Another week of SEC football is in the books, and our weekly picks against the spread regained their winning ways with a 4-2 mark. That gives us a .612 winning percentage this season after 67 Saturday Selections.
Things started well when Arkansas jumped out to a 35-0 halftime lead against UAB and held on to cover, and we held our breath through a dramatic fourth quarter in Lexington and were very glad to have that extra half-point in Mississippi State’s 45-31 win. Missouri slogged through a 24-14 win over Vanderbilt, and we were off to a fantastic 3-0 start before the primetime games kicked off.
When Alabama took a 28-0 lead in the second quarter, 4-0 looked like a sure thing, but the Crimson Tide took their foot off the gas and failed to cover in a 34-20 victory. LSU beat Ole Miss straight up, and the Rebels failed us (and their fans) for the first time this season. A close 42-35 Auburn victory over South Carolina pushed us back over .500 for the eighth time in nine weeks.
