COLLEGE FOOTBALL FREE PICK: The road team is 8-2 ATS Last 10 in series. The Gamecocks beat Vandy at home last year, 20-3, giving -15.5. Expectations are high for the Gamecocks this season after finishing 11-2 SU last year. It all starts with running back Marcus Lattimore, who is coming off a mid-season knee injury (missed final six games) and is now 100% healthy. The defense is strong as ever led by DE Jadeveon Clowney, who should have a monster season. It should also help not having the distraction of troubled QB Stephen Garcia, who was dismissed last year. Connor Shaw gives them an athletic quarterback who is now a junior. He also manages the game as well and minimizes his mistakes. SC has Vandy’s numbers and will take them down in the first game as a road fave.
