Line Movement
There has been a decent amount of line movement early on. The game came out anywhere from -3.5 to -4.5 and was moved down to -3 rather quickly. Tuesday night and early Wednesday saw the number go back to -3 and then by the afternoon, there were -3.5’s across the board with even some -4’s available.
Odds: Ole Miss -4.5 | ML: -175 | O/U 53.5
Odds: South Carolina +4.5 | ML: +155
Mississippi: 2-0 SU, 2-0 ATS
South Carolina: 2-1 SU, 3-0 ATS
The Mississippi Rebels’ offense is firing on all cylinders after just two games. The South Carolina Gamecocks’ offense sputtered to start the season but has been starting to warm up in their past two contests. The big question is if the Gamecocks can keep pace with Ole Miss when the teams meet in Columbia on Thursday night.
South Carolina Gamecocks (16-4 SU, 7-7-1 ATS) at Florida Gators (18-4 SU, 7-8 ATS)

Here are some of the NCAAB betting trends as they relate to this matchup:
* SC has won and covered four of its last five games
* SC has played five of its last six games OVER the total
BetUS NCAA Basketball Sports Betting Odds: FLORIDA -1.5
Here are some of the NCAA basketball sports betting trends as they relate to this matchup:
* FLA has won its last ten games SU
* FLA has covered three of its last nine games
It’s interesting that both of these teams, which have recognizable names in college football, went 6-6 last season, yet did not go to a bowl game. With additional post-season contests this season, that hardly seems like something that is possible.
BetUS NCAA Football Betting Odds: IOWA -4, Total 43
The South Carolina Gamecocks (3-2 SU, 1-2-1 ATS) will try to derail a Mississippi team that is flying high right now when they hook up with the Rebels (3-2 SU, 3-1 ATS) in an SEC game that is scheduled for a 2 PM ET kickoff at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium (artificial turf) in Oxford, MS.
Sixth-ranked LSU is a field goal favorite at #10 Auburn in a battle of the Tigers on Saturday night.
The Georgia Bulldogs begin their SEC Conference schedule this Saturday when they invade South Carolina to take on a Gamecocks squad that was beat, yet again, by the Vanderbilt Commodores. The Bulldogs have looked fantastic in their past two games, but South Carolina is an actual team while Central Michigan and Georgia Southern, well, they’re not exactly online football betting powerhouses. Then again, is Georgia?
