Before we get to our free pick, let’s take a look at the latest point spread for this game.
Oddsmakers from online sports book Sportsbook.com have made South Carolina 4.5-point favorite over Kentucky in Week 7. The over/under total for this game is currently sitting at 55 points.
The Gamecocks enter this game 4-1 on the season, which includes a winning ATS record of 3-2. They are winless in their only road game of the year, however, and failed to cover at Auburn three weeks ago.
The Wildcats are playing .500 ball at 3-3, but they’re 4-2 against the number and an impressive 3-0 ATS at home this year. They’re averaging 48 points per game at home, compared to just 36 PPG overall.
The Pick:
It’s tempting to pick Kentucky because of the natural letdown that is sure to occur for South Carolina, but the Wildcats will probably be without leading rusher Derrick Locke, who suffered a shoulder stinger against Auburn last week. He has four 100-yard rushing games and seven touchdowns so far this year so with him out, the Wildcats’ offense could be punchless.
Our pick is South Carolina, who is 6-1 against the number in their last seven games at Kentucky and 4-1 in their last five meetings overall. The favorite in this series is also 4-1 against the number in their last five meetings.
