Gamecocks’ Betting Outlook
South Carolina didn’t just throw a wrench into Tennessee’s college football playoff hopes, they detonated them.
A 22-point underdog, South Carolina pulled off one of the shocking upsets, racking up 606 total yards and nine TD’s. This coming from the SEC’s 11th-ranked offense, and a unit that failed to gain 300 yards of total offense in three of their last four games.
Spencer Rattler, the transfer from Oklahoma, went bonkers against the Vols, going 30-for-37 for 438 yards and six TD tosses — both were career highs. Josh Vann made the most of his two grabs, turning both into touchdowns.

South Carolina vs Clemson Prediction
Clemson has to be on alert after what the Gamecocks did last week, but they should have the defense that can hold up, if SC can even summon up that kind of performance in back-to-back games.
The Tigers have dominated this matchup, winning the last seven head-to-heads, tallying at least 30 points in each, and they’ve won the last five by 21 points or more.
If there’s one cause for pause, Clemson is just 2-9 against the spread in their last 11 non-conference games. That being said, the favorite has been dominant in this series, running up a 4-1 ATS mark in the last five.
Look for the best to go on, as the Tigers continue their march to a CFP berth.
The Pick:
- Clemson -14.5 (-105); 1 unit to win 0.95 units
- Week 12 NCAAF Record: 1-1: Overall: 7-7 ATS, 1-0 ML, 1-3 o/u; -2.22 units
