Tennessee (5-5) vs. Missouri (5-5) Game Preview

Why Tennessee Will Win

Missouri’s offense appears to have ended its 2019 season a bit early.

It doesn’t like scoring touchdowns anymore, putting up a grand total of 27 points in the last four games with no more than seven in any of the last three.

What’s the problem? Playing Florida and Georgia was part of it, but to put it bluntly, it’s just not clicking.

Kelly Bryant was able to connect on enough throws to get over 200 yards against the Gators, but they didn’t seem to go anywhere. There’s no pop or explosion, there are too many missed opportunities, and the absent running game isn’t helping.

Tennessee’s offense isn’t going off, but the defensive line is doing a nice job of getting behind the line and being disruptive, the takeaways are coming, and overall the team seems to have found a bit of a groove over the second half of the year.

It might have lost to Alabama, but it was close to making it interesting late. That was the lone loss since early October – the team is now finding ways to win, after starting off the season creating interesting ways to lose.

– “Go to the bank!” Today’s top pick of the day just released

Why Missouri Will Win

It’s Senior Day. Next week the Tigers make the trip to Arkansas, but first, the team has to bust out of its funk in the final home game of the year.

That starts with getting the passing game going and needing Bryant to get hot  right away.

Yeah, the Vols might be on a nice run, but it also helps that the D hasn’t dealt with too many teams that can throw.

It kept Alabama from going ballistic, and it came up with a win over South Carolina despite getting hit for well over 300 yards, but Kentucky, UAB and Mississippi State aren’t being mistaken for LSU offensively.

Jake Fromm was able to connect on 83% of his passes in Georgia’s easy win over the Vols. Florida’s Kyle Trask was red hot, too, in a win.

Bryant has to be patient, keep the chains moving, and just relax for a passing game that has the parts to go on marches against a Tennessee D that’s struggling on third downs.

[lawrence-related id=500899]

What’s Going To Happen

Can the Mizzou offensive line block anyone?

It’s not generating any semblance of a push for the ground game, and it’s not keeping Bryant and the quarterbacks clean. Unfortunately, the Tennessee pass  rush has been steadily solid.

Don’t expect the Tigers to all of a sudden get it all back.

The Vols aren’t putting up points in bunches, and in just their fourth road game of the season they’re going to struggle and sputter against an inspired Missouri defense.

First one to score wins? It won’t be quite like that, but the Tigers pull up out fo the nosedive just enough to get out with an ugly, ugly win.

If want in on this week’s games, sign up with BetMGM

What’s Going To Happen

Both teams need this, but in different ways.

Toledo has a whole lot of traffic in its way and needs a whole lot of help to win the MAC West, but there’s no shot if it doesn’t get by Buffalo and Central Michigan to close things out.

At least it’s bowl eligible already. Buffalo isn’t.

The Bulls managed to pull off a gag that rivals last year’s colossal disaster in the MAC Championship loss to Northern Illinois. They were cruising along against Kent State, collapsed in the few minutes, and lost 30-27.

Now the MAC East title hopes are done – Miami took the division – and they have to win at least one of their last two games to go bowling. They play Bowling Green next week, but they need to close this off, now.

Considering Toledo failed to show up in last week’s puzzling loss to Northern Illinois, which team will bounce back the fastest?

Buffalo has a pass rush, and Toledo doesn’t.

The UB offense will rip through a Rocket defense that’s giving up 465 yards per game thanks to a secondary that’s getting hammered by anyone who’s trying to throw.

Toledo has to run to win – it leads the MAC in rushing – but it’s going against the league’s best defensive front.

UB will play for a full four quarters this week.

What’s Going To Happen

How much will the RedHawks care?

Miami University has already won the MAC East title and are off to Detroit after going on a four-game winning streak and getting a little help along the way.

But before that, it has to finish out the home portion of the slate against the worst team in college football.

Just when you think Akron can’t disappoint any more, it finds a way to do it.

The offense has failed to score more than 14 points in six of its last seven games – the only time it didn’t was against a UMass team that’s probably the second-worst team in the country – and hasn’t scored more than six in five of those.

Miami ins’t anything special offensively. It doesn’t push the ball down the field, and it doesn’t have much of a running game, but the defense is dominant behind the line and the O is managing to do just enough to get by.

At home, the RedHawks will win easily, but can they make it two weeks in a row with a blowout after rocking Bowling Green 44-3?

