Alabama Crimson Tide vs. South Carolina Gamecocks Prediction
I’m on South Carolina and the points here. This is just a tricky spot for Alabama after so many high-profile games in a row and we’ve seen Kalen DeBoer struggle as heavy road chalk over the years. South Carolina will likely treat this as their super bowl as one of the last big home games of the season and I think they could give Alabama a game here. Give me South Carolina and the points.
