South Carolina Gamecocks vs Alabama Crimson Tide Betting Tips & Match Predictions

South Carolina may be the underdogs here, but they’ve shown time and again that they can hang with powerhouse teams like Alabama. Their grit and ability to step up in pressure situations makes me confident they’ll keep this game close. Alabama might pull ahead, but the Gamecocks will fight hard to cover that +10.5 spread. I’m betting they won’t let the margin get too wide.

USC is 10-4 while Alabama is 12-2 straight up right now. The Gamecocks won 8 of their last 10, coming off a heavy loss on the road. Meanwhile the Crimson Tide won six in a row, including a win as a small underdog during that span. The Gamecocks can't be trusted after that last performance and not only therefore I am rolling with AH Alabama (-8.5) to win.
