Auburn can run the hell out of the football. But there defense is in big trouble here. FSU can run it and throw it. This will be the best offense Auburn has seen all year. I can't see Auburn getting much in the passing game on FSU's defense.(not that they'll try much).  And I don't see Auburn scoring every time they run the football either. Maybe against a swiss cheese defense like Texas A&M's. FSU's defense is too good for that.

IMO Auburn will need to score at least in the mid forties to win this game. I just don't see it happening. FSU will put up at a minimum of 40 in this game. They could put up 50 or more.

Georgia had Auburn beat at Auburn. Could have had an INT and the game would have been over. Alabama missed four field goals against them. This game will be played at a neutral site. Defense wins championships. FSU 48 Auburn 34. 


lol no

no no no

No way the line is anywhere near 14 at kickoff. The whole world would be on Auburn. In fact the line has dropped from its open at 9.5 and is sitting at 9 now. Think it stays put right at 9. FSU will win by 21+. FSU's defense will destroy Auburn's chances at sustaining drives. Please don't lose your money thinking Auburn will hang. I have bet on Auburn the last 3 weeks straight and cashed and even had Auburn ML vs bama. I can see exactly how this game plays out.

FSU 56 Auburn 27

I hope AUBURN throttles them.... OR at least WIN because I threw down $10 on them to win the BCS so when that happens, I will be getting a nice $3400

And you do realize that the team that scored 34 points on FSU was a rushing team with a RB that was a Heisman Trophy candidate.

Auburn's rushing attack is a lot better than BCU's

And you do realize that our stud defensive end, Mario Edwards Jr did not play that game. Also, our Def Coord still had Christian Jones lining up at the LB instead of the hybrid DE position that he is now.

Help me, it seems too easy.

Maybe Auburn wins, maybe they don't.  But picking them bc they're from the SEC seems like a dumb reason.

Everyone knows the SEC has won the last 7 BCS championships.  Everyone talks about the SEC as an NFL-division rather than a BCS conference.  Everyone thinks that SEC teams are inherently superior to other conferences.

And yet FSU is a *TEN* point favorite.  Huh?  Even after Auburn's impressive wins vs #3 Missouri and #1 Alabama?  While FSU only beat Duke and Syracuse in its last 2 games?  All this while the ACC is soft as a marshmellow, with a lousy record vs the SEC this year? 

I think bookies are begging for Auburn money, personally.  Line seems way too high.

Guys,

I actually like Auburn in this game because of their defense!  Sounds stupid right?  Wrong!  I love how Auburn takes huge risk on defense and makes you execute. If you do execute they say oh well....we will get the ball back and score.  If you don't execute and they get the ball back and score.  Then all the remaining positions become even more important for FSU.  They will take more chances on defense and you better score.  I think Auburn gets more stops in this game taking chances and puts to much pressure on FSU to score every position.  Auburn wins this game.

So this #2 ranked defense relies on one person?  LOL

I totally agree with this. Good point.

FSU's "amazing" 2nd ranked defense this year played.......

14th offense Clemson

next best offense was.......

43rd ranked Miami

FSU played 1 team in the top 42 in offense in college football

Sometimes you have to look past the numbers
