SEC
Week 7 SP+ projections for every SEC matchup released
We are just days away from another outstanding weekend of Southeastern Conference football as we will be treated to seven games in the coming days — six of which are league games.
The biggest game of the week nationally is Florida’s showdown with LSU in Death Valley while Alabama’s trip to College Station has Nick Saban’s team on upset alert in the SEC on CBS game this Saturday.
To give you an idea of how these games could play out, ESPN’s SP+ analytics have recently been published and we rounded up the projected scores of each of the games involving SEC teams for Week 7.
Here is how the system is projecting the weekend action to play out:
- Georgia 36 South Carolina 17
- Mississippi State 31 Tennessee 25
- Alabama 35 Texas A&M 21
- Vanderbilt 38 UNLV 23
- Missouri 34 Ole Miss 15
- Kentucky 30 Arkansas 24
- LSU 32 Florida 24
I disagree with a few of these. Alabama will beat Texas A&M by more than that and Texas A&M will not score 21. I also think Ole Miss will beat Missouri and I’ve been really impressed with Plumlee. I also think Arkansas will beat Kentucky. Florida will beat LSU and Tennessee will beat Miss. State in overtime.
How do you figure Ole Miss is going to beat Missouri?
Are you saying it’s not possible?
Oh it’s possible. Just like A&M beating Bama is possible. But the question is “Is it likely?” Nope.
Mizzou has improved considerably on defense and hardly any one has been able to run against them. I think the average per carry against Mizzou is under 2 yards. Mizzou is going to be one of the most stoutest defenses they have played against since Bama. Plus, its a homecoming game under the lights at Mizzou. Not saying Ole Miss doesn’t have a chance. I’m just saying Mizzou is likely to be the victor.
