Chris’ Pick
I’m backing South Carolina here. I know Clemson’s coming in off of three straight wins, and they’ve looked really good in those games and have done a good job of righting the ship. However, all of those games were at home, and the last few times we saw Clemson on the road, it wasn’t great. South Carolina’s comfortable in their own digs, playing their 4th straight home game to close out the year and we saw the Gamecocks do this same sort of thing last year. This time of year just wakes up South Carolina for whatever reason. Give me the Gamecocks here with the points.
