Thank you.  Now most will see that the Gators are the real team in the SEC....the lines makers, unfortunately will likely over compensate for the Ole Miss game...will watch this closely.  Should be around 14.5.

Good job Dyounger!
 
You must have won with
 
Vandy spread & ML
UGA
LSU
 
 
I won with UF, Bama, LSU, UGA.
 
I was so off on Miss ST. 
 
My whole reasoning for taking Ole Mis was that they were at home and I didnt see road warriors sweeping SEC play.  I had a much better day with road favorites than dogs.
 
Akron, Tulsa, and BYU plays were big for me. 
My dogs didnt hit much.  CU, Ball St, and New MexicoSt won, AFA covered, other than that most of the dogs didnt show up.
 
See you next week.

This Week:
Sides:10-9
Totals:2-2
Underdog ML:3-3

Totals for the year:
Sides:    36-19
Totals:    8-5-2
Underdog ML:  5-7

Still ended on the + side .  Should have stuck with my gut on GT and Bama.  I think Tenn is a lot worse than i thought.  UGA did what i thought they would do. Florida did blow Tenn out, but im still not buying the hype.  Arkansas is the worst team in the SEC hands down, no one is even close. 

On to next week

good job bro, you were right about vandy. They seem to be a play on dog team.

I think the Florida game was more of an example of how bad Tennessee is therefor making UF look really good.

the score in the FL tenn game doesnt tell the story... take away red zone turn overs, convert some 4th downs, and improve on special teams and that is a 3 pt game... tenn held florida to under 300 total yards and actually had more total yards and first downs than florida

Howbot- Tenn came out of the game down 17-0 quick. A couple stupid turnovers and they are down quickly.  If they had gotten into the endzone before the half, maybe the game would have turned out different.  After halftime Tenn just looked like they had the "here we go again" attitude.  Florida was in cruise control in the 2nd half.  You could tell the play calling got very conservative and they were confident in winning.  I think the score should have probably been even worse than what it was.

Good analysis, try this one it works just as well - if Uf would have played their second team defense all game, percy and tebow would have missed the plane, brandon jacobs blew his knee out, Peyton and Jamal Lewis had just one more year of eligibility, and fulmer wasn't the coach it would have been alot closer.

Sorry Im thinking NFL. I obviously was trying to say Brandon James not Jacobs.

No, you're stats don't tell the story.  It's hard to rack up offensive yards when you have a good defensive stop, return a punt for a TD, then go on defense again.  This team is reminding me of the 2006 Gators, where everyone said they won ugly games and their offense was bad and wouldn't score against Ohio St.  If you only look at stats to say that Florida is not that good, you either didn't watch the game or you don't understand football. 

I could say UGA isn't as good as they're hyped because they haven't blow people out, but they realize, just like Florida, when you're up by 2 scores, keep running the ball and burn clock.  Both Florida and UGA could care less whether they win by 50 or 1, in the SEC you take wins.

Well put, a win is a win in the SEC.  However UGA has been on a mean streak of blowing out OOC teams.    UGA vs Florida in jacksonville is going to decide the winner of the SEC.  Should be interesting

gotta agree with dfk on this one...
 
i believe there are some games you can legitimately say the outcome could have been different "if" a couple strange plays had gone another way...
 
to say "if" in a game that was just an absolute ass-whipping... come on!  seriously?
 
you can't "if" away a 24 point demolition where one team scores 30+ and the other doesn't even get 7...
 
i watched the game... the only "if" is "if" they played again next week would Tennessee be able to get within 21...
 
this game was poorly capped by a lot of people... there was only one-side to be on from the get go...
 
leave the "if"s for Fairy Tales...
 
 
because i'll give you the only if that really matters... "if" you had correctly put Florida ahead of Georgia in your SEC power rankings, you would have more accurately gauged the very considerable gap between Florida and Tennessee...
