The current betting odds have Florida listed as an 11.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Florida has looked good in their games this season with their 4-1 record overall and their 2-1 conference record which has them right in the top half of the SEC. They have looked great on their home field too with their 3-0 home record this season. Meanwhile, South Carolina has looked terrible in their games this season with their 2-3 record overall and their 0-3 conference record which has them right at the bottom of the SEC. They haven't been a good road team either with their 0-1 road record this year. South Carolina had a lot of promise entering the season, but they have fallen flat on their face and haven't even gotten into the tough part of their schedule. It already feels like the walls are closing in on them this season and it doesn't help that one of their best players has been acting up too. They are coming off a 35-34 loss at home in OT against Kentucky in their last one and they are quickly turning into a big disaster after blowing another big lead against a mediocre conference opponent. Florida is coming off a 45-17 loss to Missouri in their last one and they got crushed, but that wasn't the best situation for them either. They had to go on the road against a desperate Mizzou team right after pulling off one of their biggest wins in a while, beating Ole Miss. That loss is going to ground them though and Florida will be looking to bounce back here at home. They still have a ton of talent on their team and deserve to be ranked inside the top 25 while South Carolina looks like they could be one of the worst teams in the SEC this year. The best way to place a bet here is on Florida to cover the spread in this game.
