I go to Auburn..our defense is atrocious, with possibly the worst coordinator in the league. With that being said I still like Auburn to keep it close. It will be a no play for me, but I've had a feeling Auburn could do big things here. They did beat them twice last year including a 30 point stomping.

Auburn gave up 300+ yards to the worst offense in fbs football (Fl atl)
I am staying away from this one.

I'm a USC fan and never play them but also follow Auburn closely. I think 11.5 is spot on. Did anyone watch Auburn-FAU? Coming off the Clemson loss, Auburn got to go home and play a night game against little FAU, who had 1 first down the week before against Michigan State. Rather than fix their struggles, they continued winning 30-16. If Garcia doesn't punt the ball with his arm on 3rd downs and fumble 3-4 times, Auburn is going to need to put up atleast 30 to win. Lattimore's touches were limited last weekend versus Vandy, so he should be fresh. Look for him to get atleast 30 touches and he should be able to run thru, over, and around Auburn's defense. USC also will want some revenge after losing to Auburn twice last year. Garcia as always, is the X factor. I believe all he needs to do is not turn the ball over 3-4 times and USC should be okay.

South Carolina have not been impressive but they also haven't messed up enough to lose yet. They constantly find themselves battling teams down to the wire that they should destroy. I could see Auburn keeping it close the whole game but I think South Carolina comes out with another close win.

Just curious who they should have destroyed? After a slow start against ECU in the opener they pulled away, you're never going to destroy UGA at home, Navy was a tough spot ( 1 week to prepare for the option attack after Rivalry game ), and they beat Vandy by 18, holding their offense to 3 points. They definitely have not played up to potential and Garcia is always the biggest threat to the team but I wouldn't say they should have destroyed anyone.

Garcia not turning the ball over is a HUGE if. I've never seen any QB in college throw it up for grabs like Garcia does.

Spread is too high, take Auburn.
