Welcome in the latest episode of that SEC podcast.

I'm your host, Michael Bratton.

Go by SEC Mike on the Twitters.

And this is round one of the double header, which means Steven Lassens here to make his SEC predictions senior editor over at

Athlon Sports. Steven, how's it going, my friend? Mike, it's going well. We've got the

playoff rankings. We've got some awesome matchups ahead this weekend. So I can't wait to get to

the Saturday's action because these matchups are going to impact the rankings a lot next week.

And, of course, these matchups also play a pretty big role in the SEC championship chase, too.

Right. So before we get to your picks, I just want to know, how confident are you this week?

We got nothing but SEC action to break down here. Are there any that you're

feeling particularly nervous about? Absolutely. I think the big ones, you know, Georgia, Ole Miss,

and Alabama, LSU are definitely hard to figure out. I would also throw South Carolina and Vanderbilt in that discussion too.

I think the others, oh, I should say Oklahoma, Missouri is like, is, that's, I've agonized over

that game all day today. So yeah, I guess it's what, four of the six that I feel not very

confident in. So, uh, perfect. Stay away from those from those on our friends over at MyBooky this week.

Yeah, no doubt.
