There may not be a ton of games this weekend in the SEC, and the ones we do have mostly figure to be blowouts, but don’t be surprised if we see an upset or two this weekend from the league.
That’s the main takeaway when looking over the Week 6 S&P+ projections posted by Bill Connelly at SB Nation.
Five weeks into the season, Alabama, Auburn and Georgia appear to have established themselves as clear favorites over the rest of the league and are predicted by the S&P+ projections to cruise to easy wins this weekend. However, the three games not involving those teams all project to be close games this weekend per the S&P+.
Here’s how the metric predicts Week 6 in the SEC playing out:
- Alabama at Texas A&M — Tide win 38-18
- Georgia at Vanderbilt — Dawgs win 30-15
- Ole Miss at Auburn — Tigers win 35-21
- LSU at Florida — Tigers win 26-24
- Arkansas at South Carolina — Razorbacks win 31-27
- Missouri at Kentucky — Wildcats win 33-28
