Prediction
The Texas A&M Aggies are only a small favorite in this game and look to be the best betting option. They were struggling against LSU this past weekend, but a change at quarterback gave them the spark they needed to prevail comfortably in the end. With Marcel Reed likely the starting quarterback going forward, the Aggies can use his dual-threat ability to avoid a letdown against an average South Carolina Gamecocks team. The Gamecocks are coming off their off week so they have had plenty of time to prepare for this game, however, they have been too inconsistent this season, especially at the quarterback position. For that reason, backing A&M to win will be our best bet.
Final Pick
Texas A&M Aggies ML (-130)
