Northwestern vs Auburn 2010 Outback Bowl Picks, Predictions & Odds: The Northwestern Wildcats and Auburn Tigers will clash tomorrow afternoon at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida. The two schools will represent the Big 10 and the SEC in this year's Outback Bowl, which will get underway at 11:00am ET on New Year's Day on ESPN. 2010 Outback Bowl Picks, Predictions & Odds at SBGglobal.com have the Tigers listed as a -7.5 against the spread favorite. Northwestern followed up last season's stellar 9-4 finish with an 8-4 regular season mark and a 5-3 record in Big 10 play. The Wildcats came in fifth in the conference standings, but looked like the league winner over the last month of the season. Pat Fitzgerald's squad won four of its last five games and swept its last three contests, beating Iowa, Illinois, and Wisconsin. The Wildcats, which have been to four bowls this decade, almost upset Missouri as a +12 underdog in the 2008 Alamo Bowl. They eventually fell 23-30 in overtime to bring the school's postseason record to a lackluster 1-6. Auburn rebounded from its first losing season of the 2000's by posting a 7-5 record under new Head Coach Gene Chizek. The Tigers played extremely well out of the blocks, going 5-0 before fading in the back half of their schedule. Auburn lost five of its last seven games, including its final two outings (Georgia 24-31, Alabama 21-26), to finish conference play with a 3-5 record. The Tigers took fifth place in the SEC's West division, finishing just ahead of Mississippi State. Auburn, which averaged 32.7 points and 432 yards per game this season, is 5-1 in its last six bowl games. They last played postseason football in 2007, beating Clemson 23-20 in the Chick-fil-A Bowl. 2010 Outback Bowl Betting Trend: Northwestern is 8-2 against the spread and 7-3 straight up in its last 10 games as an underdog with a spread between 4 and 7.5.
