Missouri vs South Carolina Prediction

The outlook on both of these teams has changed a lot over the last month. Missouri went from being a playoff contender to now being a double-digit underdog on the road. The South Carolina Gamecocks were the team that couldn’t win big games to now being a double-digit favorite because they beat Texas A&M and Vanderbilt in back-to-back weeks. Slight overreaction? This will be just the fourth time since 2020 that South Carolina is a double-digit favorite in SEC play. I’m not buying it, folks. Give me Missouri and the points.
