LSU opens as a six-point favorite over South Carolina, per BetMGM

The LSU Tigers (1-2) are considered heavy favorites over the South Carolina Gamecocks as they come off an unexpected open date.

The LSU Tigers (1-2) come off an unexpected open date after their game against the Florida Gators was postponed due to COVID-19 last week.

Next up for the defending national champions are the South Carolina Gamecocks (2-2).

The Gamecocks started the season 0-2 with losses to Tennessee and Florida before picking up wins over Vanderbilt and Auburn the last two weeks.

The Tigers are looking to back into the win column this week after an embarrassing 45-41 loss to Missouri earlier this month. LSU’s defense has given up 1,218 yards and 89 points in its two losses this season.
