The “no lines” were fairly accurate last week as the expected one-sided games were indeed one-sided.
This week, not so much.
There is intrigue at every SEC stop today with the possible exception of Arkansas and LSU, each of which has a chance to relax and catch its breath before the final few lengths of the season.
Certainly, whether Cam Newton plays will have a great swing on the Auburn-Georgia game. With Newton the Tigers have been on a rampage the last six weeks. Without him, well, it’s hard to say since we have little pertinent knowledge of backups Barrett Trotter and Neil Caudle.
As of Friday afternoon, the official word from Auburn on Newton’s eligibility for today was “No comment.” Which means, well, whatever you want it to mean. I think Newton plays, and here’s hoping the Tigers send Trotter out to take the first snap. Then let Newton sprint unto the field and let the crowd of 87,451 go nuts.
