CBS Sports analysts gathered on Wednesday to deliver their picks for the Week 10 slate of college football games. The SEC matchup between No. 10 Texas A&M and South Carolina was among the games picked.
Rick Neuheisel and Brian Jones think the home team will pull off the upset. The Gamecocks are 2.5-point underdogs at home but are coming off an impressive conference road win at Oklahoma in Week 9.
“(South Carolina) has played well in their last 2 (games) on the road. I’m going with the home team,” said Jones of the Gamecocks.
“Give me the Gamecocks and a nimble defense, and you’ll see equal jubilation,” said Neuheisel, also picking the Gamecocks.

Randy Cross, however, sees the game going a different way. The analyst thinks the favored Aggies will win with Marcel Reed at quarterback.
“I’m going to take A&M,” said Cross. “Their defense has not allowed more than 24 points, and they’re going to score, with Marcel Reed, more than 24 points. Give me A&M.”
The Aggies enter the game on a 7-game winning streak, having not lost since the opener against Notre Dame. The team already has conference wins over Florida, Arkansas, Missouri, Mississippi State, and LSU.
The Gamecocks, meanwhile, have had an up-and-down season. The team had impressive wins over Kentucky and Oklahoma, but suffered tough losses to Alabama, LSU, and Ole Miss.
