Florida at South Carolina picks and predictions

Prediction

Florida 73, South Carolina 71

Moneyline

Florida is the lean, however a better relative value can be found taking the Gators and the points. STEER CLEAR.

Against the spread

Florida has logged ATS wins in each of its last 3 visits to Columbia. Overall, UF is 3-1 ATS in the last 4 series meetings.

South Carolina is on a nice trend line, but the Gators are the more consistent squad. The faster-tempo UF five has an efficient offense, and it gets to the line more often.

USC launches a ton of 3’s, but a 32.1% accuracy mark over its last 5 games does not inspire confidence especially when going against a Gator team that defends well along the perimeter.

BACK GATORS +1.5 (-104).

Over/Under

The last 19 USC games against teams with winning records have yielded a 12-5 record for the Under.

This is a classic tortoise (South Carolina) and hare (Florida) matchup, but both sides have been trending toward lower pace figures of late. The way both sides hit the offensive glass and the way UF gets to the stripe is cause for concern. but the UNDER 145.5 (-110) is a slight lean here.

Lock it in with Alex: Cash in on this SEC home team

There is a small home college football favorite in a Week 7 SEC showdown that Alex White really likes.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

“College football fans, this one’s for you.”

SportsbookWire.com’s Alex White likes an SEC home team Saturday afternoon.

She points out the team’s 2-3 record is misleading, that it’s well-rested after enjoying a bye week and it will have revenge on its mind.

Plus, there’s a strong series trend that backs her play along with the home side having the better quarterback in this matchup — which kicks off at 3:30 p.m. ET (SEC Network).

BetMGM Sportsbook has the spread in this conference showdown at -1.5 as of Saturday at 5:07 a.m. ET.

Florida at South Carolina odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s Florida at South Carolina odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

Florida at South Carolina odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Florida 31, South Carolina 24

Money line

South Carolina was abysmal at Texas A&M, turning the ball over 3 times and not scoring until the fourth quarter while producing fewer than 200 total yards. The Gamecocks are a combined minus-6 in turnover margin over their last three games.

However, first-year head coach Shane Beamer does have the Gamecocks playing solid defense. South Carolina has done well in limiting explosive plays, even in the run game.

Against a Florida team that is perhaps too far over its skis in drive finishes and stops — compared with how it moves the ball elsewhere on the field — the GAMECOCKS (+600) are a solid value wager in the event they can pull off the upset.

Against the spread

The Gators are 0-6 ATS in their last six games as road favorites and are 1-3-1 ATS in their last five meetings against the Gamecocks.

Money has steadily come in on the home side during the week, and this line has moved 1.5-to-2 points at most houses. However, there is still some value to be had on SOUTH CAROLINA +17.5 (-105).

Over/Under

The game flow here plays out to a low-to-mid-50s contest. The public has this total surrounded: PASS.
