Auburn vs. Ole Miss

Date: Saturday, October 31

Kickoff: 12:00 p.m. ET

Venue: Jordan-Hare Stadium

Ole Miss is looking for payback after a close loss to Auburn last season. The Tigers have struggled all year on defense, and will be facing a potent Rebels attack. The Auburn offense just won’t be able to keep up in this one in the end.

Pick: Ole Miss

Spread: Ole Miss -7.5

Texas A&M vs. South Carolina

Date: Saturday, October 31

Kickoff: 12:00 p.m. ET

Venue: Kyle Field

The powerful Texas A&M offense was shut down by Ole Miss last week, putting up just three points on the board, but South Carolina’s defense is nowhere that good. The Aggies will look like the Aggies of earlier this season in an easy win over the Gamecocks. 

Pick: Texas A&M

Spread: Texas A&M -16.5

Florida vs. Georgia

Date: Saturday, October 31

Kickoff: 3:30 p.m. ET

Venue: Everbank Field

It is the World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party, and the Gators are looking to make it two wins in a row against the Bulldogs. Georgia has hit a rough patch, and will be without Nick Chubb. Treon Harris showed he was good enough to carry the Gators in Will Grier’s absence, and he’ll come through in this game. The Florida defense will also feast on Georgia’s offense, but the end score will be closer than the game really was.

Pick: Florida

Spread: Florida -3

Arkansas vs. Tennessee-Martin

Date: Saturday, October 31

Kickoff: 4:00 p.m. ET

Venue: Razorback Stadium

Arkansas recorded a big win last week, defeating Auburn in four overtimes. The Razorbacks now take a break from the SEC schedule to face Tennessee-Martin. It’ll be an easy win for the Hogs, who will manhandle both sides of the line.

Pick: Arkansas

Spread: No Line

Pick: Houston

Spread: Houston -11
