SEC Week 4 score predictions: Expert picks for winner of every college football game

Week 4 of the 2023 conference football schedule will be telling for the SEC.

Nowhere is that more true than in Tuscaloosa, which will see the conference's only top-25 matchup of the week when No. 12 Alabama hosts Lane Kiffin and No. 16 Ole Miss. The Crimson Tide's struggles three games into the season appear unprecedented under Nick Saban since his first season in 2007: They struggled in a loss to Texas and appeared even worse in a 17-3 win over South Florida.

Elsewhere, Arkansas will take on No. 13 LSU in the battle for the Golden Boot while Mississippi State and South Carolina face both attempt to overcome disappointing Week 3 losses (albeit for different reasons). Hugh Freeze's Auburn team will take on Jimbo Fisher and the Aggies while Kentucky and Vanderbilt play in the Ryan Day bowl.

No. 1 Georgia, No. 20 Tennessee, Missouri and Florida finish the Week 4 schedule with games against nonconference opponents. Which begs the question: How will our experts pick this week's games?
