South Carolina made 8 of 27 threes in its opener and still beat Stetson 81-55, because it scored 44 points in the paint to Stetson’s 26 and grabbed 15 offensive rebounds to 7. The Gamecocks went 13-19 last season, but 12 of the 15 players on this roster are new. Southeast Missouri State gave up 34 points in the paint to Lipscomb and 36 to Webster, so the area South Carolina won in its opener is where the Redhawks have been giving ground. The Redhawks are 2-0 and have scored 86 and 90. That mismatch inside is why South Carolina wins.

San Francisco is 6-1 and second in the NFL in point differential at plus 8.3 a game, and Las Vegas allows 28.8 points a game, second-worst of 32. The Raiders have given up at least 27 in each of their last six games, including 45 at New England. San Francisco scores 28.1 a game, fifth in the league, and allows 19.9, sixth-fewest, against a Las Vegas offense that scores 27.6. Wide receivers Mike Evans and Deebo Samuel are both out, and the 49ers lost 29-20 at Atlanta two weeks ago without Evans. A defense that porous gives the offense room to work around that, and San Francisco will win.

Combine South Carolina (-1900 moneyline) with San Francisco (-376 moneyline) in a two-team parlay at -301.
