OUR PREDICTION: The Gamecocks are 6-1 against the spread in their last seven games versus the Tigers and are stout enough defensively to keep this game within the point spread. South Carolina ranks 49th in the nation in total yards allowed per game at 387.6, is solid against the run (189.1/17th), and is allowing just 22 points per game. Granted, the Gamecocks may struggle to move the ball offensively tonight, but this is a rivalry game and with the Tigers in a lookahead spot with the ACC title game on deck, this is a good spot to grab the points with the dog.
