Florida faces South Carolina on Saturday, November 6th, at Williams-Brice Stadium for a Week 10 SEC college football matchup. 

Florida is coming off a blowout loss to its rival in Georgia, 34-7. With under three minutes in the first half, the Gators only trailed 3-0 with the ball on its own two-yard line. Somehow and someway, Florida went into the break down 24 points with absolutely zero momentum. Florida was not able to recover from the various mistakes it made at the end of the 2nd quarter and now, Florida sits at .500 with a 4-4 record overall and 2-4 in conference play. Florida has two SEC games remaining on its schedule, both on the road. Florida has scored 31 points per game and has earned 483 total yards of offense per game as well. Florida's offense only put up seven points on Georgia, but in terms of yards, the Gators earned 146 more yards than the average team does against UGA this season. Florida's defense has been inconsistent in 2021, but on the year the Gators are allowing 23 points per game and 338 total yards per game as well. 

South Carolina had its bye week during Week 9 and is currently sitting at 4-4 on the year. South Carolina is also 1-4 in SEC play and will be looking for a major upset win when it hosts Florida here. South Carolina has lost four of its last six games and in its most recent game, the Gamecocks were crushed by Texas A&M, 44-14. South Carolina has scored 21 points per game as the offense has struggled all season long. Only twice this season has South Carolina earned 400 or more yards, and those were games against the FCS' Eastern Illinois and one of the worst teams in the FBS, Vanderbilt. South Carolina has been a lot sharper on the defensive side, allowing 25 points per game and being strong against opposing passing games this season. 

These two teams met last year in which Florida was victorious in that game by the score of 38-24. The home team is 0-3 against the spread in the last three games and 2-6 in the last eight in this matchup. There has not been an upset in this series since 2014. 

Florida is an 18-point favorite and the total is set at 52.5. We have seen Florida blow teams out in very similar spots to this one coming off a few losses. I think the Gators take out their frustrations on the road here and win this game by three touchdowns or more. 

The pick in this article is the opinion of the writer, not a PickDawgz site consensus.
