The Florida Gators will look to salvage their season when they square-off against the South Carolina Gamecocks this Saturday afternoon in a SEC East Division clash. <\/p>\n
Date\/Time: Saturday, Nov. 12\u00a0\u00a0 12 p.m. (ET) The kick-off is slated for 12 p.m. and the game will be broadcast nationally on CBS.<\/p>\n Florida snapped a four-game losing streak this past Saturday with a 26-21 victory over Vanderbilt as a 13.5-point home favorite. The win raised its overall record to 5-4 straight-up, but dropped it to 3-5-1 against the spread. The Gators are 3-4 SU in the conference and the total has gone \u2018over\u2019 in five of their nine games overall.<\/p>\n The Gators\u2019 defense has been fairly solid this season; giving-up an average of just 19.7 points a game. The problem has been an ineffective offense that has had trouble moving the ball both through the air and on the ground. Florida is ranked 72nd<\/sup> in the country in scoring, with an average of 26 points a game.<\/p>\n South Carolina designs on winning the SEC East Division title took a hit with a 44-28 loss to Arkansas this past Saturday night as a five-point road underdog. It is now 7-2 SU overall (4-5 ATS) and a half-game behind Georgia in the division standings at 5-2 SU. An early season win over the Bulldogs looms big if the two teams should end up in a tie. The total went well \u2018over\u2019 the 51.5-point total in the loss to the Razorbacks, but it has stayed \u2018under\u2019 in five of its previous eight games. [soliloquy id=”82219″]<\/p>\n Steve Spurrier\u2019s bunch will rely on a stingy defense that is holding opponents to an average of 20.1 points a game to get by the Gators. Its once potent running game took a major hit with the loss of Marcus Lattimore for the season due to injury. The Gamecocks\u2019 passing offense has been placed in the hands of Conner Shaw, who has thrown for just 710 yards and six touchdowns on the year.<\/p>\n The Gators are 0-5 ATS in their last five conference games and the total has gone \u2018over\u2019 in five of their last seven games against the SEC. Florida is 4-2 SU in the last six meetings, but South Carolina is 4-2 ATS including s 36-14 win last season as a 6.5 road underdog. Take the Gamecocks to make it two in-a-row with an easier than expected win at home.<\/p>\n
