NCAA Betting Total Odds: O/U 44.5
Two teams from the SEC will be facing off when the Auburn Tigers visit the South Carolina Gamecocks. The kickoff is set for 7:00 ET on Saturday.
Both of these squads lost in the previous week. They will look to get back on track.
Auburn opened up the week as a 10.5 point favorite and that number is down to 7.5. I have seen the total listed at 44.5, but there are some that show 45.
Auburn Tigers
To me, Auburn is like Penn State. They play well to a certain point, but they cannot put it all together. They just cannot seem to get over that hump.
The Tigers lost last week to the Mississippi State Bulldogs by a score of 43-34. This was a game where they held a big lead for a while. They should be embarrassed at the fact that they blew that lead.
Bo Nix was 27/41 for 377 yards with 2 touchdown passes on Saturday. He will look to keep that good play up when he goes against South Carolina.
The running game was not very effective in the loss to the Bulldogs. They did a good job of neutralizing Tank Bigsby. The leading receiver was Kobe Hudson who had 8 receptions for 107 yards.
A lot of people have been impressed with this defense and rightfully so, but it was terrible against Mississippi State. The unit allowed Will Rogers to throw for six touchdowns. If you are an elite defense, you simply do not allow that to happen.
South Carolina Gamecocks
Once again, South Carolina is a very inconsistent football team. You never truly know what to expect from them.
The Gamecocks lost a close one to the Missouri Tigers last week by a score of 31-28. After beating Florida in the previous week by as much as they did, they should have been able to beat a very average team in Mizzou.
Against the Tigers, Jason Brown was 16/30 for 193 yards with 2 touchdown passes and 1 pick. He will need to be more accurate in this game with Auburn.
Yes, they scored 28 points, but I expected this offense to do more against a defense in Missouri that has been brutal all year long. Things will be much harder when they have to face this Auburn defense on Saturday.
Defensively, there is still a lot of room for improvement for these guys. Allowing the Gators to only score 17 was impressive, but they followed that up by allowing Missouri to do what they wanted to do out there. They will have their hands full when they try and slow down an explosive offense in Auburn.

Free Week 12 NCAA Football Pick
Will South Carolina be able to knock off Auburn for the 2nd year in a row?
I am going with South Carolina at +7.5 here.
4* Free Week 12 NCAA Betting Pick:
Auburn is not the dominant team they used to be. I do feel they can win here, but I am not sold on them covering.
Look, Florida clearly is not the team we are used to seeing, but when South Carolina trounced them, I did give the Gamecocks some credit. Not only did they cover as a massive underdog in that game, but they also won by 23 points. I am not saying they will win here, but I like their chances of covering.
Even though 7.5 is not the highest spread in the world, I do not feel great with Auburn covering. They just have not shown me enough yet this year where I trust them to go on the road against a solid opponent and cover this number. I can definitely see South Carolina making this thing competitive.
Give me the Gamecocks getting 7.5 points here.
