Saturday Seven: Tulane, LSU are no turkeys

Happy Thanksgiving!

Remember, when you read this, you owe Uncle Pdub some leftover turkey and dressing. After all, it’s your turn to deliver to me after I have been delivering some good picks for you this year.

It’s “The Saturday Seven” as I make some “Sports Takes Sure To Be Wrong (Although We Know The Majority Of These Will Be Right).

No. 23 Tulane 30, UTSA 17: The Roadrunners will be gobbled down like leftover turkey in this game.

No. 14 LSU 41, Texas A&M 23: The Aggies have no chance.

Southern 30, Grambling 23: It’s the battle for third place in the SWAC. This is the rare Bayou Classic where neither team has been a contender. As usual it should be a close game. I think Southern interim coach Terrance Graves will make a case for keeping the job.

No. 2 Ohio State 20, No. 3 Michigan 17: Upset Special. Michigan has the motivation and the home field, but something tells me that the Buckeyes have a few tricks up their sleeve to get this win. At some point not having suspended coach Jim Harbaugh on the sidelines is going to cost the Wolverines. Right?

Arkansas 34, No. 9 Missouri 28: Upset special. I’m sorry, but I still have trouble believing the Tigers are a top-10 team. Arkansas is solid and due for something good. This is an upset worth taking a flyer on.

No. 1 Georgia 38, Georgia Tech 24: What can I say? Uncle Pdub needs a gimme. I grew up in Atlanta watching this great rivalry. The Yellow Jackets should keep this game close for about a quarter.

No. 8 Alabama 33, Auburn 16: The Tigers have a history of being able to derail Tide seasons with high hopes, but that won’t be the case today. Look for Auburn to fade away in the second half.
