Betting on the South Carolina Gamecocks
Following a pair of losses in Week 2 and Week 3 to Arkansas and Georgia, South Carolina managed to get back on track and won its last two games, scoring at least 50 points in each of them with the latest being a 50-10 win over South Carolina State.
Those last two games saw the Gamecocks’ offense be quite explosive, as they managed to surpass 400 total yards in both engagements despite having less time in possession, and a similar approach could help in this match in which they will probably not have much time on the ball either.
Betting on the Kentucky Wildcats
The Kentucky Wildcats come into this Week 6 on the heels of losing their first game of this NCAAF regular season by dropping by a tight score of 22-19 against another great team like Ole Miss, and now the #7 ranked university in the AP rankings this week will be looking to bounce back in a much more accessible matchup on paper.
However, whether or not they get a win could depend largely on whether their starting quarterback, Will Levis, is able to recover in time since is currently in doubt for the engagement. Levis has thrown at least two touchdown passes in his last three appearances and did not have a pass intercepted in either of his last two, so his absence could be a big factor for the team.
JefeBet Prediction
Betting on this game could be tricky until the status of Kentucky’s quarterback is known for certain, as this could completely change the fate of the commitment.
However, Kentucky’s defense could respond if the quarterback does not get to be a part of the game. The Wildcats have allowed fewer than 20 points in three of their five clashes this NCAAF season, and managed to manhandle the Ole Miss offense in the second half in the previous week.
South Carolina may have scored a total of 106 points in its last two appearances, but against Georgia it failed to even get its hands in, and that could be the case again when it faces another top-10 AP ranked opponent.
Prediction: Under (SC 16 – UK 24)
