LSU Tigers
The favorite is 5-0-1 against the spread in the last six meetings between these two teams, but LSU has dropped five of its last six games at the betting window.
South Carolina Gamecocks
The Gamecocks are 4-1 against the spread in their last five home games but have dropped four of five at the window when they’re a home underdog.
Prediction
I like South Carolina in this matchup, but not as much as I like the over, which is 5-0 in the Tigers’ last five games overall and is 22-6 in their last 28 road games when they face a team with a winning home record. The over is also 35-16 in their last 51 road games, is 4-1 in their last five games when they’re favored on the road and is 4-0 in their last four games when they face a team like South Carolina that has a winning record. On the other side, the over is 5-1-1 in the Gamecocks’ last seven games as an underdog and is 19-8 in their last 27 games coming off a loss.
