SEC Week 11 could be the craziest week of the season. The schedule has everything, from an FCS matchup and a game with a 51 1/2-point favorite to 3 games with point spreads within a field goal. Which makes it a great week for bold predictions. No, we don’t think New Mexico State knocks off Alabama. But here’s a series of deep-shot predictions, many of which will fail, but a few of which won’t. Which ones will happen? Well, there’s the fun part. Here’s a bold prediction for each Week 11 SEC matchup:

Bama’s special teams beats New Mexico State

Yes, we’re not going to shock anybody by expecting Alabama to roll over 51 1/2-point underdog New Mexico State. Over the past years, we love guessing when Alabama’s defense outscores the opponent. We’ll go one further here — the Tide special teams will outscore New Mexico State. Bama has a pair of kick and punt return TDs this year, as well as a pair of blocked kicks. We’ll take it to put a score — and maybe a pair of scores — on the board, which will best New Mexico State.

Gators rush for 300 vs. Samford

As crazy as the past few weeks have been in Gainesville, we considered projecting 3-5 FCS Samford to hang with Florida. But it feels like Dan Mullen, back against the wall, will go back to the best facets of his team. Before it got distracted, Florida had one of the best running attacks in the SEC. With Anthony Richardson probably out and Emory Jones beleaguered, look for the Gators to run, run, run their way to 300 yards on the ground in a comfortable win.

State leads at the half, but Auburn rallies for 2-score win

Mississippi State is entirely capable of upsetting Auburn, which is why we can see the Bulldogs getting off to a good start against a Tigers team that was offensively challenged last week. But a key to this game is that Auburn is one of the SEC’s best defenses at forcing field goals. Only 45 percent of opposing red zone possessions end in touchdowns. In the 2nd half, Bo Nix will get rolling, and Auburn will turn red zone trips into field goals — or into turnovers, as the Tigers pull ahead and eventually win by 2 touchdowns.

Tennessee gives Georgia a mild scare

Similarly, Tennessee figures to have a few tricks up its sleeve for Georgia. The Bulldogs haven’t seen much of a tempo offense or many good passing teams. In fact, Georgia might be just a little dozy this weekend. In any case, the Vols give the Bulldogs some early trouble in this game. Don’t get crazy, now — Tennessee isn’t going to win. But we’ll take the Vols to lead at halftime, outscore anyone else who has played Georgia so far and cover the final spread in a 30-14 kind of game.

Runfest in CoMo, as Carolina, Mizzou combine for 500 rushing yards in shootout

Nobody can have a ton of faith in Missouri’s defense. Before last week, the same might have been said of South Carolina’s offense. Now, this game looks like a shootout. Tyler Badie will be leaned on early and often by the Tigers, but the Gamecocks are coming off a game in which they had a pair of 100-yard rushers. This one is a shootout, although really more of a runout. The teams combine for 500 rushing yards, but Carolina turns a Mizzou turnover into the game-winning drive, 42-35.

300 more for Levis

Kentucky is on a 3-game losing streak, but QB Will Levis was superb against Tennessee (aside from an ugly pick-6) and should have a field day against Vandy. The Commodores are last in the SEC in passing yardage allowed and opposing QB efficiency. Says here that Liam Coen opens up the playbook early and often, as Kentucky will try to rest Chris Rodriguez Jr. a bit in an easy 42-17 win. Levis will pass for 300 yards, and Wan’Dale Robinson will have another 100-yard game.

Heisman moment for Corral

Texas A&M looked like the 3rd-best team in the SEC last week. Or actually, since the Aggies did beat Alabama, maybe that should be the 2nd-best team. What does this week bring? An upset loss on the road for the Aggies. Ole Miss just lost to Auburn, which A&M blasted the following week. But here’s the thing. That Auburn offense bears little resemblance to what Matt Corral and the Rebels like to do. A&M is still offensively challenged, and the Rebels will get a good start and play from ahead. In that situation, Zach Calzada can’t hide behind the Aggies’ ground game. A&M will rally to tie the game in the 4th quarter, just in time for Corral to take Ole Miss down the field for a last-second win, and for his best Heisman moment yet. (Is it enough? We’ll save that for another bold prediction.)

Why not LSU?

The only thing we authoritatively know about the Tigers is that they have spent the entire season doing the opposite of whatever made any logical sense. So now, playing a ranked Arkansas team as a mild home underdog, they’ll spring the upset. Max Johnson should be good for a big day, and the Tigers’ defense continues to overachieve in a 24-21 victory for LSU, which will allow the Tigers to get bowl-eligible next week.
