Auburn at South Carolina: Odds, betting lines and picks
Prediction
Auburn 28, South Carolina 21
Money line (ML)
AUBURN (-167) is a slight road favorite in this game as it has had a ton of success against South Carolina in the limited history between the two schools. In 12 all-time meetings, South Carolina has won just once.
Auburn is the ranked team again in this meeting and it has a significant talent advantage. South Carolina has been turnover-prone this season, averaging 2.38 giveaways a game. Look for the TIGERS (-167) to win this game by a touchdown or so at Williams-Brice Stadium.
Against the spread (ATS)
AUBURN -3 (-115) is a field-goal favorite. The Tigers are 5-2 against the spread in their last seven meetings against the Gamecocks. Both teams have had rough starts to the season with Auburn losing to Georgia and South Carolina falling to Florida and Tennessee.
Auburn has looked better against similar teams, such as Kentucky and Arkansas. Expect this SEC matchup to be close and likely come down to the last few possessions, but for Auburn to ultimately win by 4 or more points.
Over/Under (O/U)
The total for this SEC matchup is set at 51.5 and that feels high considering how much both offenses have struggled to begin the season. Auburn is averaging just 21.7 points per game and South Carolina hasn’t been much better.
Both teams want to play ball-control offense, limiting the possessions for their opponent. Take the UNDER 51.5 (-106) here as both teams will struggle to reach 30 points.
