SC Week 11 Picks & Predictions

SC has covered three straight games dating back to a 19-10 win over Vanderbilt on October 17.

The Odds: Florida is a 7.5 point favorite against SC.

About UF: First-year freshman receiver Antonio Callaway averages 17.5 yards on 42 touches. The Gamecocks are allowing 208.3 yards per game on the ground this season, which ranks 111th in the nation.

Another Florida win here against an SEC East team brings them another step close to the conference title game. The Gators were 24-4-3 against the Gamecocks from 1911 through 2009.

Will the Gators be able to avoid giving SC its longest winning streak in the series? Spurrier, who is the all-time wins leader at both Florida and SC, won’t attend the game. Florida holds a 24-8-3 edge over the Gamecocks, and lost consecutive games in 2013 and 2014, 2010 and 2011, and 1936 and 1939. Florida has no players from SC.

Florida’s offense has sputtered since Will Grier was suspended, Treon Harris has not been great and Florida has lacked the big-play capability. The Gators clinched the Eastern Division title by beating Vanderbilt 9-7 last week.

Last week, the Gamecocks dropped an SEC contest to Tennessee in the final seconds of the game. The Gators haven’t been blanked since losing to Auburn 16-0 on October 29, 1988. The Gators have an all-time record of 699-401-40. Arkansas enters its Saturday night game against LSU with 699 victories.
