SEC Rant 2011, Picks ATS: Week 1

THE 4TH ANNUAL SEC RANT AGAINST-THE-SPREAD COMPETITION

Who dares to make bold picks against the spread?

Thursday, September 1
Miss. State 29 MEMPHIS
KENTUCKY 19 Western Kentucky (in Nashville)

Saturday, September 3
AUBURN 21 Utah State
ALABAMA 38 Kent State
Brigham Young 3 OLE MISS
FLORIDA 35 Florida Atlantic
SOUTH CAROLINA 20.5 East Carolina
Boise State 3 GEORGIA
Oregon 1 LSU (in Dallas)

FCS Opponents
Tennessee vs. Montana
Arkansas vs. Missouri State
Vanderbilt vs. Elon



For those who haven't been through this before, games against FCS opponents are ignored. Home teams are in ALL CAPS, and favorites are listed on the left side. Spreads are locked in around Wednesday (or sometimes a little earlier if there is a Thursday night game), and are generally taken from a median spread of what's listed over at covers.com . Also for those who don't know, picks are traditionally made by just bolding the team you want to pick. Please do this, as it makes my job a lot easier, cutting down a lot on the time it takes to scroll down a thread and tabulate records.
