Auburn Wire Staff makes its SEC predictions for Week 3
It’s time for the staff’s weekly SEC picks, but first, some commendations are in order.
Auburn Wire staff writer Taylor Jones can successfully boast that he picked Appalachian State to upset Texas A&M, which became a reality when the Mountaineers bested the Aggies 17-14 last Saturday. However, him and Regional Editor Patrick Conn missed after picking Pittsburgh to beat Tennessee and the entire Auburn Wire staff got burned after unanimously picking Florida to beat the Kentucky Wildcats — UF didn’t make any money, scared or otherwise.
This week was almost entirely unanimous, save for two picks from the staff that went against the gallery. See how we picked this weekend’s SEC games down below, including Auburn’s Big Ten matchup with Penn State:
