Revenge could be on the minds of South Carolina players when they play Vanderbilt in a nationally televised Thursday night ESPN game at Vanderbilt Stadium in Nashville. One year ago the Commodores handed the Gamecocks a 17-6 loss on home-turf down in Columbia, S.C. Vanderbilt coach Bobby Johnson expects his nemesis, South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier, to bring his Gamecocks into Nashville with a bit of a chip on their shoulder. But Spurrier knows that too big of a chip could get knocked off which is something Vanderbilt fully plans to do.
Both Vanderbilt and South Carolina are coming off big non-conference wins in week-1. The Gamecocks blanked NC State by a 34-0 score, while Vanderbilt had little trouble disposing of Miami (Ohio) by a 34-13 margin. Last weeks results were also big for gamblers as Vanderbilt easily covered the +3 ½ underdog chalk by winning SU and South Carolina backed up its 14 ½ point spot.
Vanderbilt could have a chip on its shoulder after seeing itself as a double-digit (-10) home field underdog to South Carolina according to online oddsmakers at Sportsbook.com. Oddsmakers also have South Carolna listed as a -440 money line favorite with a 41 total. Vanderbilt backers are getting +340 money lines odds.
Point-Spreads.com Prediction: Vanderbilt will cover the +10 spread and don’t be shocked if they win SU (+340). Vanderbilt’s win on the road at MAC favorite Miami (Ohio) was impressive. South Carolina’s blanking of NCSU was also impressive but the Wolf Pack were hardly quality competition. The media and pollsters love anything Spurrier and the Gamecocks’ early ranking are proof of that fact. The Gamecocks aren’t a top-25 team and Vandy should expose that Thursday night.
