College Football Betting Trends
Florida
Florida is 5-0-1 with the over in its last six road games and 6-1-1 with the over in its last eight games following a cover.
South Carolina
The Gamecocks are 6-2 with the under in their last eight games overall and 21-9 with the under in their last 30 SEC games.
Prediction:
These two have hit the over in their last two meetings, both of which were pretty low. The total is low this week as well. Both teams could be feeling last week’s game, as both were really physical and on the road. South Carolina’s offense isn’t too challenging for the Florida defense, but I think the Gators are going to have trouble moving the ball as well. The last two weeks have taken a lot out of their offensive front. I think that will allow South Carolina to be competitive on defense and keep the total low.
