First up is the the Georgia Bulldogs.
Every Auburn fan, player, coach, etc. remembers last year's game with the Dawgs very clearly...Watch me crank it, watch me roll, Watch me crank dat, Soulja Boy... Even the CBS crew took part!
That was the scene to start the 4th quarter at Samford Stadium. Auburn closed shop, balls were
hitting off of receiver's helmets and landing into Georgia's hands, and the Dawgs kept scoring, scoring, and scoring. It was a long night between the hedges. Georgia was a good football team, but the fact Auburn couldn't do anything right made the Dawgs look like the New England Patriots. Lastly, those black jerseys and the scene of the "Blackout" was awesome! It didn't help them in the Bama game this year, but they chicken kicked Auburn in them.Cue 2008 in Auburn's Jordan Hare Stadium...
Auburn is at a disappointing 5-5 on the year, searching for a way to end the year on some sort of high note. The blame of this season's blunder can be dished out o'plenty. However, no one wants to hear excuses and excuses don't get you anywhere. Auburn has two games remaining that can make a statement, but also establish a sense of PRIDE.
Auburn has many, many players on their roster that are from the state of Georgia. Mix those players with the thoughts of last year's beating and showboating from the Dawg and you see there is plenty to play for. The big question is: Is Auburn up to the challenge?
The Georgia Bulldogs have shown have shown this year that they are vulnerable and can be beaten. However, they can be deadly as well. They have weapons galore and the offensive side the ball in Moreno, Greene & Massaquoi at the receiver spots, and then there's Stafford. Hence being ranked #1 in scoring offense in the SEC. The Dawg defense is suspect and known for giving up some points (38 to Kentucky, 49 to Florida, and 38 to LSU). They can be scored on, but can they be contained? Yes, but it's not easy.
The Auburn Tigers are on the back nine of a dismal season. It's been a roller coaster that hasn't been fun to watch. However, they have a chance to gain back some pride they have lost along the way starting tomorrow against the Dawgs. The offense under Kodi Burns is getting better,
but it is still not a masterpiece by far. There is still no consistency and they are predictable to other defenses. Auburn is going to have to throw the ball because of defenses stacking the box for the run. Mario Fannin looks to be getting the start at running back this week. Hopefully he can provide a spark and Tate and Lester can follow suit. The Auburn defense has gotten some much needed guys healthy for the showdown tomorrow (Coleman, Marks, and Doolittle) and they seriously need them to play. The Auburn defense will have to be lights out because they will be tested in every aspect.I stepped out on a limb a couple weeks ago with some friends saying Auburn wins one of the next two (Georgia and/or Alabama) if there is any of the "Tuberville" left in Tuberville (meaning he wins some he isn't supposed to). You can imagine the responses I got in return. If there is one team they match up better with--it is Georgia. A win over Georgia would be a big win for Auburn and a devastating loss to the Dawgs. Auburn owes UGA something for the recent beatings they've handed out to the Tigers. Tomorrow's game could very well be ugly in the fact the Georgia is very capable of running Auburn out of their own house, however, Auburn is very capable of playing a good game and beating Georgia.
I'll stick with my statement and say:
BEATS 
**Other picks**
Alabama over Mississippi State (but, doesn't cover)
Florida over South Carolina
Texas over Kansas
Florida State over Boston College.
