Clay Travis of Outkick the Coverage says the winning bet this week is to put your money on South Carolina.
“I love the -5 line I got, but I also love any line here beneath single digits,” Travis explains. “Because I believe the Gamecocks are going to win by 10 or more.”
Here’s an excerpt:
Kentucky at South Carolina -5 and the under 50.5 (Now South Carolina -6.5 and 50.5)
South Carolina burned us on Saturday at Mizzou, dominating the Tigers and crushing our hopes of the over and the Mizzou cover. That’s on me, I chose poorly in backing the wrong side out of week one’s results.
But I’m not making this mistake in week two.
Here’s the deal, Kentucky has not been good in either week one or week two and I don’t think the Wildcats are going to suddenly play great on the road at South Carolina. Remember, this is the home opener for the young Gamecocks, they’ve won twice in neutral and road settings over teams that were favored to beat them. Now they get to come home to Williams-Brice.
Kentucky has much less offensive firepower than either North Carolina State or Missouri and Will Muschamp is going to stifle them.
I love the -5 line I got, but I also love any line here beneath single digits. Because I believe the Gamecocks are going to win by 10 or more.
21-10 is my prediction on this game, which also means it’s a good move to sprinkle some additional money on the under if you want to double down on this one and start off your day 2-0.
