Despite a 1-point loss to Mississippi State last week, no one outside of Alabama has been playing better football in the SEC than Arkansas as of late. Coach Bret Bielema has the Razorbacks on the rise. Missouri can play defense, but the Hogs will be too balanced and will wear down the Tigers’ d-line. Arkansas cruises for an easy win.
Pick: Arkansas
Spread: Arkansas -14

Date: Saturday, November 28
Kickoff: 12:00 p.m. ET

The 2015 season has come down to this game for both teams. After very disappointing seasons for each, “Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate” is just what the doctor ordered. But only one will walk out on a high note and that’ll be the Georgia Bulldogs, on the back of stellar play from running back Sony Michel.
Pick: Georgia
Spread: Georgia -5

The old adage “throw out the record books in a rivalry game” might mean something in some games, but not in this one in 2015. Clemson is rolling toward an undefeated regular season and possible spot in the College Football Playoff. The Gamecocks have been bad all season long. South Carolina might be able to keep it close for a half, but then the talent of the Tigers will take over.
Pick: Clemson
Spread: Clemson -17.5

Date: Saturday, November 28
Kickoff: 3:30 p.m. ET
Venue: Jordan-Hare Stadium
The last time the Iron Bowl was played in Jordan-Hare Stadium, it gave us one of the best finishes in all of sports. It will take a monumental effort for Auburn to match that one, as the Tide come in rolling on both offense and defense. Alabama RB Derrick Henry has been a beast and will put another Heisman-type performance together. Alabama by several scores.
Pick: Alabama
Spread: Alabama -13.5

Date: Saturday, November 28
Kickoff: 4:00 p.m. ET
Venue: Neyland Stadium
The Volunteer defense will have a field day against a Vanderbilt offense that can’t throw the ball and can’t move the chains. The Tennessee offense isn’t explosive, but will be able to outscore the Commodores for the win.
Pick: Tennessee
Spread: Tennessee -17.5

Date: Saturday, November 28
Kickoff: 7:15 p.m. ET
Venue: Davis Wade Stadium
This one will come down to the Rebels defense against Bulldogs QB Dak Prescott. Prescott will play fantastic, while his counterpart, Ole Miss QB Chad Kelly, will have his fair share of mishaps. But despite Kelly’s performance, the Rebels will make some plays when it counts for a close win. Put this game on your schedule if it’s not already.
Pick: Ole Miss
Spread: Ole Miss -1

Date: Saturday, November 28
Kickoff: 7:30 p.m. ET
Venue: Ben Hill Griffin Stadium
The Gators defense has been excellent all season long, but the offense has fallen off the face of the Earth following Will Grier’s suspension. The Seminoles will give the Gators a heavy dose of RB Dalvin Cook, and with a banged up defense unit for UF, Cook will be able to find lanes and break a couple of big runs for a close win.
Pick: FSU
Spread: FSU -2

Date: Saturday, November 28
Kickoff: 7:30 p.m. ET
Venue: Tiger Stadium
As hard as it is to believe, Les Miles might be coaching his last game in Tiger Stadium on Saturday night. That’ll be enough to fire up the Bayou Bengals and really give the LSU brass something to think long and hard about.
Pick: LSU
Spread: LSU -5.5
