Joining us for this week's prediction is former Tennessee, Kentucky, and Florida offensive lineman, Gerald Mincey, who has been repping the Vols since he completed his college career.

He follows behind Devrin Young, Bru McCoy, Jabari Davis, and Gerald Riggs Jr., as he looks to climb the guest leaderboard.

Here is who we have all selected to win each game in the SEC this weekend. But first, we encourage everyone to follow Gerald Mincey on Instagram and X.
