Rider is getting too many points for a team that is expected to be much improved this season with three returning starters. That list includes Dwight Murray, who averaged 15.8 points last season, and newcomer Mervin James, who scored 23 points in the Broncs' 85-79 win over Bucknell on Wednesday. South Carolina is 4-1, but the Gamecocks are shooting only 43.8%, which is typical for coach Frank Martin's teams, and it makes it tough to cover big numbers. The Gamecocks will certainly cool off after shooting an uncharacteristic 59.6% against Wofford on Tuesday. South Carolina is 2-5 ATS its past seven games as a favorite and 1-5 ATS versus teams with losing records dating to last season. Grab the big points with Rider.