Akron will give up the ball three times and won’t go anywhere against this MU D.

LSU (10-0) vs. Arkansas (2-8) Game Preview

If want in on this week’s games, sign up with BetMGM

Why Arkansas Will Win

And thus begins the Barry Lunney era.

It’s been two weeks since the Hogs fired Chad Morris, but will that help make the offense any better?

For all of the losing, all of the embarrassment, and all of the problems, the Hogs have a decent enough secondary to make a few plays here and there, and the offensive line hasn’t been all that bad.

The ground attack ripped through WKU for 253 yards – averaging over nine yards per carry – a week after bothering Mississippi State for over seven yards per pop.

Rakeem Boyd isn’t getting enough work, but he’s been the main man with a few home runs over the last few weeks in his two 100-yard running games. On the year he’s rushed for over 100 yards four times – the first two times were in the two wins – and now he gets to go against an LSU defensive front that just got gouged.

It was against the Ole Miss offense designed by offensive coordinator Rich Rodriguez – it’s able to crank out big yards in chunks from time to time – and LSU couldn’t handle it. QB John Rhys Plumlee and company ran for over 400 yards with four scores in the wild shootout.

Arkansas has to turn it loose, because …

– “Go to the bank!” Today’s top pick of the day just released

Why LSU Will Win

The Hog defense is about to be in for a very, very long day.

The Tigers can pick the way they want to get things moving. The Arkansas secondary hasn’t picked off a pass in five games and was giving up well over nine yards per throw before WKU dinked and dunked its way to a blowout win.

Joe Burrow should do his thing – just assume he’ll be connecting on at least 70% of his throws on this group – and then it’ll all be up to the running game.

Clyde Edwards-Helaire is on a run of three straight 100-yard games, averaging over six yards per pop on the season. The Arkansas defensive front cant get behind the line a little bit, but it can’t hold up against the un, allowing 265 yards or more in four of its last five games.

Kentucky ran for 330, Mississippi State ran for 460, and Auburn came close to hitting the 300-yard mark. LSU won’t have to take any big chances – it’ll be able to rip off yards in chunks.

[lawrence-related id=500899]

What’s Going To Happen

The LSU defense that’s been getting hit hard and criticized over the last few weeks is about to show the world that it really isn’t all that bad.

Granted, it’s against a wounded Arkansas team that’s just trying to play out the year, but it’ll still matter.

The Tiger offense will effectively put this away in the first half, and then the defense will take care of the rest to clinch the SEC West.

Abilene Christian (5-6) vs. Mississippi State (4-6) Game Preview

If want in on this week’s games, sign up with BetMGM

Why Abilene Christian Will Win

Here comes the pass rush.

The Wildcats are great against the run, they take the ball away, and they’re outstanding at getting into the backfield on a regular basis.

They might be struggling offensively, but the defensive front is among the best in the FCS with 35 sacks on the season with 17 forced fumbles – and it’s getting better.

The Mississippi State offensive line is good for the running game, and it’s not totally miserable in pass protection but if all-around playmaker Jeremiah Chambers and top pass rushers Kameron Hill and Temisan Kuyatsemi can get off early, they’ll halt what the Bulldogs can do down the field.

– “Go to the bank!” Today’s top pick of the day just released

Why Mississippi State Will Win

Abilene Christian isn’t able to throw the ball down the field, either.

There isn’t a ton of explosion among the receivers, and there are too many picks being given away. If the Bulldogs can swarm around RB Tracy James, the ACU offense stops.

Offensively, this is where the MSU running game gets moving again.

It averaged over five yards per carry against Alabama, but the game got out of hand in a hurry and the running game stalled after one good drive.

This week, the offense that rumbled for 460 yards on the ground against Arkansas, and tore off 239 yards against Texas A&M, will hammer away from the start.

ACU has a terrific run defense – at least statistically thanks to the pass rush – but it’s about to give up over 200 yards.

[lawrence-related id=500899]

What’s Going To Happen

After losing five of its last six games, the 4-6 Bulldogs get the fifth win to set itself up for a shot at bowl eligibility when they face Ole Miss five days later.

Because of the short week, they’re going to want to get this done early and rest the main guys as soon as possible. That won’t be easy considering the ACU defense will keep this from getting out of hand, but the Bulldog defense will put this away by halftime.

Vanderbilt (2-8) vs. East Tennessee State (3-8) Game Preview

If want in on this week’s games, sign up with BetMGM

Why East Tennessee State Will Win

Vanderbilt is really, really bad at throwing the football.

