Hey guys. I'm not trying to debunk or downplay the mighty SEC because the numbers speak for themselves.
And when i try and recall early round NFL drafts i see and mostly remember names from the SEC: Moreno, Coffee, McFadden, Massaquoi, Harvin, Stafford, etc.
But there are some matchups we just have to distinguish, i guess. The Clemson/Kentucky game was just one out of the mix where the SEC didn't cover the spread.
This Texas A&M/Georgia matchup is kinda wacky.
From what i recall, Georgia, despite their losses, their defense have usually kept them in the game. Safe to say the Bulldogs defense can usually be counted on. Ummm, but probably not at crunch time or the end-zone when they need a key stop.
I don't see anything special about Texas A&M on the other hand. They are quite a jeckyll 'n hyde type of team. This team changes from week to week (if not about a 50% change from what they did with S. McGhee last year). And, truthfully, i haven't had that many good reads on this team. Just when i thought J. Johnson would have a good game, the Aggies go out and get blown out by 40-plus points.
Right now its just a [small] system lean on the Aggies. Not really an official play.
But with the recent Bowl games trends, underdog Moneylines have been swell. I say the Aggies have a shot of a SU win here.
A quick addition & subtraction, i came up with the Turnover Margins:
Texas A&M -1 (lots of lost fumbles)
Georgia -17 !!!???
Somebody do the math for Georgia's Turn-Over Margin, quick! Is that right?!?! Georgia with 11 lost fumbles while only forcing 2 fumbles; intercepted the opponent 8 times but Joe Cox have been intercepted 14 times! Logan Gray adds 2 INT's to the mix. Wow.
Okay. I guess Joe Cox can be pretty bad.
More late night ranting.
Good night.
