Auburn vs South Carolina 2010 SEC Championship Game Picks, Predictions & Odds: BCS No. 1 ranked Auburn Tigers (12-0, 8-0 SEC) will look to nail down a spot in the BCS National Championship Game with a victory over the No. 19 South Carolina Gamecocks when the schools collide in the SEC Championship Game at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, Georgia, with kickoff set for 4 PM Eastern (CBS).
Oddsmakers at Sportsbook.com and most betting sites across the offshore college football board, list the Tigers as 4-chalk favorites versus South Carolina with a 62 1/2 total.
The Tigers have been the most interesting and most newsworthy college football team in 2010. Led by junior-college transfer quarterback Cameron Newton, Auburn has navigated the tumultous waters of the SEC to an undefeated 12-0 regular season and is on the cusp of getting a shot at the BCS Championship; but only if they can defeat the often unpredictable Gamecocks, coached by the old ballcoach himself, Steve Spurrier.
Pundits predict Auburn's downfall week after week. They were predicted to be losers at Alabama last week and defied critics by overcoming a 24-point deficit to win 28-27. Four other times the Tigers came from behind to claim victory, including their win in Week-4 over today's opponent, South Carolina.
The truth is, the Tigers have become better week after week; and their most impressive performance to date was last week at Alabama. There is no way, Auburn comes into today's game unprepared. South Carolina is a dangerous team; especially when healthy. The Gamecocks have enough balance, running and passing, to give anybody fits. If their running game is working well and quarterback Matt Garza is focused, the Gamecocks could pull out a SU win.
Reno Gold's pick: I stuck with Auburn last week because I thought they were the better team. Backers who rolled with my pick came away winners. Today' there are pundits who are calling for the Gamecocks to upset the Tigers, and they have their reasons. However, Auburn is on a roll, covering ATS in five straight and seven of their last eight games. They are better than the Gamecocks, and trust me when I say, they will be well prepared for this – must win – game. Take the Tigers -4.