It has a few decent receivers, it has options at quarterback – at least, it has players with experience – but it’s really, really not working.

The Commodores haven’t thrown for more than 90 yards in any of the last three games – averaging fewer than four yards per pass in them. This isn’t an offense that’s going to go off for 50 points – it doesn’t have the ability.

The Bucs have a decent enough offensive line to not get destroyed, and the defense has a few playmakers – S Artevius Smith is a problem – for a secondary that doesn’t get torched. But …

– “Go to the bank!” Today’s top pick of the day just released

Why Vanderbilt Will Win

The Bucs aren’t able to handle close games.

They can’t bust off big pass plays, they don’t move the offense in critical times, and they don’t move the chains well enough. They’re not struggling like the Vanderbilt offense is, but they’re not scoring in bunches and they don’t have anything they can consistently rely on in a game like this.

They can run the ball a bit – Quay Holmes has already hit the 1,100 yard mark – but the points are consistently coming.

They’ve been outscored 89-62 in the fourth quarter, and lost their two overtime battles. They’ve dropped seven games by seven points or fewer, and Vanderbilt needs to get out fast.

There’s not much of an ETSU passing game to worry about. Swarm around Holmes an the running game, and all should be fine.

[lawrence-related id=500899]

What’s Going To Happen

Don’t be fooled by the 3-8 record. ETSU is just dangerous enough to give a punchless Vanderbilt team problems.

The Commodore running game will work for close to 250 yards, the defense will keep the Bucs down on third downs, and it’ll be a third win on the season. It might not be beautiful, but it’s a win.

Kentucky (5-5) vs. UT Martin (7-4) Game Preview

If want in on this week’s games, sign up with BetMGM

Why UT Martin Will Win

The Skyhawks can play some run defense.

The offense is good at winging it around and it doesn’t turn the ball over, but it’s the defense that normally gets the job done.

It was run through by Florida, and it got hammered on by Austin Peay and Southern Illinois, but overall, the run defense is just active enough to get into the backfield on a regular basis. TJ Jefferson and Austin Pickett lead a terrific pass rush that should be an issue.

Kentucky doesn’t have a passing game. It was a big deal when Lynn Bowden threw for 127 yards against Vanderbilt – it was the first time in six games the Cats threw for over 100 yards.

UTM’s run D will load up. However …

– “Go to the bank!” Today’s top pick of the day just released

Why Kentucky Will Win

This is the game for the Wildcats to get the pass rush going.

It’s been an inconsistent run for the excellent UK D when it comes to getting into the backfield, but UTM’s offensive line isn’t good enough to hold up.

The Skyhawks don’t have enough of a running game, and they’re not great at closing out drives with scores. Kentucky needs to get up early, and then it can sit on the ball for the rest of the game.

The UTM run defense is good overall, but Bowden and the ground game should be able to grind out drive after drive. The Cats should have the ball for at least 35 minutes, and closer to 40.

[lawrence-related id=500899]

What’s Going To Happen

UTM isn’t a speed bump.

It’s a paycheck game for UK, and it’ll be a sixth win to get bowl eligible, but it’ll provide enough of a push to make the Wildcats have to try. It’ll be a more interesting game than you might think, but UK will limit the possessions and won’t let the Skyhawks go on enough good drives to capture any momentum.

What’s Going To Happen

Ohio blew it against Miami University a few weeks ago, and it made its life a whole lot harder in the hunt for a bowl game with a loss to Western Michigan last week.

The MAC East hopes are gone, but win at Bowling Green this week, and it’ll get to six wins – it’s not going to lose to Akron to close out the regular season.

Bowling Green needs to close strong after getting drubbed by MU 44-3. Losers of three of its last four games, the offense hasn’t been able to find its footing, and now the team can only play the role of spoiler.

It’s the final home game of the year for the Falcons, but that’s not going to matter much as Ohio’s running game should kick in from the start.

The Bobcats have rushed for 200 yards or more in each of their last four games. That only led to two wins, but the Bowling Green defensive front won’t be able to hold down QB Nathan Rourke and the deep backfield.

This is a painfully flawed Ohio team – Bowling Green will be able to throw a little bit – but it’ll control the game from the start.

Texas A&M (7-3) vs. Georgia (9-1) Game Preview

If want in on this week’s games, sign up with BetMGM

Why Texas A&M Will Win

Georgia is the exact type of team that should be in Texas A&M’s wheelhouse.

