South Carolina Hopes to Hand Alabama Another Defeat

The South Carolina Gamecocks are 3-2 for the season overall and 1-2 in SEC competition. They have lost two of their last three games, falling to the LSU Tigers and Ole Miss Rebels at home in recent weeks. This week, South Carolina will have its defense tested against Alabama, which could be a problem given that South Carolina has allowed 31.5 points per game over their last two conference games. Finding a way to slow down Jalen Milroe both through the air and on the ground will be the key to this one for the Gamecocks.

Alabama Seeks Bounce Back After Upset Loss

The Alabama Crimson Tide were the number-one team in the country going into last week's college football action. But they were upset by Vanderbilt last week, dropping them to seventh in the rankings going into this weekend's games. For Alabama to avoid a second straight loss, they will need to step things up on the defensive side of the ball. Alabama has given up 37 points per game over their last two games against Vanderbilt and Georgia, including 40 points against the Commodores. While they should be able to get back on track against South Carolina, that is still a concerning stretch for Kalen DeBoer's defense.

South Carolina vs Alabama Betting Pick

We will bank on South Carolina vs Alabama being an ideal get right spot for the Crimson Tide this week. They should be able to cover the spread against a Gamecocks team that has struggled to get stops against the upper echelon SEC teams that they have faced so far. Look for Milroe to make another statement in the Heisman Trophy race in what should be a convincing victory for the Tide.
