South Carolina vs Clemson Prediction
The South Carolina Gamecocks have as good of a team as they've had in years and are more than capable of winning this game on the road. The problem is the Clemson Tigers are too consistent at home, and they've owned this series over the years with wins in 8 of the last 9 meetings. We're to the point where South Carolina has to prove it before I can get behind the Gamecocks confidently. Or at the very least get more points. Under a field goal with Clemson at home, I have to roll with the Tigers.
