NCAAF lines have South Carolina as a 10-point home favorite with a total of 49.<\/p>\n<p>After a 4-point win over Vanderbilt in their season opener they have won 2 blowouts in a row only giving up 16 points combined in those games.<\/p>\n<h3><a title=\"CFB Picks\" href=\"\/handicappers\/\" target=\"_self\"><strong>GRAB OUR BEST Expert CFB Picks for 2012 NCAA FOOTBALL Betting! \u2014\u2013&gt;<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n<p>In their last games South Carolina beat UAB 49-6 and Missouri got a solid 24-20 win over Arizona State.<\/p>\n<p>On the season Missouri is 1-1 ATS with an Over\/Under record of 1-1 and South Carolina is 2-1 ATS with an Over\/Under record of 2-1.<\/p>\n<p>QB Connor Shaw will start in this game after being injured in the season opener even though backup Dylan Thompson has thrown for 507 yards and 5 TD&#8217;s in the last couple of games. Damiere Byrd and Bruce Ellington are a couple of speedy 5&#8217;9&#8243; WR&#8217;s that will be a handful for a Tigers&#8217; pass defense that ranks 40th in the nation.<\/p>\n<p>RB Marcus Lattimore has not had to carry a big workload in the backfield since the Gamecocks have not had close games in the last 2 outings, but in the UAB game he averaged over 7 yards per carry. Missouri&#8217;s strength on D is the run defense, as that unit ranks 21st in the nation defending the run.  [soliloquy id=&#8221;82219&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>The Tigers&#8217; defense forced 4 turnovers against Arizona State and they may need to force a few more to pull of the upset.<\/p>\n<p>Missouri QB James Franklin should play in this big game after sitting out the Arizona State game. He has a decent WR corps and it is key that the offensive line plays well and gives him time in the pocket. USC has a great pass rush and they rank 6th in the nation in sacks.<\/p>\n<p>After rushing for over 100 yards in the season opener Mizzou RB Kendial Lawrence has not cracked the 100-yard barrier since and in the ASU game he only averaged 3.9 yards per carry. He may have a hard time running the ball against a Gamecocks&#8217; run defense that ranks 6th in the nation.<\/p>\n<p>In some betting trends for this SEC match up Missouri is 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games following a ATS win and they have an Over record of 5-2 in their last 7 road games.<\/p>\n<p>South Carolina is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 home games, 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall, and they have an Under record of 4-1 in their last 5 SEC games.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jason&#8217;s Pick:<\/strong> I do not think Missouri will get blown out, but the Gamecocks will play solid D and Lattimore will have a good game and they will win and cover the spread.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Missouri vs South Carolina Odds &amp; Prediction Missouri (2-1) has 2 wins on the season, but they lost their debut in the SEC and now will have a hard time getting their first conference win facing 7th ranked South Carolina (3-0).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":193,"featured_media":29602,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[39626,324,327,56469,56470,766,769,20509,1984],"class_list":["post-55149","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ncaa-football","tag-39626","tag-college-football-odds","tag-college-football-predictions","tag-missouri-tigers-vs-south-carolina-gamecocks","tag-missouri-vs-south-carolina","tag-ncaa-football-lines","tag-ncaa-football-picks","tag-tigers-vs-gamecocks","tag-week-4"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55149","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/193"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=55149"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55149\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":55165,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55149\/revisions\/55165"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/29602"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=55149"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=55149"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=55149"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
