I'm leaning toward the under 9 on AU. Just don't see them winning more than that. Besides being significant dogs on the road to bama and Georgia, the Washington game won't be a given - especially with Malzahn's history of first game stinkers. A loss to Miss State (on the road), LSU or A&M wouldn't be a surprise either.
Kinda like the over 7 for Florida. Five losses look to be their max to me. They will be underdogs against Ga and FSU and have several toss-up games - LSU in Gainesville, Miss State in Starkville and Tenn in Knoxville. Their next most difficult game should be Mo, but with that game being late in the season and in Gainesville I expect Florida to win easily. Mullen may not have the QB needed to challenge the best in the SEC this year, but he shouldn't need one to win at least 7 games against this schedule.
