Mississippi State vs. South Carolina Prediction

The current betting odds have South Carolina listed as a 4.5-point favorite in this game according to DraftKings Sportsbook. South Carolina just lost their last game on the road against Georgia but they only lost that game 24-14 and put up a really good fight against one of the best teams in the country. Now they are at home for this 2nd conference game and they will be looking to bounce back as they have played well against these tougher teams. Mississippi State hasn't been great in their games this season and they also opened their conference play with a loss but they also got destroyed at home by LSU. South Carolina is the home team here and they have already played much tougher teams than Mississippi State this year. MS State will be looking to bounce back too but they weren't able to do anything against LSU at home, now they have to go on the road against South Carolina who just went on the road and went toe-to-toe with the 1st ranked team in the country. South Carolina has a much better team and they will come back home to blow MS State out of the water and get their 1st conference win this season. The best way to place a bet here is on South Carolina to cover the spread in this game.

Mississippi State South Carolina Prediction: South Carolina 28 Mississippi State 13.
 
Don’t see how we’re favored but I’ll take it. Like I posted last week - I want us to look prepared, practiced and ready. Limit mistakes. If so, Gamecocks 27-23. If they just eat clock and run all over us, will be a different story.
