2 Keys to Bet on Missouri vs South Carolina

1. Does Missouri Have Upset Claims?

It has been a strange few weeks for the Tigers, who scored wins over UMass and Auburn before losing 34-0 to the Alabama Crimson Tide. It was a poor loss, and not scoring a point was troubling for their offense.

However, they scored a good bounce-back home victory against Oklahoma last week, and that should give them confidence. They should fancy their chances of covering the +14 spread, but they have been blown out twice away from home.

The first loss was a 41-10 smashing at the hands of the Texas A&M Aggies, so the lack of consistency on the road is a problem. It’s why they’re the double-digit underdogs against South Carolina.

One thing to consider is the series history. Per Missouri vs South Carolina betting trends, the Tigers have won the last five matchups, including a 34-12 rout a year ago.

There could be some market movement for Missouri to win outright. Theline could be overlooking the recent 3-1 record based on the Alabama game alone, so the home run bet on the Tigers isn’t the worst option for value for NCAA football predictions.

2. Gamecocks Riding Momentum

Following consecutive losses to Ole Miss and Alabama, South Carolina’s season was hanging by a thread. However, after three straight wins, it’s back in contention as a leading SEC threat.

The comeback started with a one-sided 35-9 win over Oklahoma before beating Texas A&M 44-20 and Vanderbilt 28-7. The win over the Commodores was excellent, considering they had beaten some good teams in 2024.

The latest was also a road win, and coach Shane Beamer was pleased with his team’s ability to focus following a big win.

“This ain’t an easy place to play for a lot of reasons,” Beamer said. “Everyone thought there’d be a letdown coming off last week and for our guys to come in here and know it’s going to be a tough gritty hard game just because of the way Vanderbilt plays football is really satisfying for us as a football team.”

Missouri is an easier opponent, but it’s not to be underestimated. If the Gamecocks’ players look at the NCAAF spread, they could lose focus, so it’s on the players to keep their mind on the job at home.

How to Bet on Missouri vs South Carolina

Our college football picks this week are siding with South Carolina -14, but we expect a competitive game for the most part.

The Gamecocks could pull away in the second half and force Missouri into making turnovers, which could blow out the scoreline in the fourth quarter. They are the better team and momentum is on their side.

Bet on South Carolina -14 vs Missouri

We don’t think Missouri will score a big total, and that’s reflected with the total line. It’s currently at 43½ points, and we picture the final scoreline being 27-10 to the Gamecocks, so include the under in your NCAAF parlay picks.
