Back to you guys in Atlanta. Matt Taylor, thank you. Reporters assembled. Here we go. It is time for picks. This is what matters on games where they weren't going to pick the other team. We go to a prop. No one was going to pick Auburn to upset Old Miss. So, we're going to go prop here. Trinidad Chamblas has averaged 273 passing yards per game in conference play. First pick over under 272 a half passing yards. Trinidad Chamblas. I think without Kiwan Lacy, it forces him to put more on Trinidad and I think he goes over slightly, but I think actually a lot of that is because the man coverage Auburn's going to play and they get a few big chunks in it. I think Auburn's going to go back and forth with

him, but I think a few big plays, especially Deuce Alexander, he goes just over. We were at the LSU Auburn game. We saw what Sam Levit did through the air in that game. I think it's over. I think it's going to be at least 300 yards passing. You hit it. No, Kiwan Lacy. And this is what we talked about this old miss team. have to be great Trinidad Chamblas and I think this starts it. I think this starts their run toward the CFPB. Yeah, I think it's over big. I like 300 plus yards for Trinidad Chambers in this game just knowing where the way Auburn likes to play man-to-man coverage. Not only that, but they like to play outside man-to-man coverage. So, the inside

breaking routes will be more open and that's one of the best throws that Trinidad Chamblas makes. I give me the over for that for Trinidad in the effort to move this segment along. Over. Paul's good at that. Paul's good. So, four overs for Trinidad Chambers. Our next pick is Missouri and Arkansas. No one was going to pick Arkansas. So, today's prop, Missouri's average 161 rushing yards per game this season. Remember, they get Hardy coming back over under 160. I'm in the young man. I'm believing in the young man. Am Hardy gets some. I think Jamal Roberts is also going to get a bunch. I think they get just over.

Yeah, look, Jamal Roberts leading rusher in the SEC and this is a line that's going to hit the over in my opinion because of Ahmad Hardy. I think Ahmad Hardy gets 10 to 12 carries through the game, but I think he probably breaks one, gets that 50 to 60 yard. I hope so for him. And this Missouri team and then you're going to see this, we called it pony 21 where there's two backs on the same time of the same field. It's going to be really scary for Arkansas. Missouri's a pass first team. They're going to come out and throw the football in this game and then they're going to run it some more. They're going to get their sexy back. I got the over for Missouri. I think they just put on a

really good offensive performance today. Get back on track. Sexy gets back. I mean, it's Arkansas as well. I'm going to go over, but I want to talk about Missouri for just a second because I think they are going to ruin somebody's season here in the next few weeks. Arkansas season is already gone, but just keep your eye on the Missouri Tigers these next three or four weeks. And they have the schedule, as I said earlier in the show, to make a run. All right, we've got Mississippi State and Texas. No one was going to pick the Bulldogs. We're propping Arch Manning who's averaging two pass and a rushing touchdown per game this season. This is a combined touchdown scenario for Arch over under two and a half total touchdowns.

I think he's over. I think he has a big day through the air and I think he might also get one through the ground. Yeah, I'm going to go ahead and go over as well. We saw the tape earlier in the show where we talked about, hey, running the football, using his legs more. He had two rushing touchdowns last week. I think that's going to be the key to unlocking this offense. I think they're going to continue throwing the football down the field. Cam Coleman, stop dropping the football. Like, stop dropping the football. Ryan Wingo, Cam Coleman, you do you two can get rolling. This is a scary Texas team. If Arch gets rolling like he did last year, it's it's dangerous. So, every team that's played

Mississippi State has had their best game as far as Keelin Russell, John Mat had his best game last week. I think Arch Manning had his best game of his career versus Mississippi State just a year or so ago. I got Arch I got him running two touchdowns and then I got him getting a third. So I think he's going to Yeah, I think he's got three touchdowns in it. So because it's combined, correct? Yes. I'll take that. Remember this time last year, by the way, when he was struggling starting November 1st, he had the second best QBR the rest of the way. There's your Matt St. Matt stat took all day. It was right here 14 months ago where I made one of

my greatest predictions of all time that Arch Manning would be the best player in college football since Tim Tibo. I don't remember what the question was. I just wanted to get that all. So you're going to go you're going over. Yeah, that was that declarative statement. So you're going over. I love it. So the prop bets are done. Let's get into the football games. I called this one earlier the Enigma Bowl because you just don't know which Oklahoma and which South Carolina is going to step up. The Oklahoma defense good. John Matir up and down. Lenor Sers at any given point could be the best quarterback in the country. And there's SEC Nation implications.

