1/1/2024 0 Comments Week 5 betting percentagesKevin: Auburn’s going to win the game, but 33 points seems like a hefty spread to cover for the Tigers. Louisiana-Monroe has looked pretty bad this year but is coming off a bye. Had LSU not botched the clock late or Danny Etling (twice!) missed a wide open Malachi Dupre in the red zone on the final drive, Malzahn may have been the one fired this week. With much of LSU’s offensive woes being caused by self-inflicted decisions and errors, last weekend’s game could have gone very differently for Auburn. Michael: While Gus Malzahn stripping himself of his play-calling duties may have looked like a success - after narrowly escaping the LSU game with a win - the Tigers failed to score even a single touchdown last weekend and stalled upon approaching the end zones. I’ll take the Gators to cover barely.įlorida 24, Vanderbilt 13 Louisiana-Monroe vs. However, I think Florida’s second half last week will be enough motivation to play hard, especially on defense. Vanderbilt isn’t a good team, but a few mistakes could keep the final score within a single-digit margin and permit the ‘Dores to cover the spread. As such, Florida’s probably looking at an 8-4, 9-3 season at best this year. Tennessee dropped some passes that likely would’ve kept them in the game. Kevin: The Gators had two very different halves of football against Tennessee last week, but the first half had some cracks in it, too. Derek Mason’s crew gutted you an overtime win against Western Kentucky last weekend, but the coaching matchup here is so one-sided, I’m taking the Gators to cover in Nashville. A similar mistake could open the door for Vanderbilt in this game.ĭespite the flaws of the offense, the Gators’ defense should have little problem controlling Vanderbilt’s one-dimensional offense led by running back Ralph Webb. While he should be given credit for playing despite obvious pain, he lost a punt inside the five and fielded another one inside the 1-yard line against Tennessee. The game could have shaken Appleby’s confidence for good, which may have been the reason McElwain opened the door for Luke Del Rio to return so early this week.Īnother area of concern last week was the decision-making of Antonio Callaway. Jim McElwain and his offensive staff called a beautiful game in the first half and had the offense rolling under Austin Appleby but got way too conservative in the second half. Michael: The biggest question in this game is how Florida responds to the epic second-half collapse suffered against the Vols last weekend. As such, our prediction performance naturally dropped last week compared to the previous week.īefore we dive into the Week 5 games, here are the week-by-week results between Kevin and Michael’s SEC picks.
