Game 3 odds: South Carolina a slight favorite over Mississippi State

South Carolina hit its two early-season layups, earning large wins over both Kent State and Towson — now it’s time for SEC ball to begin. As of Sunday night, the Gamecocks are favored by 3.5 points in their SEC opener versus Mississippi State with a game total of 57.5 points, according to the Polymarket App. Traders on the app currently give South Carolina a 60 percent chance of winning what will be billed as a matchup of big-play quarterbacks LaNorris Sellers and Kamario Taylor. “Yeah, I caught a little bit of their game on television yesterday before we left the hotel and then kind of in between meeting with recruits in my office at the stadium before the game yesterday,” Shane Beamer said Sunday night. “I caught a little bit of it. But two really talented quarterbacks, two weapons, and we’ll have our hands full on Saturday.” The Gamecocks (2-0) opened their season with a 57-0 win over Kent State in the hottest game in Willy B history, then defeated Towson 45-9 Saturday night in a game that featured a lightning delay. Taylor and the Bulldogs are off to a fast start, racking up huge numbers during the first two weeks of the season in a 62-13 win over UL Monroe and a 38-13 victory at Minnesota. Kickoff this upcoming Saturday will be at 4:15 p.m. at Williams-Brice Stadium on the SEC Network. 18+ Only. Restrictions and eligibility requirements apply. Not available in all jurisdictions.
