It’s a wild and woolly Week 3 coming on in the SEC. We here at SDS do what we do — think of a handful of wildly specific or exceptionally crazy things that we think will happen, and tell you about them. Sure, we’re wrong more than we’re right. But we’re right enough to hopefully make you think. Or wonder about us. Either works. Here’s a bold prediction for each SEC Week 3 game:

Kentucky: C.J. Conrad awakens

The senior tight end is one of the most complete players in the nation, but Kentucky has never utilized him much in the passing game (five catches for 12 yards this year). With the ground game fairly well established, this week will be about getting Terry Wilson a few more possibilities in the air attack — which is where Conrad comes in. How about a nice six-catch, 80-yard, two-TD kind of game?

Georgia: Bulldogs pitch a shutout

MTSU has a nice passing game but nothing at all on the ground (they averaged only 96 yards per game rushing against Vandy and Tennessee-Martin). They won’t be able to get much of anything done against Georgia, who will pitch a Week 3 shutout.

Tennessee: Tim Jordan goes for 200

The Vols pick a good time to play a UTEP team that has been gashed for an average of 260 rushing yards per game — by an FCS Northern Arizona team and UNLV. This team might be weaker than the ETSU squad that Tennessee blasted like a jukebox. Jeremy Pruitt will feed the ground game, and that means a big day for Jordan.

Vanderbilt: Why not Vandy?

A week after Kentucky shocked the college football establishment as a two-score underdog in the Swamp, Vandy will do the same to Notre Dame. The things Vandy is good at are the things that will allow them to keep this game close — a bend-but-don’t-break defense and a balanced offense. You heard it here first — Vandy goes to 3-0.

Auburn-LSU: The (underdog) Tigers lead at the half, the (favored) Tigers win by two scores

This feels like a definition game for both of these teams. LSU has found a way to win without being terribly impressive on offense. The difference is that they’re facing an Auburn team that will adjust to their early running gains by locking down QB Joe Burrow in the second half. This feels like a 10-7 LSU lead at the half and a 27-13 final.

Arkansas: Devwah delivers

North Texas has a passing game built around QB Mason Fine that will help them jump to an early lead in this game. The problem is that the defense that stopped SMU and Immaculate Word will find things tougher against Devwah Whaley. North Texas allowed more than 200 yards rushing per game last season, and Whaley will lead Arkansas back for a solid two-score victory.

Florida: It was Mr. Scarlett in the Swamp with the Football

Florida’s rebuild starts after a tough Kentucky loss. Thought one is that Feleipe Franks’ job gets easier if Florida runs the football even reasonably well. Jordan Scarlett rushed for 889 yards back in 2016, and he’s the best candidate for taking 20ish carries and rushing for 100-150 yards, which will make life nice for the Gators, who will win by 21.

Alabama-Mississippi: Onside all the time

If we turned into a football handicapping business, the over/under on this game would be about a zillion. Seriously, this is the Alabama team that won last year’s game 66-3 over Ole Miss — except that they’re passing the ball much more efficiently. This Rebels team is better — which means it might end up at, say, 70-21. Let’s expect a lot of trick plays from Ole Miss — starting with onside kicks. Why not? If they have, say, a 20 percent shot of recovering, that’s better than their odds of stopping ‘Bama.

Mississippi State: Passing fancy

The only thing missing for State so far has been a dependable passing game, so why not work that in this week? Louisiana (formerly Louisiana-Lafayette) is 1-65 against SEC teams, so there’s literally almost nothing to lose. Lanky JUCO WR Stephen Guidry is one suspect to have a big game — watch for him to top 100 yards receiving with a touchdown.

Missouri: 400 for Lock

Purdue is 0-2 in the Big Ten, which is like finishing last in a wrestling match within the chess club. They made Northwestern look like the Patriots offensively, and Drew Lock will bomb the Boilermakers into submission. Lock passes for 400 yards, Mizzou wins by four scores, and the Tigers still don’t get the media attention they should because of Vandy’s upset of Notre Dame.

Texas A&M: Trayveon’s big day

Coming off of a game in which A&M showed that Kellen Mond is their future, and that the future is bright, they’re going to try to take it easy on Mond. Look for the form that led to 500 rushing yards in Week 1, and Trayveon Williams will be one beneficiary of that policy. We see 175 yards and two scores for him.
