Last week South Carolina entered undefeated Georgia as 20.5-point dogs. The Gamecocks shocked the world with a 20-17 overtime win to get back into bowl contention. The Gamecocks were down to third-string at quarterback and yet prevailed with a strong defense. By contrast, Florida played well but could not last in a 42-28 NCAA Football betting loss at LSU. Head coach Dan Mullen’s team remains in contention to win the SEC East and make it to the championship game. Offensively the Gators remain too inconsistent. However, Florida boasts one of the top defenses in the nation.
