Good break down from Jerry Hinnen here.
Toughest bet I see on that board is Tennessee. The Vols play an easier schedule this year and are certainly more experienced. But all that staff turnover and their thinness at key spots on the defense make me nervous. You can make a good case on either side of that 7.5.
The easiest call looks like Florida. I know the jury’s out on Muschamp and the quarterbacks, but that defense and those cupcakes make at least eight wins a pretty good likelihood.
What do y’all think?

Pretty good. Be sure to click on the link to read the SEC West analysis, too.

Eight wins for Florida is not acceptable in most years. Not sure if next year qualifies as “most years” though.

The Shula and SOD’s backgrounds and college coaching careers sure have paralleled each other.

I must say Vandy at 5.5 is quite tempting. If I were putting money on these East totals, Florida and Vandy would be who I went with.
Considering recent history and Florida’s domination in Jax, that’s 3 cupcakes plus Kentucky plus 1 WLOCP which puts them at 5. They could easily beat TN, Vandy, and Missouri and be at 8. If they happen not to beat us in the WLOCP they could take down either A&M, SCe, or FSU to get that 8th win. I don’t see them beating LSU, though.

You are right about LSU beating Florida. I don’t see the Gators beating UGA, FSU or USCe. They might beat UT and Missouri but not easily–and probably not both. Vandy should have beaten them last season but let’s give them Vandy. They are going to have to beat A&M to get to 7 wins IMHO.

One injury at QB for either UF or USCe will topple their seasons.
Feeking pretty good about UGA’s QB backups for a change.

They have SCar going at the road to face Vandy as not an easy task? Bahahaha

Vandy will cover the spread and more than likely win outright. Bank on it.
