Oddsmakers from online sports book Sports Interaction have made Clemson 3-point road favorites over
South Carolina on Saturday afternoon. The over/under total for this game has been established at 44.
Clemson is scoring 33.1 points per-game, but that is partially due to its special teams play, which has 5 touchdowns this year. C.J. Spiller has been Clemson’s big threat, as he has three kick returns for touchdowns while also rushing for 894 yards and seven touchdowns. The Gamecocks have a physical defense that is giving up just 20.7 points and 308.7 yards per-game.
South Carolina has struggled on offense, scoring just 20.6 points per-game. The Gamecocks are led by quarterback Stephen Garcia, who has thrown for 2,607 yards with 14 touchdowns and eight interceptions. The Tigers are giving up 18.2 points per-game and holding teams to under 300 yards per-game thanks to 20 interceptions as a team.
This game looks like it could be a defensive struggle and low scoring. The Gamecocks will look to bottle up Spiller while Clemson will look to make
South Carolina run the ball, which it can’t do effectively. With the point spread just 3-points we suggest a pick of Clemson due to their explosive abilities on defense and special teams. Creating 20 interceptions has given Clemson good field position, and Spiller is always a home run threat, while
South Carolina is unable to score so quickly. Pick the Tigers with the under in this one.
