SEC Game Predictions: Larry's Losers in the SEC for Week Eleven

Hello again folks! Bacardi and I are still playing bogie golf in pigskin predictions and took another loss this past week because Alabama pass defenders thought it might be a good idea to let LSU's best receiver run down the field alone.

Well, at least we weren't alone in our poor judgment of that game.

But six out of seven brings the season total up to 64-11 and we're still hanging around the 83 percent range.

If we don't start hitting some perfect weeks, we're gonna slide right down into the C range and that just isn't acceptable. So with this week's batch of smart cookies still warm out of the oven, let's get to pickin' before the cookies wear off.

Mississippi State at Alabama - Dan's Doggies come a calling to Bryant Denny Stadium to see if they can kick a pachyderm while he's down, but Nick Saban's not having any of that.

With one team on the rise and one in a slide something's got to give in this game. So far, Alabama's two losses have been on the road while the Dogs dropped one at home and one on the road.

But we both feel that Alabama won't let the home folks down and it's pachyderms over pooches this Saturday in a good defensive battle.

Larry's Loser - Mississippi State

University of Texas at El Paso at Arkansas - Another one of those directional schools, this time the El Paso branch of Texas comes calling on an SEC team to provide a win and rest for Arkansas.

With some tough games coming up, the Piggies rest easy this one and Ryan Mallett can pad his numbers.

The Miners from El Paso will quickly learn that you don't come to a pig pen to mine because you'll only come up with manure.

Larry's Loser - Texas El Paso

Georgia at Auburn - The close neighbors of the Tigers and Bulldogs get together again this week in one of the SEC's oldest rivalries. The Bulldogs are hoping the Tigers will look past the mangy mongrels and surprise them with a little doggie defeat.

Cam Newton and his supporting cast of Tigers hope to get everyone talking about the dazzling Auburn offense and less about how Cam came to be a War Eagle nester.

This is the perfect upset game for Auburn, they've got a chip on their shoulder that'll take someone bigger than this year's pack of pooches from Athens to knock off. Auburn will keep right on track for the big game in Tuscaloosa.

Larry's Loser - Georgia

Louisiana Monroe at LSU - Les Miles and his Bayou Bengals entertain their little brother Warhawks from up the road for a Saturday Night dinner at the Louisiana Big House.

These Warhawks are real bird brains if they don't realize what Les Miles has planned for the main course, but I think they'll get the message when the first whistle blows and the pluckin' commences.

In the brutal world of the SEC everybody needs a little rest and a good meal, and by the end of the night the Bengals' bellies should be full and they should be rested up to finish their SEC schedule.

Larry's Loser - Louisiana Monroe

Ole Miss at Tennessee - The battle of the bottom feeders takes place in Hardknoxville this Saturday, and both these teams need an SEC win worse than Texas' Mack Brown needs another book of excuses.

Tennessee is hoping they can hold the high ground on their home field and fend off the Rebels, but Houston Nutt figures you don't need to know the lay of the land as much as you need to simply line up your opponent in the cross hair and shoot straight.

When the smoke from all these all these muskets finally clears the air and they can count the casualties, the grass will have a lot more orange than blue and white and the Volunteers will just have to wait another day for that elusive SEC win.

Larry's Loser - Tennessee

South Carolina at Florida - In the SEC game of the week, the Old Ball Coach brings the Cocks down to the Swamp for a little Alligator wrestling and a chance to see who will go on to the SEC Championship.

Urban Meyer is living the nightmare season at Florida this year that nobody saw coming and the four or five losses they could get handed to them this season makes this group of Gators merely little lizards.

But after high hopes and a fast start, now the prize pullets of Carolina Country are looking at a four to five loss season themselves.

This game will do a lot for the victor and send the loser into further depression. Although this is a toughie to predict, the prize pick'em pooch and I both feel that the Carolina Cluckers can muster enough manpower to maul 'em some Gators.

Larry's Loser - Florida

Vanderbilt at Kentucky - The Commodores sailed the leaky sloop up the docks at Commonwealth Stadium in Kentucky and hope to catch a cat napping and sail away with another SEC win.

But Joker Phillips has other plans and aims to use this Saturday to notch the Kitties' sixth win to get them bowl eligible and keep that streak alive.

Unless the Commodores bore the Wildcats to death, there isn't much hope that they can leave with anything less than another long walk home and another sunk ship for the boys from the Country Crooner Corner.

Larry's Loser - Vanderbilt

And that's it for this week folks, I gotta go pet the pooch, he's still grieving the Alabama loss last week. He thinks because he didn't wear his lucky collar it was all his fault, but I think it might have had something to do with letting one of the SEC's most dangerous receivers run down the field without taking a defender along for the trip, but that's just me.

Until next week, keep the big prize in your eyes and don't let an occasional bump in the road steer you too far off course. For Bacardi and me, we wish you a great weekend and we'll see you back here next week.
