Missouri is a dog to a bad South Carolina offense. Missouri has an underrated QB in Drew Lock (18 TDs, six INTs), who was 23-of-38 for 376 yards and three TDs in a 28-27 loss to Georgia as a +7 dog. He has also topped 400 yards twice this season. He has good targets while freshman RB Damarea Crockett (601 yards) provides balance with 6.3 yards per carry. Missouri is on a 9-3 run UNDER the total in SEC play, as well as going UNDER in seven of its last eight road contests. The UNDER is also 19-6-1 after allowing more than 450 total yards in their previous game. New South Carolina coach Will Muschamp has improved the defense, allowing 21.17 points per game in the conference (sixth in the SEC). South Carolina is on a 9-3 run UNDER the total, as well as 10-4-1 UNDER at home. The offense has been terrible at #123 in the nation in yards and dead last in scoring (17.8 ppg). The Gamecocks didn't score more than two offensive touchdowns in a game for the entire first half of the season. South Carolina is favored but on a 7-13 straight-up run. They were a 20-point favorite over UMass two games ago and won 34-28. They also squeezed by East Carolina 20-15, as chalk. They haven't been favored often the last two seasons, losing at home as chalk to Kentucky, 26-22, last year. Take Missouri on the moneyline and the UNDER.
