South Carolina vs Arkansas Prediction

The current betting odds have South Carolina listed as a 7 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. South Carolina has looked good in their games this season with their 6-3 record overall and their 4-3 conference record which has them in the top half of the SEC. They have been a good road team too with their 2-1 road record this year. Meanwhile, Arkansas has looked terrible in their games this season with their 3-6 record overall and their 1-5 conference record which has them right near the bottom of the SEC. They haven't looked good on their home field either with their 2-3 home record this season. Arkansas has been one of the worst programs in the SEC over the last few years now and they finally pressed the restart button. They hired a new head coach this season looking to turn things around, but Silverfield wasn't a great hire for this job and nothing has really changed as they are still one of the worst teams in the SEC. They are coming off a 26-23 loss to Auburn in their last one and they have definitely been playing in tight games lately, but they have had trouble beating the bottom feeders in the conference and have been getting blown out against top opponents. South Carolina isn't one of the best teams in the SEC, but they have looked a lot better lately since a bad start to the season. They have really turned things around, looking like one of the best teams in the conference over the last month, and they still have a really talented QB who has been playing like one of the best in the nation. They are coming off a 17-9 win over Texas A&M in their last one, but their offense was rolling for weeks entering that game and they will look a lot better against this Arkansas defense. South Carolina has also looked a lot better on defense lately and this Arkansas offense has been really uninspiring all year. The best way to place a bet here is on South Carolina to cover the spread in this game.
