Point Spread: 9.50 | -108.00 Gamecocks (SC) (Home)
Result: Loss
Ole Miss is coming into this game with a 4-1 record this season and they are 0-1 in the SEC. They are coming off of their 1st loss of the season and it was a shocking home loss to Kentucky 20-17. Ole Miss has a very potent offense, but they were not able to do much against a better Kentucky defense and they are going to have a similar problem here in their 1st SEC road game of the season. They are going up against a South Carolina team that is 3-1 this season and they are 1-1 in the SEC. They beat Kentucky on the road 31-6 and lost to LSU at home, but they kept that LSU game close as they lost 36-33 and had many chances to win it as well. South Carolina has been more of a run heavy team this season and that has been the strength of this Ole Miss defense, averaging 46.2 rushing yards allowed per game, but South Carolina also has a dual threat quarterback that will add a tougher element for this Ole Miss defense to defend. Ole Miss has also had a weaker schedule to start the season and their pass defense has not been great, averaging 212.2 passing yards per game and allowing Kentucky to move the ball efficiently through the air last week. Ole Miss has been a powerhouse on offense, averaging over 200 rushing yards and over 300 passing yards per game, but their offense did not play well against a better Kentucky defense and they are going to see another one here, this time on the road. South Carolina has a very good defense that is only averaging 104 rushing yards allowed per game and 160.8 passing yards allowed per game. South Carolina's defense alone will keep them in this game at home with a chance to win straight up, but their offense will also have no problem moving the ball against this Ole Miss defense that was exposed last week. South Carolina will cover the spread in this game.
