South Carolina at Alabama Preview & Picks

Alabama are tipped to cover as they bounce back from last week’s loss.

The Crimson Tide’s loss in Nashville was a massive shock, but this South Carolina is not nearly as good as South Carolina on third down.

The Crimson Tide can get the Gamecocks of the field as the offense can continue to pile up points.

  • Alabama are 7-3-0 ATS in their last 10 home games
  • South Carolina are 2-4-0 ATS in their last 6 games against ranked teams
  • The Over has cashed in 8 of Alabama’s previous 10 games

Head To Head

  • Alabama lead the all-time series 13-3
  • Alabama won 47-23 when the two teams last met in September 2019

South Carolina Form

South Carolina head to Tuscaloosa on the back of their second defeat to a ranked team this season, which has left them 3-2.

The Gamecocks kicked off their season with a 23-19 home win over Old Dominion, before heading out on the road to take down Kentucky, 31-6.

They failed to make it to 3-0 though, as they returned home to lose 36-33 when they hosted ranked LSU.

South Carolina bounced back in emphatic fashion a week later, blowing out Akron 50-7, but they quickly returned to losing ways.

The Gamecocks hosted Ole Miss last weekend and managed a solitary field goal as they were beaten 27-3 by the Rebels.

Alabama Form

Alabama returned home with the aim of issuing an immediate response to last week’s stunning defeat to Vanderbilt.

The Crimson Tide opened the season with a four-game win streak, which started with a 63-0 shutout of Western Kentucky.

They backed that up a week later with a 42-16 win over South Florida, before heading out on the road to beat Wisconsin, 42-10.

That sent Alabama into the massive SEC opener against Georgia with a perfect record, and they kept it intact by fending off a Bulldogs fightback to win 41-34.

The Crimson Tide’s record was spoiled a week later though, as they suffered a shock 40-35 loss to Vanderbilt on the road.
