[FONT="]Missouri at South Carolina – College Football Predictions[/FONT]
[FONT="]The Game[/FONT]
[FONT="]Get ready for some sweet under-the-radar SEC East action on Saturday at the Tigers travel to Columbia to take on the Gamecocks. South Carolina had a really disappointing effort vs Kentucky last week and could not build on their win over Vanderbilt in the previous game. Missouri is coming off a bye week and when we last saw them in action they were giving YOUR Georgia Bulldogs all they could handle……until Georgia seemed to score a defensive TD on every third play.[/FONT]
[FONT="]Can Missouri pick up an SEC road win?[/FONT]
[FONT="]The Details[/FONT]
[FONT="]South Carolina -2 Missouri (64.5)
[/FONT]
[FONT="]MEGALOCKS LINE – Missouri -2.5[/FONT]
[FONT="]“Vegas” Implied Projected Score: South Carolina 33.25 Missouri 31.25
[/FONT]
[FONT="]The Match-Up:[/FONT]
[FONT="]Missouri offense vs South Carolina defense[/FONT]
[FONT="]Drew Lock is one of the most talented QBs in college football and is off to a really good start. Lock has completed 63% of his passes with a fine 11-2 TD to INT ratio and that includes a game against Georgia. The Missouri OL is still one of the best kept secrets in college football as they have only allowed three sacks so far this year (13 the entire 2017 season) and that means trouble for the South Carolina pass defense. The Cocks are having a hard time getting PENETRATION (7 sacks) and are not forcing many turnovers (5). The Tigers’ WR group should be able to do serious damage in this game and look out if they get Emanuel Hall back and healthy (23.9 YPC). The running game is also sneaky good as they are averaging almost 200 yards per game and have a DEEP set of RBs to carry the load. South Carolina is going to need to find a way to force a few fumbles and/or make some red zone stops to keep themselves in the game. Unlikely, but certainly not impossible.[/FONT]
[FONT="]South Carolina offense vs Missouri defense[/FONT]
[FONT="]What in the SAM HILL is going on with QB Jake Bentley? Mr Bentley has a suspect 7-6 TD to INT ratio, and while the WR group has dropped a lot of passes, the passing offense is just not clicking. They are going to need to fix things on Saturday because the Missouri run defense is really good. You have to beat them though the air, but then again, Purdue couldn’t beat Missouri at home when they threw for 572 yards. There are some injuries among the Gamecocks’ passing game threats but they certainly have the talent to jump up and perform in this game. One thing to note is that our SOUTH CAROLINA STRUGGLING QB INSIDERS have noted that they may go with an inexperienced Michael Scarnecchia at QB or at least get him in the game PRONTO if Bentley gets off to a poor start. Everyone LOVES the back-up QB no matter what team we are talking about so maybe that gives them a spark?[/FONT]
[FONT="]Trends, Intangibles and More![/FONT]
[FONT="]South Carolina has an 11-5 SU mark at home under HC Muschamp…..The Tigers have been poor on the road under HC Odom but did beat a pretty desperate Purdue team away from home earlier this season.[/FONT]
[FONT="]Summary[/FONT]
[FONT="]It’s hard to imagine Missouri losing this game if they avoid mistakes and crapping the bed with turnovers. South Carolina is in a tough spot mentally right now because they have no shot at winning the SEC East (lost to Kentucky and Georgia) and nobody is happy with the way things are going. They have had a long season so far even though it’s only early October. They had the yuuuuuge game with Georgia, had the distraction of hurricane week and a cancelled game, got fired up vs Vandy when their HC made some dumb comments and just finished losing to Kentucky AGAIN. Missouri should be the sharper squad coming in off a bye with time to get healthy.[/FONT]
[FONT="]Conclusion[/FONT]
[FONT="]Official play: Missouri +2 -110 (play down to pick ’em).[/FONT]

Hey Buzz thanks for all the work you put in here. Did you bet Victor King's plays this week ? he bounced back nicely last weekend. After reading all these news letters for a few years now the bottom line is bet the guys with the hot hand. Had a winning year last year by following VSIN picks the last month of the season. So Brad Powers is the hot hand right now ( cant stand him i think he's just a tout) but i dont care how anyone picks winners as long as they keep picking them. Good luck to all
Great work Buzz

Ozzy1: I bet bigger on Victor's Five Star than I did on his top newsletter play, a 3 star. Those plays have been suffering bad.
Victor Kings's Totals Tipsheet
3* (1-3)
2* (4-4)
Even though I am 1-3 with the Rx Newsletter Pick following Victor's top newsletter play, I know The King is a very consistent handicapper.
His top newsletter play this week, a 3 star, is the Redskins and Saints OVER. Going to put a bet on that. Staying on track.
