Randy’s Free Pick
The Missouri Tigers are obviously the better team and could open things up at home, but this is a lot of points. As bad as South Carolina is, the Gamecocks are 5-2 ATS on the road, and they’re 5-3 ATS as a double-digit underdog. The Missouri Tigers lose by an average of 2.3 points in SEC play. I’ll take a stab with the road dog.