The Aggie passing game has been fine, but it’s a team that likes to own the time of possession battle, keep the tempo down, and battle in low scoring fights. That’s Georgia.

The Bulldogs are fantastic. They have amazing lines, Jake Fromm is Jake Fromm, and the defense is getting the job done, but it’s not going go all LSU and put up 50 points on the board.

It likes to control the clock – that’s not going to be easy against the Aggie bunch that can grind drives out – and it needs to win third down battles on both sides. Texas A&M is terrific on the money downs, is terrific at keeping the big pass plays to a minimum, and it’s been locking down on the struggling passing games.

Over the last four games, the Aggies haven’t allowed a team to complete more than 46% of its passes, haven’t given up a touchdown throw in three of those four, and on the year, are allowing fewer than six yards per pass.

As good as Fromm is, he’s been under 47% over the last two games against Missouri and Auburn and hasn’t thrown for more than 175 yards in three of his last four dates. However …

– “Go to the bank!” Today’s top pick of the day just released

Why Georgia Will Win

Fromm isn’t screwing up.

He threw three interceptions against South Carolina, and that’s been it. He might not be bombing away down the field, but his style is working with the overall scheme of what the team does. It might not be scintillating, but it’s awful effective.

No, he’s not bombing away, but he has thrown seven touchdown passes and no picks in his last three games.

On the other side, the run defense has been a bear.

Vanderbilt, South Carolina, and Kentucky. Those are the only three teams to run for 100 yards or more against the nation’s third-best defense. The line isn’t doing a ton to get into the backfield, but eats up everything.

How good has this underappreciated group been? It hasn’t allowed more than five yards per carry in any game, only gave up more than four to Kentucky in a 21-0 win, and over the last three games when it’s been time to step it up, it held Florida, Missouri and Auburn to a combined 155 rushing yards and just over two yards per carry.

[lawrence-related id=500899]

What’s Going To Happen

Kellen Mond needs to be fantastic for A&M.

He was great against Auburn – throwing for 335 yards and two scores, but he struggled against Clemson and was just okay when the game was still on against Alabama.

He’ll be good enough to throw a scare into the Dawgs, but the lack of a running game is going to be a killer.

Back to the Georgia run defense, Texas A&M has rushed for 125 yards or fewer four times this season. Once was in the inexplicably close win against Arkansas, and the other three times were against Clemson, Alabama and Auburn – the three losses.

This is the first time the two teams have met since Texas A&M joined the SEC, and just the fifth time overall. Georgia won the 2009 Independence Bowl 44-20 – that was the last time they played. Before that, it was a 42-0 wipeout by the eventual national champion Bulldogs in 1980. Before that? 1954.

This one will be bigger than the other five – A&M leads the head-to-head matchup 3-2, starting with a win in the 1950 Presidential Cup – with Georgia evening the series.

Former USF quarterback Chris Oladokun is at the helm of a terrific passing attack that pushes the ball deep, has enough receiving weapons to spread it around, and can keep on pressing.

There’s a running game – Oladokun can take off, and he’s great around the goal line – but the offense is at its best when it’s bombing away. The team doesn’t make a whole slew of mistakes, there’s a good pace and tempo to the attack, and it’ll keep the chains moving.

However …

Why Auburn Will Win

There’s no Samford defense, especially against the run.

There have been some decent moments, but there’s not enough pressure in the backfield and the better-running FCS teams haven’t had any issues tearing off 250 yards or more.

If they want to, the Tigers can win by blasting away and controlling the clock – Samford doesn’t care about time of possession – but the goal here to get better and more consistent through the air.

Bo Nix had a decent day against Georgia, but there weren’t any big plays. He only averaged 4.9 yards per throw, and with Bama coming up next, this is another chance to tune up and air it out. The Bulldog secondary doesn’t come up with enough takeaways, and it can be bombed on way too easily.

What’s Going To Happen

Auburn beat Samford 31-7 back in 2014, and as a program, it’s been hit-or-miss against the FCS teams on the schedule in terms of ease.

There won’t be any problems this week.

The Tiger offensive line will blast away from the start, Nix will be deadly accurate at moving the chains, and it’ll be on to Alabama by the third quarter.

Samford will score, and Auburn will still want to try a wee bit, but …

This is the tune and rest game for the Tigers.
