The Predictions Dept. slid under the 80-percent mark for the first time this season on the back of a mediocre Week 11. Given the lack of competitive matchups this week, it would be difficult not to rise back above the 80-percent mark heading into Week 13. The rescheduled Florida-LSU game is by far the most intriguing of Week 12’s games, to the extent that Mississippi State-Arkansas is the next-best offering on the sheet.

The Predictions Dept. bounced back last week, missing only on Tennessee-South Carolina as the Volunteers entered full meltdown mode. This week, Alabama-LSU is undoubtedly the premier game in the conference, but Florida-Arkansas might get intriguing and Kentucky will try to keep its slim SEC East hopes alive while hosting Georgia.

A second consecutive poor week for the Predictions Dept. has caused us to reevaluate our feelings about several teams in the middle of the SEC pack. While Alabama is off this week, Bama fans won’t find much to look at from the rest of its conference neighbors. Auburn has the key game of the week, facing a tired and beaten-up Ole Miss squad, while Tennessee tries to avoid having its season fall apart when it visits defensive-minded South Carolina.

The Predictions Dept. finally had its first bad week of the year, going 50/50 on its picks. Thankfully, it was a small slate of games, so there wasn’t much damage to the season record. This week, Alabama has the headline game once again, but Arkansas-Auburn and Ole Miss-LSU will both bring plenty of drama.

The Predictions Dept. scored its second consecutive undefeated week, with the pick in the LSU-Florida game being pushed back along with the game itself. This week’s primary attraction is Alabama-Tennessee, but Ole Miss and Arkansas will battle in an interesting SEC West tilt while Mississippi State faces BYU in one very weird interregional matchup.
