South Carolina vs. Florida Prediction:
Take the Gators to cover the 14.5 point spread at home on Saturday night. Despite the record and the losing streak, the Gamecocks have played very well this season against ranked opponents, losing by 4 to Ole Miss and Texas A&M, 5 to Mississippi State, 1 to this very same Gators team, and 3 to Auburn. The issue is that all of those were on their home court, and this matchup on Saturday is in Gainesville. South Carolina is 2-5 ATS on the road this season, including 0-3 in their last 3 road games. They average 10 points per game less on the road (63.6) compared to at home (73.5). On the other side, the Gators are 8-4 ATS on their home court, and 3-0 ATS in their last 3. Florida ranks 9th in the country in points per game, averaging 83.6. Defensively, the Gators allow 66.5 points per game, but at home they are allowing just 60.8. Florida should be able to dominate this in this matchup on Saturday.
South Carolina vs. Florida Prediction: Florida -14.5
