Texas A&M vs. South Carolina Prediction

I’m on South Carolina and the points here. It’s not the prettiest look as South Carolina has not been the same team that made the NCAA tournament last year. However, Texas A&M, for how well they’ve played, have been in some close calls recently, and if it wasn’t for a collapse from Ole Miss, the form for Texas A&M on the road could leave a lot to be desired. The Gamecocks have been more competitive than their record would indicate and just looking at this matchup, this feels like a 3-4 point game if South Carolina doesn’t end up winning it outright. Give me the Gamecocks and the points in this one.
