College Football Predictions and Picks
Mississippi State at South Carolina (Sat, 4:15 p.m. ET)
South Carolina -3.5 (-105)
Spread
A modest home favorite in a genuinely close matchup — South Carolina's own yardage total (436.5) sits just 24 yards ahead of Mississippi State's (412.5), a fair reflection of the number without needing a blowout to justify it.
Over 58.5 (-115)
Total
Both offenses carry real, sizable yardage projections — a combined 849 yards between the two team totals — pointing toward a genuine back-and-forth scoring game rather than a defensive grind.
South Carolina Over 176.5 Rushing Yards (-114)
Rushing Yards
South Carolina's rushing attack projects notably heavier than Mississippi State's (176.5 to 152.5), a real sign the Gamecocks figure to lean on the ground game as a genuine point of emphasis at home.
