Game-by-Game Predictions
South Carolina at Texas A&M – 11:00 a.m. CT
Texas A&M maintains one of the most balanced rosters in the SEC. South Carolina continues to struggle with consistency and depth. The Aggies’ defensive front should control the game early.
Prediction: Texas A&M 38, South Carolina 17
Arkansas at LSU – 11:45 a.m. CT
LSU is competing under interim leadership and has been streaky, but Arkansas’s defensive issues persist. LSU’s offensive playmakers give them enough to separate late.
Prediction: LSU 34, Arkansas 27
Tennessee Tech at Kentucky – 12:30 p.m. CT
This non-conference matchup serves as a tune-up for Kentucky. Tennessee Tech cannot match the Wildcats’ speed or depth.
Prediction: Kentucky 41, Tennessee Tech 10
Oklahoma at Alabama – 2:30 p.m. CT
This is one of the defining games of the entire week. Alabama’s defense has been sturdy enough to support a run-first offense, while Oklahoma remains explosive but inconsistent on the line of scrimmage. Home-field advantage in Tuscaloosa is another major factor.
Prediction: Alabama 24, Oklahoma 10
New Mexico State at Tennessee – 3:15 p.m. CT
Tennessee has been efficient and productive against weaker opponents this season. New Mexico State should not be able to keep pace against Tennessee’s tempo.
Prediction: Tennessee 45, New Mexico State 13
Florida at Ole Miss – 6:00 p.m. CT
Ole Miss remains inside the national top ten due to its efficiency on offense and improved defensive play. Florida continues to battle inconsistency in both phases of the game.
Prediction: Ole Miss 35, Florida 20
Texas at Georgia – 6:30 p.m. CT
This is the premier game of Week 12. Texas enters with renewed energy behind Arch Manning, while Georgia remains one of the most complete teams in the country. Georgia’s ability to limit explosive plays at home is the deciding factor.
Prediction: Georgia 34, Texas 28
Missouri at Mississippi State – 6:45 p.m. CT
Missouri leads the league in rushing production and should be able to control the pace. Mississippi State is fighting for bowl eligibility and may keep it competitive, but Missouri’s ground game separates late.
Prediction: Missouri 31, Mississippi State 24
