South Carolina vs. Missouri betting prediction
The Missouri Tigers have been playing great football this season, already matching their most wins in a season since 2018. Meanwhile, aside from a strong passing game, the South Carolina Gamecocks have struggled in all facets.
The Gamecocks are just 1-4 against FBS opponents, as they have been among the worst teams in the SEC this season. Meanwhile, the Tigers' only loss was due to a late-game comeback by the LSU Tigers. While Missouri has a challenging slate coming up, they should be able to take care of business against South Carolina. Look for the Tigers to win by at least seven points.
Pick: Missouri Tigers -6.5 (-110)
