Texas A&M VS LSU

Location: Tiger Stadium, Baton Rouge, LA

Game Time: Saturday, November 28 7:30PM ET

TV: SEC Network

Will this be the last time we see Les Miles coach from the home sideline in Tiger Stadium? That appears to be the $15 million dollar question. Reports out of Baton Rouge almost all but guarantee that. Miles is a proven winner and a class act on most accounts. Nonetheless, Saturday night is big for both LSU and Texas A&M. Both teams are fighting for bowl rankings, but which team will show up inspired? LSU has the chance to send Miles out with a bang Saturday night, but the previous three weeks have certainly killed morale in the locker room. For Texas A&M, what started as a promising season quickly evaporated. The Aggies have had more time to cope with reality, though, than the Tigers. The more inspired team wins this ball game.

Missouri VS Arkansas

Location: Razorback Stadium, Fayetteville, AR

Game Time: Friday, November 27 2:30PM ET

TV: CBS

What a gut wrenching loss for the Razorbacks last weekend. Arkansas certainly knows what the winning side of that deal feels like, but the losing side is downright devastating. How will the Razorback’s respond this weekend? Missouri enters with 5 wins and one last opportunity at bowl eligibility. In Gary Pinkel’s last game, I suspect the Tigers will pull out everything they have to send their head coach out with a bowl bid. The matchup is rather interesting. Arkansas’s offense has looked unstoppable the past few weeks, but Missouri possesses a decent defense it doesn’t get much credit for. Missouri’s offense, however, has been non-existent all year. Then again, so has Arkansas’s defense. Look for a good game Friday and a great warm-up for what should be a great SEC rivalry weekend.
