Pick
I’m backing South Carolina here. It may not be a popular pick, but Florida’s done nothing to justify laying this many points with them, even at home against South Carolina. When we’ve seen the Gamecocks on the road, they’ve beaten Kentucky as 20-point underdogs and also took Vanderbilt to overtime. I’ll take a shot with South Carolina and the points here.
