SEC Championship Game Free Pick:
We’re done picking against Auburn. It seems like we’re constantly going against them, waiting for them to fall and yet, here they are as the top ranked team in the nation. Led by Stephen Garcia, the Gamecocks have enough weapons to hang with Auburn for three quarters. But it’s what the Tigers have been able to do in that fourth quarter that has been most impressive. Alabama had them on the ropes 24-0 last week and yet Cam Newton and Co. chipped away and eventually won. Georgia hung with Auburn for two and a half quarters before the Tigers put them away, too. The same thing happened with Arkansas and South Carolina earlier this year, when the Gamecocks held a 20-7 second quarter lead. It’s Auburn’s year and with Newton’s NCAA investigation woes behind him, the Tigers should roll. Our pick is Auburn –5.5.
