We’re hit the final four weeks of the regular season in the 2025 college football season, and in AL.com’s staff picks. Georgia, Texas A&M and Alabama try to stay in contention for the SEC championship game and a college football playoff berth, while Auburn tries to carve a path toward bowl-eligibility. Elsewhere in the state, Jacksonville State also looks to stay atop the Conference USA standings. In our “off-field” standings, Andrew Hammond remains in first place, two games ahead of Michael Casagrand. Scroll along below to find out how the various AL.com sports staffers see this week’s big games playing out, along with predicted scores for the Auburn game. A reminder that these picks are AGAINST THE SPREAD. That means that each person’s selection doesn’t necessarily mean he or she thinks that team will win outright, just that it will cover the point spread.