Over this one. Maybe the hardest game we've had to pick in a while. Oklahoma. South Carolina. I think Oklahoma's a better team and they're playing at home. I just think South Carolina has the two best players on the field. They do. Dylan Stewart, Lenora Sers. I think they show up and they play big in this one and they make a couple of freakish plays to win a really competitive game. Look, this is a very difficult game to pick because Oklahoma I'm with you. Like I almost want them to continue to be good and some ruin some people's seasons and you look at John Matir the last few games they're not scoring a lot of

points offensively. You said it's a race of 24. I actually agree with that. But if John Matier can get going, the South Carolina defense is okay, right? You got to figure out Dylan Stewart. On the other side of things, you know what month it is. It's October. I'm not going to say it. But it is Lenor Sellers time. It absolutely is like the way he's playing football right now through the air on the ground. It's one of those things where you get a little momentum and Paul said it. You're going to ruin some teams seasons and it starts again at Oklahoma. I got the Gamecooxs. Okay, that's two. Look, they can ruin a couple of seasons still.

Yeah, I really like South Carolina and Lenor Cers is playing great. Oklahoma, I said John Matir forgave himself. They finally ran the football somewhat effectively. This game is a race to 24 points. Period. And the first team to get there wins the game today. Yeah. I'm going with Oklahoma. No, you're not. To win this game in a close one. Very, very close. I like Oklahoma. It's at home. I think their defense makes enough plays. Okay. Yeah. Kate Sandell actually makes kicks today. Oh. And they win this game through off of his foot. Maybe in a late one.

24-21. Yes. Yeah. Something like that. I think that was the best pick of the day right there because I thought that I saw this trend going away and then Matt you were going to say why did you all pick South Carolina? Well, I'm foolish because if you pick one team, I go the other way. South Carolina wins this game. You mess up the cocktover suite, man. What are we doing? Look, I got to make up some ground. I'm not going to sit up here and just stay behind. That's what this is about. You don't believe this for a second, do you?

Roman's got to make his run. It's the final month of the season. Trying to make a push. Ma, our game here, the cocktail party in Georgia between Florida and Georgia. Now, one of the things that makes a rivalry game great is hatred and disagreement. If you ask Georgia, this is the 105th meeting. If you ask Florida, this is the 104th because they'll tell you they weren't recognized as a university till 1905 and didn't have a football team until 1906. And only Finebomb can cover that era of this series. But as for today, it just feels different.

Nowhere else in the entire world than right here, right now. Don't take it for granted. WE CONTROL THIS. WE PRACTICE THE RIGHT WAY. HIM OR ME. GAY. AND WE ALL WANT ONE. LET'S GO. OH, do that. Here we go. It's what matters. Florida, Georgia, a prediction. 3:30 Eastern on A B C. Paul, lead us off. Yeah. I can't wait to hear what Tim has to say, but I'm going to make this very simple. Georgia is really good. Florida is a mystery. This is not a difficult pick at all. The dogs are going to win. Dogs are barking already. We got a Georgia pick from Paul Roman.

I when I look I think George is the better team like Paul said, but Florida, they do have a path to victory. This is the first time I've been able to say that. Okay. And I like the fact it but I got to see both of these quarterbacks play. If they play both of these quarterbacks, it is a chance they go out here and win this game. And it doesn't even look that close. And honestly, but Georgia is going to win the game. I just like Georgia overall. I believe I trust Kirby is smart. Kirby is smart as well. I want to get this over to Tim, but I've heard Georgia, you guys got a little song. What's that coming down the track?

You got to say the I don't know the rest. It's Georgia. Tim, what do you got? All right, so we got three Georgees sweep. I tell you, Tim, it's all yours. I love that Aaron starting and I love that Tal's I believe he's going to play. I love that Florida's healthy, but when you look at it as a whole, I just think Kirby Smart's the best coach in the country. I think that I think Georgia's the most complete team and I think they got the most trusted quarterback in Gunnar Stockton. So that leads me to then, oh remember also that we just heard that piece on Jaden Ball and then my friend Jonah over there he's he's dealing with brain cancer and

then I see my sister and I even argue with my pastor who's a Georgia fan and THEN I REMEMBER WAITING FOR SOMETHING SO MUCH MORE THAN JUST A GAME. IT'S ABOUT PRIDE AND GUESS WHAT? WE'RE GOING TO RUN THE DANG BALL WITH J BALL AND HE'S GOING TO GET THE JOB DONE. YOU KNOW WHY? CUZ HE'S PUTTING IT ON HIS BACK CUZ HE IS a Gator. HE DECIDED TO STAY. HE MAKES A STATEMENT IN ATLANTA TODAY. WHAT ARE WE GOING TO SAY? Go Gator. TAKE THE HAMMER. Get up there. Do it. THIRD AND DO IT. They want to back in a Gator's helmet. What a game we'll have today. This has been easy and we think it's Marty McGee coming up next.

Trying to knock me off my feet. Still standing with more money than I came with. Damn. Took a loss, but I'm still a gambling man.
