South Carolina vs Mizzou Betting

This game opened off the board early in the week, with South Carolina starting quarterback Connor Shaw’s status unknown, but quickly showed up with the home team chalked by 2.5 points.

Shaw injured his knee in the Gamecocks’ loss at Tennessee last week. Coach Steve Spurrier hadn’t ruled Shaw out of the Missouri game to start the week, but didn’t seem overly optimistic either. If Shaw can’t go, Dylan Thompson, a capable backup, will get the start.

Missouri also is expected to start its backup quarterback, Maty Mauk, who led the undefeated Tigers to a win over Florida last week. Mauk is playing in place of injured starter James Franklin.

South Carolina won last season’s meeting, 31-10.

The Tigers have covered the spread in five of their last six home games.

The Tigers currently sport a record of 7-0, and have posted a corresponding betting slate of 7-0 ATS. The Gamecocks are 5-2 and 2-5 ATS. Betting totals have seen the Tigers post a 5-2 over under record this season, while the Gamecocks have gone 4-3 against the number.
