The South Carolina Gamecocks and Texas A&M Aggies will meet in an important SEC football game on Saturday. South Carolina enters at 3-6 overall and 1-6 in SEC play. Texas A&M is perfect at 9-0 and 6-0 in the SEC, with their sights set on College Football Playoff action and a spot in the SEC championship game. Before this contest kicks off from College Station, I’ve looked at the betting markets and made my South Carolina vs Texas A&M prediction.

Key Storylines
- A&M’s bid for perfection: Texas A&M currently sits at 9-0, with an undefeated SEC record. The Aggies are ranked third in the College Football Playoff standings and show no signs of letting up. They control their own destiny in the race to make the SEC championship game as well and will try to stand tall under the pressure of the situation.
- South Carolina’s offensive woes: The Gamecocks rank near the bottom of the SEC in rushing yards per game (100.8) and total offense (294 yards). Quarterback LaNorris Sellers struggled with injury concerns early in the season and hasn’t been great when he has been healthy for the most part.
- Rematch factor: Last year, South Carolina beat Texas A&M 44-20 in Columbia. Sellers had 350 total yards and three scores in that game. The Aggies will attempt to that loss as motivation and will try to get even now that they are the home team.
- Momentum and environment: Texas A&M returns home after a dominant 38-17 road win over Missouri. Their defense ranks among the best in the SEC in yards allowed per pass attempt. South Carolina is in the midst of a four-game losing streak and has not won on the road in this matchup previously.
Quarterback Play
Texas A&M’s Marcel Reed has emerged as both a passing and rushing threat this season. He currently has over 2,100 passing yards with 19 touchdowns and 6 interceptions. He also has 378 rushing yards and 6 rushing touchdowns. He will test the Gamecocks defense in this game.
LaNorris Sellers has the athletic ability to threaten any defense, but this season his production has dipped compared to last year. His passing grade has fallen and he has not consistently moved the South Carolina offense against top competition.
Betting Trends
- South Carolina is 4-5 against the spread so far this season.
- Texas A&M is 5-4 against the spread going into this game.
- The under has cashed in 6 of South Carolina’s first 9 games.
- The over is 7-2 in games involving the Aggies this year.

Final Thoughts
Texas A&M is vastly superior to South Carolina on both sides of the ball right now. I don’t think that the pressure of closing in on a playoff spot will cause too many problems for the Aggies here. I recommend laying the points with Texas A&M as they should win another game by multiple possessions.
