Why Alabama can cover
Alabama's defense was unable to slow down Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia in last week's loss, but the Crimson Tide should be focused and motivated on Saturday. Their offense was not the issue in that game, as junior quarterback Jalen Milroe completed 19 of 25 passes for 312 yards and a touchdown. Star freshman wide receiver Ryan Williams caught three passes for 82 yards and a score.
Milroe has now completed 73.4% of his passes for 1,274 yards and 11 touchdowns while rushing 59 times for 283 yards and nine more scores. Junior running back Jam Miller leads Alabama's rushing attack with 318 yards and five touchdowns on 39 carries, averaging 8.2 yards per attempt. The Crimson Tide are 19-8-1 against the spread as home favorites over the past five seasons. See which team to pick here.
Why South Carolina can cover
South Carolina is coming off a 27-3 loss to Ole Miss, but the Gamecocks were much more impressive in their first four games of the season. They went on the road and blew out Kentucky as 9.5-point underdogs in their lone conference road game, as freshman quarterback LaNorris Sellers completed 11 of 15 passes with two touchdowns. He also helped South Carolina cover the spread as a 6.5-point home underdog in a 36-33 loss to then-No. 16 LSU the following week.
The Gamecocks covered the spread as 25-point favorites in their 50-7 win over Akron prior to the Ole Miss loss. Sellers has 548 passing yards, 207 rushing yards and five total touchdowns this season. South Carolina has covered the spread in four of the last five meetings between these teams. See which team to pick here.
