Kentucky at South Carolina

October 3, 2026
img4:15 PM Eastern

I had the UNDER on Kentucky against Alabama three weeks ago, and Alabama's 45 points sank it. South Carolina lost 49-18 at Alabama last week, a 31-point margin compared with Kentucky's 28. Kentucky is 3-1, and South Carolina is 2-2. The Gamecocks' wins came against Kent State and Towson, 57-0 and 45-9, and they are 0-2 against FBS opponents: a 41-34 home loss to Mississippi State and the loss at Alabama. Kentucky is 1-1 against FBS opponents, and the win came at Texas A&M, 31-21, with Kenny Minchey completing 14 of 18 passes for 252 yards. Kentucky then ran for 390 yards against South Alabama. South Carolina's offense is the best case for the home side at 38.5 points a game with LaNorris Sellers, but 102 of those 154 points came against Kent State and Towson. There is respected money on Kentucky to win outright, but I like the points. Play Kentucky on the spread.
