SEC Nation Makes Their Picks For South Carolina @ No. 20 Missouri

The crew over at SEC Nation gave their final thoughts and predictions on South Carolina's Football matchup with the Missouri Tigers. Who did they pick?

SEC Nation is on site for the Third Saturday In October matchup between the Tennessee Volunteers and Alabama Crimson Tide, but that didn't stop the panel from giving their thoughts on how the game between the South Carolina Gamecocks and Missouri Tigers would play out. Here's what each analyst had to say:

Roman Harper: I'm gonna take Missouri straight up. At times in the past, we anticipated them maybe struggling with this game, but they have proven that they are a better team in a better situation right now.

Jordan Rodgers: I tell you what's not gonna happen: Luther Burden's not gonna come out there and have only 21 yards. He's gonna go for 100 [yards] I think. I think South Carolina puts up a fight. I think they put up numbers, but I think Missouri wins it.

Tim Tebow: I love the upside of South Carolina at times. They can make big plays. We know Spencer [Rattler] can make plays, but I love the consistency of Missouri that much more.

Paul Finebaum also picked Missouri, making it a clean sweep, so we'll see if it winds up being the kiss of death for Missouri or if South Carolina is truly outmatched later this afternoon.
