Florida A&M Rattlers vs South Carolina Gamecocks prediction
I have to question the motivation for the South Carolina Gamecocks in this spot, but the Florida A&M Rattlers are just a bad team, so it probably doesn’t matter much. South Carolina is piling up the wins, is elite defensively, and is 9-3 ATS on the season. Florida A&M have major scoring issues and that’s not going to change against this South Carolina defense. I’ll lay the points with the Gamecocks.
