Missouri vs. South Carolina Prediction:

Take South Carolina to cover the 14 point spread on Saturday. The Gamecocks are on a roll right now winning 3 straight games and are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games. Missouri has struggled on the road this season with a 1-2 record. Against ranked opponents on the road they have lost by a combined 75-10. The Gamecocks defense is ranked 9th in the country allowing just 3 yards per carry. They should be able to limit Nate Noel and the Tigers run game and force Drew Pyne, who threw 3 interceptions against Alabama, to beat them. The loss of Connor Tollison will prove to be a big one against this South Carolina defensive front and a squad that is averaging 2.1 takeaways per game which is 10th in the country. You can currently get this at -13.5 at FanDuel at -115 odds.
