The Spartans are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a ATS loss and 15-7-1 ATS in their last 23 games overall. The Gamecocks are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 home games and 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games overall. The over is 19-7 in Spartans last 26 overall. The over is 12-5 in Gamecocks last 17 overall.

The South Carolina Gamecocks are going to be favored for obvious reasons, but they haven’t shot the ball well through 5 games, and it makes laying this big line a bit risky. The USC Upstate Spartans have enough scoring options to hang around here, and we know they’ll be the more motivated side. USC Upstate doesn’t get these chances often. Give me the points.
