In this Northwestern vs South Carolina Prediction, Northwestern is coming as -6.5 road favorites. Both teams have been excellent this season with identical overall records and just one loss in their five games played. They also score exactly 83 points per game, averaging 166 points per game combined and I see no value on either side. They both are 7-1 to the over in their last 8 games combined and given how those offenses look so far, I expect another high-scoring affair today. Take the over 139.5 points in this one.
