Each season I predict SEC games here on my blog, “Vince’s View.”
These are straight-up picks. The point spreads are just for some context of who the favorites are. I will list broadcast information all season as well.
Below are my predictions for Week 3 of the college football season. I’ve skipped analysis on the FCS opponents.
Check back here all season for score predictions on every game involving an SEC team all the way through the bowl season and perhaps, again, the national championship game.
