It’s a little late in a tough year for full redemption, but we’re finally on a bit of a roll in the final month of the regular season. Last week, Oklahoma’s 23-7 win over Florida was a relatively easy win for us with a total at under 44.5, giving us back-to-back wins for the first time this year. This week, we’ll try to stay hot with a pick in the Alabama-Vanderbilt game.
Goodspread SEC Pick of the Week
Alabama -15.5 at Vanderbilt

Alabama has faced the best four defenses in the SEC over its past four games. Coming off a stretch like that, the UA offense should have a field day against the worst scoring defense in the SEC (29.5 points per game). Turnovers have been an issue for Commodores freshman QB Jared Curtis, and the Crimson Tide defense has more pick-sixes (five) than any team in the country. With the CFP well in sight, Alabama should handle business easily. Season: 4-6 (.400). All-time: 38-23-3 (.617).
Elsewhere: A lot of early money on Tennessee has driven the Volunteers from underdogs at Texas A&M to 2.5-point favorites. … Is LSU ready to collapse? After a third loss, it bears watching against a Texas team with everything to lose coming to Baton Rouge. … Like but don’t love: Missouri +15.5 at Georgia, and the over in the same game (47.5). Georgia’s been on a roll since losing at home to Auburn, but Missouri can run the ball and keep pace offensively.
