1. South Carolina at East Carolina
LINE South Carolina -2
ATS PICK South Carolina
Every once in a while there’s a line that appears way too easy to be real.
Many were screaming at me that the LSU -4 against UCLA was a gift. It was a package of socks.
It’s not like this is new territory for East Carolina as a program.
It pulled off a 41-19 shocker at home over North Carolina in 2018, stunned NC State 33-30 in 2016, and caught Virginia Tech in 2014 – UNC, too, – and 2015. It’s just that spread that’s so enticing.
However, this is the crazy-looking line for this week, and it’s not just because East Carolina couldn’t stop Appalachian State’s running game in a 33-19 loss.
South Carolina might be building back better under new head coach Shane Beamer, and it all worked in a 46-0 win over Eastern Illinois, but East Carolina has the firepower to be dangerous.
Here’s the problem. Nate Noel and Cameron Peoples each hit the 100-yard-mark for the Mountaineers. The Gamecock lines are better than App State’s.
Star South Carolina RB Kevin Harris is set to see time after getting past back surgery, but the Gamecocks should run for over 250 no matter what, control the clock, and overcome the dangerous ECU offense at home.
It’s only two points.
