It’s the final weekend of the regular season in college football, and in the SEC that means it’s rivalry week.
And there are some huge games to be played, including Alabama’s visit to Auburn and Ole Miss’s trip to Starkville to face Mississippi State.
On Wednesday, ESPN’s Bill Connelly released his weekly SP+ predictions, which are created using a computer model that he has described as an “opponent- and tempo-adjusted look at the most sustainable and predictive aspects of college football. It is intended to be predictive and forward-facing.”
In the Egg Bowl, while the Bulldogs are currently favored by 1.5, SP+ likes the Rebels to come away with a 31-29 win on Thanksgiving night.
As for the Iron Bowl, SP+ thinks the Tigers will keep it closer at home than the 19.5-point spread, with the Crimson Tide ultimately winning, 35-22.
Also of note, SP+ likes Florida to get bowl eligible with a 32-25 home win over Florida State.
Here’s a look at what the SP+ model predicts for all of the week’s SEC action:
- Ole Miss 31, Mississippi State 29
- Arkansas 34, Missouri 25
- Georgia 44, Georgia Tech 11
- Florida 32, Florida State 25
- Alabama 34, Auburn 22
- Tennessee 47, Vanderbilt 10
- Texas A&M 33, LSU 19
- Clemson 31, South Carolina 16
