LSU at South Carolina

The Tigers are off of their worst loss in quite a while, getting smacked around by the Gators in the Swamp. LSU could muster just 21 points in that game. Meanwhile, South Carolina continues to play the best defense in the SEC. The Gamecocks are impressively rated fourth in yards allowed in the nation and they held a highly potent Georgia team to just 14 points at home in week three. It is clear that LSU, a team that has been so potent offensively over the last few years, is just not the same team on the offensive side of the ball right now. They have averaged just 27 points per game in SEC play, a far cry from the team that was putting up in the 40s on a regular basis last year. The Gamecocks offense is not explosive and LSU will not have the same problems defending as they did vs. the Gators. The Gamecocks are 8-1 UNDER dating back to last season to a total in this range (42-49). I look for this one to go UNDER the total as well.
