The Florida Gators and South Carolina Gamecocks clash Saturday in week 11 SEC college football action at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. The South Carolina Gamecocks look to build on their 6-3 record. The Florida Gators look for a win after splitting their last 8 games.

Justin Shorter and Ricky Pearsall have combined for 877 receiving yards and 4 touchdowns, while Xzavier Henderson has 36 receptions.

The Gamecocks are 3-7-1 ATS in their last 11 road games and 6-14 ATS in their last 20 conference games. The Gators are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 home games and 5-11 ATS in their last 16 games overall. The over is 6-1 in Gamecocks last 7 road games. The over is 5-2 in Gators last 7 games overall. The Gamecocks are 3-0-1 ATS in their last 4 meetings in Florida and 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 meetings.

I’m not sure what the Florida Gators have done this season to deserve to lay more than a touchdown in a conference game, and I’m not buying it. Florida still has issues throwing the ball, turns the ball over at times, and the defense is pathetic for the most part. Say what you want about the South Carolina Gamecocks, but they have a playmaker at quarterback, and they’re 50th in scoring offense. Florida should win at home, but the Gators are sloppy and have most games come down to the wire. Give me the points.
