The SEC is loaded once again. And once again, the usual suspects are poised to make a run at the SEC Championship game. Not to mention the National Championship game. Here is a breakdown of the SEC and prediction of who wins it.
SEC East
Favorite: Georgia (-215)
Toughest Path: Florida
Easiest Path: Missouri
My Pick: Georgia
-Most Important Games-
- Georgia vs Florida
- Georgia @ Auburn
- Florida @ LSU
- Mizzou @ Georgia
- Florida @ Kentucky
Georgia and Florida are the top 2 in the East, but a handful of games will decide the division. Missouri and Kentucky may play a hand in the division race, with Kentucky getting Florida at home and Mizzou is good enough to keep games vs UGA and Florida close. The Cocktail Party in Jacksonville could be the one that ultimately decides it.
SEC West
Favorite: Alabama (-350) Darkhorse: LSU (+625)
Toughest Path: Texas A&M
Easiest Path: Alabama
My Pick: Alabama
-Most Important Games-
- LSU @ Alabama
- Alabama @ Texas A&M
- Alabama @ Auburn
The Crimson Tide is the overwhelming favorite in the West, and that’s why all the important games include them. Unless they lose one of these 3 games, they will be in Atlanta once again for the SEC Title Game.
SECCG Prediction
Once again the Tide defeats Georgia, as Kirby Smart and the Dawgs just can’t seem to get over the hump.
