Prediction
While both teams have subpar defenses, neither offense has impressed against strong competition. The Gamecocks’ last home game went under the total by eight points, and their offense hasn’t been great on a per-possession basis against decent schools. We’re going with an alternate under here as the total is inflated, and both schools are coming off of very high-scoring games.
Final Pick
Alternate Under 58 (+107)
