Tennessee vs South Carolina Prediction
In this Tennessee vs South Carolina prediction, South Carolina is coming as -2.5 home favorites. The wrong team is favored in this matchup, as South Carolina is 1-3 in its last 4 games and 1-4 ATS in its last 5, while Tennessee has lost only once this season and is 3-1 ATS in its last 4. On top of that, Tennessee has the 11th-best defense in the entire country and have been dominating South Carolina in their recent head-to-head meetings, going 4-1 in their last 5 meetings. I like the value with the road dog in this spot, so take Tennessee by +2.5 in this one.
