It's another week in the SEC, and that means another week of important games that have meaning throughout the conference, as well as nationally. As of now, the SEC has three teams in the top four, but that could change after this weekend. Here's a look at some picks and score predictions for the Week 10 slate of games in the SEC.

The Aggies have lost three in a row, so they are desperate for a win, especially after last week's bye that followed a 52-0 drubbing at the hands of Alabama. ULM has already played two SEC teams this year, so they won't be intimidated, but they are one of the worst offensive teams in the country. Even if ULM's defense can keep them in the game for a while, they don't have much of a chance against A&M.
Prediction: Texas A&M 35-14

Will Muschamp needs this game to help save his job and the Gators need it to reach a bowl game, but it won't be easy. Even without Todd Gurley, the Bulldogs have been running all over teams lately, which will put a lot of pressure on Treon Harris and the Florida offense to keep up. The Gators need to step up on defense and keep this game close or else the World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party could turn ugly.
Prediction: Georgia 28-10

Missouri is just impossible to figure out. They've been up and down more than any team in the SEC, and they've been particularly bad at home. Meanwhile, Kentucky has shown great improvement from last season and proved capable of moving the ball with a good running game and a competent young quarterback in Patrick Towles. Oddly enough, the Wildcats have been the more impressive team this season.
Prediction: Kentucky 31-21

Auburn at Ole Miss, 7:00, ESPN

This game has major implications for both teams with regard to the College Football Playoff. Ole Miss has perhaps the most dominant defense in the country, but this week they'll go head-to-head with one of the most dynamic rushing attacks. Of course, this game could come down to who wins on the other side of the ball, as Bo Wallace against the Auburn defense could decide this game.
Prediction: Ole Miss 24-21

Vandy really needs this win, and while they should be favored against ODU, the Commodores have won just two games by a combined four points this year. Vanderbilt should be able to score some points, as ODU doesn't have the athletes on defense to keep up. But senior quarterback Taylor Heinicke is having a great year for the Monarchs, and there's a real chance he can lead his team to an upset over an SEC team.
Prediction: Old Dominion 45-38

This could be a trap game for the No. 1 team in the country, as Arkansas can play with the Bulldogs if State takes them lightly. The Arkansas ground attack can be dangerous for defenses that are unprepared, but State has a front-seven that can slow them down. Dak Prescott will have plenty of opportunities to lead his team to another win and improve his Heisman campaign, although the Hogs could keep it close.
Prediction: Mississippi State 31-17

Tennessee at South Carolina, 7:30, SEC Network

The Vols pulled the upset over Carolina last year, so this is a revenge game for the Gamecocks. If Tennessee expects to beat South Carolina again, they need to get the offense going behind quarterback Joshua Dobbs. South Carolina has lost more games than expected this year, but most have been close and the Gamecocks should be able to finally pull out a close finish.
Prediction: South Carolina 31-27
