5 Fearless NCAA Football Predictions for SEC in 2018

Written by on August 15, 2018

The 2018-2019 Season is just about here. The Southeastern Conference again boasts two of the NCAA Football Betting favorites to win the Championship, Georgia, and Alabama. Check out 5 fearless college football predictions for the SEC.

5 Fearless NCAA Football Betting Predictions for SEC in 2018

SEC Prediction #1:  Georgia will lose 3 games SU

That’s 3 regular season games for the College Football National Championship runner-up. Who will the Bulldogs lose to? At South Carolina on Sep. 8, at LSU on Oct. 13, and versus Auburn on Nov. 10. Georgia’s offense is great. They lost 8 starters on defense. Not good in an improved SEC East Division.

SEC Prediction #2:  Alabama will be a losing ATS Team

This isn’t actually a fearless prediction because the Crimson Tide went 6-8 ATS last season. It is a somewhat fearless prediction because Alabama, again, will be overbet in every game that they play. The fact is that coach Nick Saban doesn’t care about spreads. He cares about winning, getting his starters to rest when Bama has big leads and getting his scrubs playing time. That will lead to plenty of non-cover performances.

SEC Prediction #3:  Florida will challenge Georgia for the SEC East Division

This is the best team that brilliant head coach Dan Mullen has ever coached. While the main man at Mississippi State, Mullen never had a team as talented as the one he’s got at Florida. He did have Dak Prescott for 4 years, but other than Dak, Mullen fielded competitive squads with less than stellar talent. With Florida talent, Mullen could turn the Gators into the SEC East monster it used to be.

SEC Prediction #4: In Jimbo Fisher’s First Year at Texas A&M, the Aggies Will Lose 5 Games

Jimbo Fisher took the money and ran to College Station, Texas. Now, he’s expected to deliver. He won’t this season. The Aggies should lose at least 4 games during the regular season. Texas A&M is one of the NCAA Football Betting favorites to win the SEC in 2018. The prediction is that the Aggies lose 5 games. Fisher just doesn’t have the talent to beat: Clemson, at Alabama, at South Carolina, at Auburn, and versus LSU.

SEC Prediction #5:  Alabama Beats Florida in the SEC Championship

Alabama is never a lock to win the SEC West Division. The Crimson Tide is the best team in college football, but they lost the Iron Bowl to Auburn last season and didn’t even get into the SEC Championship. They still managed to stamp their ticket to the College Football Playoff. This season, Alabama should go undefeated during the regular season. The Iron Bowl versus Auburn takes place in Tuscaloosa. Florida is where the real surprise comes in. Most feel the Gators are the third best team in the SEC East after Georgia and South Carolina. The guess here is that Mullen’s leadership leads to Florida leapfrogging those two SEC East rivals for a spot versus Bama in the SEC title game.
