The Gamecocks host the Rebels in a key SEC encounter in Columbia Thursday evening knowing the Ole Miss is just 3-15 SU in their last 18 conference road games. They are also 2-8 ATS in their last 10 tries as road favorites, including 0-5 against a foe with a win percentage of .200 or greater. That goes hand-in-hand with head coach Houston Nutt's 6-12 ATS career mark as a conference road favorite, including 0-4 SU and ATS when facing a .666 or greater opponent. With Gamecock head coach Steve Spurrier 14-5 ATS agasint undefeated conference foes that are off back-to-back wins, including 6-0 ATS when taking more than 2-points, we'll grab the points in this upset maker tonight. We recommend a 3-unit play on South Carolina.

40 Dime – MISSISSIPPI (Buy the ½ point if your line is -3½. If the line moves up to -4, do nothing. Never get beat by the hook.)
Take Ole Miss minus the points on the road tonight over South Carolina.

This game has Rebels written all over it. You don’t have to worry about a letdown factor like last year when South Carolina upset Mississippi, 31-24. That game came one week after the Rebels shocked Florida in The Swamp and they were ripe for a letdown there.
Instead Mississippi has the motivation of winning its first SEC opener since 2003 and the revenge factor for losing to the Gamecocks last year.

Besides, South Carolina has a pedestrian offense that won’t get things going against a strong Rebels defense.
Don’t be fooled by the Gamecocks’ output last Saturday. It came against a below average Florida Atlantic defense and besides, South Carolina only led 17-16 at the half.

Even if South Carolina is moderately successful offensively tonight, they still don’t have the firepower to hang with Jevan Snead and the Rebels.
Snead should have a field day against a Gamecock’s secondary that starts a true freshman and sophomore.

Ole Miss is on an 8-1 ATS run in its last nine road games and should roll here.

THURSDAY AFTERNOON MLB TOTALS S*M*A*S*H
At 3:35 pm our selection is on the Texas Rangers and Oakland Athletics 'under' the total. If the Rangers can get righthander Scott Feldman three more starts this season, and if those three starts can all be on the road, then Feldman has a great chance to become the fourth 20-game winner in Rangers history. His 17 wins are the second most by a Rangers pitcher this decade behind 18 won by Kenny Rogers in 2004 but consider this amazing statistic: Feldman is 12-1 with a 2.58 ERA in 15 games, including 14 starts, on the road this season. To be victorious in that high a percentage of road starts is almost unheard of. Oakland's 21-year-old rookie lefthander Brett Anderson also has a chance to make his mark this season. If Anderson can get just three more strikeouts -- he should be able to do that this afternoon against the free-swinging Rangers -- then he will set the Oakland rookie season record for strikeouts at 142. He seems to be in a strikeout mood lately also, having just fanned a career-high 10 over six shutout innings in his last start against the Indians. He was taken out after 89 pitches because he's passed his career high in innings pitched. It was Anderson's third win in three starts this month, and his command has been tremendous of late: He's averaging one walk over his past six assignments. Finally, the Rangers have gone 'under' the total in 19 of Feldman's 27 starts, and Texas is also 36-15 'under' vs. lefties this year. Take the 'under'.

Mississippi at South Carolina
Pick: Mississippi -3.5

Mississippi lost at home to South Carolina last year. The Rebels were off a win over Florida the week before and didn't have enough gas in the tank. Mississippi is 9-0 ATS after rushing for over 200 yards in their last game and they are 9-2 ATS their last 11 games vs. winning teams. They are also 8-1 ATS their last 9 road games. South Carolina will have their hands full with Mississippi QB Jevan Snead who will be a first round draft pick in the NFL. The Gamecocks are 5-11-1 ATS their last 17 games as home underdogs and they are 0-4 ATS their last 4 games vs. winning teams. 10* PLAY ON MISSISSIPPI -
