 win Saturday that slipped just under the 7.5-point spread (and we picked the Tigers to cover in yesterday’s game day prediction), the Week 4 SEC picks against the spread are off to a 0-1 start.

This week, we’ve got four more non-conference games before most of the teams in the league enter into the meat of the conference schedule. There are three very important Southeastern Conference games to discuss, which will tell us much about the teams involved. Of particular importance are the Florida-Alabama contest and the Mississippi State-LSU matchup.

But how will the teams fare against the spread?

This Week: 0-1

Last Week: 7-3-1

This Season: 19-9-2
