DUKE'S MAYO BOWL - South Carolina went UNDER its last two games as the defense did a good job in a 21-17 win over Auburn, but then the offense was shut down in a 30-0 loss to Clemson. The Gamecocks average only 21.3 points per game, on the season and they are #116 nationally in total yards per game. Also, QB Jason Brown entered the transfer portal. They still have Zeb Noland, but he threw for only 96 yards on 11 of 22 passing with no TDs against Clemson. South Carolina is eighth in pass defense and 44th in total yards allowed. It will be in charge of containing North Carolina QB Sam Howell, who threw for 2,851 yards with 23 TDs and nine interceptions this season. However, NC State found a way in the regular-season finale when Howell was held to 14 of 26 for 147 yards with one TD and one pick, and the Wolfpack won 34-30. The teams last met in 2019, and the game went UNDER by 18 points. The Tar Heels have stayed UNDER four of their last five vs. SEC teams, and the Gamecocks have gone UNDER six in a row in non-conference games. They are also 20-7 UNDER against ACC schools. Take the UNDER.

South Carolina vs. North Carolina
3:30 PM Eastern
Defense is often ahead of the offense in Week 1 and note that South Carolina has gone four of five games UNDER when playing in August. Senior QB Jake Bentley has 30 interceptions in his 32 career starts and they lost WR Deebo Samuel to the NFL, leaving the Gamecocks searching for a new No. 1 receiver. And running back is the least proven position on the offensive side of the ball. South Carolina is on an 11-4 run UNDER the total against the ACC. North Carolina is off a terrible campaign and brings in a new coach, Mack Brown. They have a lot of work to do on offense with three-players competing at quarterback, a position where they had 14 TDs, 14 picks in 2018. And the wide receiver corps is inexperienced, meaning both defenses in this one look much better than the offenses. Play the UNDER.
