Texas A&M vs. South Carolina Betting Prediction
Texas A&M is coming off of a big emotional win last weekend. The Aggies defeated #8 LSU 38-23 at home last Saturday to go to 7-1 straight up on the season. Texas A&M likely expended a lot of energy to earn that win, and an emotional letdown against a lesser team (on paper) like South Carolina seems very possible.
The Gamecocks will have the rest advantage in this contest. South Carolina had last week off. They played one of their best games of the year two weeks ago at Oklahoma. The Gamecocks smoked the Sooners 35-9 to earn their second double-digit road win over a conference opponent in 2024. Shane Beamer became South Carolina’s head coach in 2021. Since 2021, the Gamecocks are 4-3 ATS when playing with the rest advantage over their opponent. In a contrarian play, I like South Carolina to cover against Texas A&M at home in Columbia on Saturday night.
