Can he do it in back-to-back performances? Consider me skeptical. South Carolina Missouri (-6.5) - 2:30 pm on SEC Network I think this game is closer than the line indicates. Both defenses leave a little something to be desired. They’re ranked back-to-back (48th and 49th) in Bill Connelly’s SP+ rankings. The truth is these teams are more similar than they are different. The Razorbacks’ last five games have been losses, with four of the five determined by seven points or less. If I know one thing about Arkansas, it’s that their game will be within one score. Because I’m even less convinced of Arkansas. And you’re picking them to cover against Arkansas? Sure am.

Can someone explain Mississippi State to me like I’m five, please? They beat Arizona - a legitimately good team - in overtime, and then found a way to get shredded by LSU and Alabama, lost on the road at South Carolina, and didn’t win particularly convincingly last week against Western Michigan.

Mississippi State (+7) Arkansas - 11:00 am on ESPN Let’s get to the picks for week eight in the SEC.

This is a conference that seems to be (mostly) consolidating toward the middle, and the some of these lines seem a little bigger than anticipated. Kentucky, Georgia, LSU, Vanderbilt and Ole Miss are all on their bye week. It’s a short slate this week in the SEC with just nine teams in action. Rattler actually played well for the vast majority of the game, but he came up short when the Gamecocks got the ball back down by two points with less than a minute to play throwing a quick interception to seal the deal for the Gators. I was (kind of) proven correct in that regard.

I was skeptical of Rattler’s ability to get the job done against a quality opponent. We came away with a winner last week with Florida coming back in the second half to take down the fighting Spencer Rattlers.
