My Saturday picks of ranked games are:

Bama over LSU by 10
Texas over Kansas St by 13
Mizzou over Georgia by 1 (you read it on FR!)
Oklahoma Sooners over OK St Mullets by 22
Southern Cal over Washington by 13

Can the Bulldogs beat Missouri? Easily. And that's the problem. Missouri has shown itself by having only 1 loss (a close one to ranked LSU) after playing 3 ranked teams. Georgia hasn't played any ranked teams (though Auburn gave Georgia a good workout) and I see them thinking Mizzou is a cakewalk while Georgia is looking ahead to stiffer competition from the Ole Miss Kiffins.

An interesting point someone made given the souped up nature of LSU’s offense. The only team to befuddle the magnificent Joe Burrow LSU offense in 2019 was Auburn, with Kevin Steele coaching their defense. Now he’s at Bama and has studs everywhere.

Lots of plays are getting over ruled by. the officials so makes the conspiracy theory of. game fixing by. the. betters looks more real.

Jimmy the Greek Snyder was a great odds-maker back in the day. I saw him interviewed a few decades ago and the interviewer noted that he had picked every Super Bowl correctly except for Super Bowl III where Namath led the Jets to upset the then Baltimore Colts. The old fella noted that his business was not to pick the winner but to set the odds to even out the betting.

A fella who knew how to bet was Minnesota Fats who lived for years in Nashville’s Hermitage Hotel. He went on Teddy Bart’s local television show and demonstrated his pool shooting talents. He set up a shot and made it and then bet Bart a thousand dollars against a quarter that he could not replicate the shot. Bart accepted the bet, missed the shot, and Fats said in his heavy Yankee urban accent, “Ya see, now I got your quarter”.

I dunno about Auburn/Steele being able to slow down LSU in 2019. LSU got 508 yards on Auburn that year. Of course, an argument could be made that Auburn's not-so-productive offense meant LSU had 13 possessions that game (not counting the 1 to 3 play possessions LSU had at the end of each half). So 508 yards ÷ 13 possessions = 39 yards per possession -- maybe Auburn's defense did slow LSU down some.

I remember Teddy Bart, very low key interviewer almost to the point of catatonic!

Yes, he was professional, trendy, and often very flat in personality. But at least he didn’t make the interview about himself like Geraldo does. I sometimes saw Bart jogging on Hillsboro High’s track.

“I dunno about Auburn/Steele being able to slow down LSU in 2019.”

They got 23 points. They usually got 50. That was as an amazing team.
