Odds: Gamecocks on the road 11.5 dogs vs Kentucky
Vegas sees South Carolina as double-digit dogs in their regular season finale
Following last week’s crushing loss to the Georgia Bulldogs, the Gamecocks are traveling to Lexington for... ANOTHER night game this Saturday against the Kentucky Wildcats.
The Gamecocks lost five straight games against the number on route to where they currently stand at 4-5. The Gamecocks are 2-7 straight up.
Kentucky comes into this matchup just about as demoralized as South Carolina with their last two games being losses by a combined 84 points. They also haven’t put up more than 10 points in four out of their last five games.
Having passed for a combined 182 yards in those last two contests as well, we may have a battle of the backs on our hands this weekend.
As for the visiting team, South Carolina continues to play without many key players, but their change in quarterback has resulted in at least moderate success in recent weeks.
Despite this being a matchup between two SEC East bottom-feeders, the Cocks still manage to be 11.5-point underdogs in this contest, according to VegasInsider.com. The line has shifted 1.5 points in favor of South Carolina since opening.
ESPN’s FPI gives the Gamecocks a 32% chance of claiming the victory.
The over/under is set at 48 points.
Why was the line set at this number?
Maybe because South Carolina hasn’t won at night all year?
They’re on the road?
They’ve given bettors no reason to take them?
