Florida @ South Carolina (-2) (O/U 51.5)

Evan: The line on this one is basically home-field advantage but I think the Gamecocks are head and shoulders better than the squad Billy Napier is fielding. Don’t look now but the Gators are in danger of losing out. South Carolina -2

Justin: I think South Carolina wins this one rather easily. South Carolina -2

Andrew: I don’t feel good about this one either way, but so far, it seems the teams that have given Florida the most trouble are the ones that can play power football. That’s not the Gamecocks, and their own defense might allow the Gators to do just enough. Florida +2

Ryan: Do not have a real strong feeling one way or another on this one. Both teams are average at best and have pretty glaring faults. I’m going with the better QB here and that’s Spencer Rattler. South Carolina -2

John: The fact that South Carolina gets this game at home makes the difference for me. I think these teams match up fairly evenly, but I think the Gamecocks will take care of business. South Carolina -2

Ethan: I don’t want to pick this game because I really don’t know what to expect here. I haven’t been impressed by either of these programs and the only reason I’m going with Florida is because the Gators beat Tennessee. Florida +2
