TCU @ SMU Over 54
Early Saturday Release:
South Carolina vs. Auburn 7:45pm Saturday 9/25
It seems like every year Steve Spurrier creates this hype for this South Carolina team that can never quite live up to it. This year however is different. With an experienced and balanced offense and arguably the best SEC run defense so far this year SC looks to finally live up to the hype. Although Garcia has been awful on the road, when you have Latimore taking over games, a strong defense, power run game, and play action, all Garcia has to do is manage the game, not win it in order to walk away with a win this weekend. Also SC’s tall physical wide receivers should be able to dominate this weak Auburn secondary who struggled against a far inferior Clemson team. Defensively this SC team is allowing just less than 60 yards a game which will force Cam Newton to win this game with his arm and so far yes he has shown he is an unbelievable athlete but as a quarterback has been less than stellar. As all big SEC games this one will no doubt be a barn burner but all I can say is drink that kool-aid take the points and South Carolina who should win this game outright.
Gamecocks are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games as an underdog
Tigers are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games as a favorite.
