Here are news and notes and computer trends, as we take a
look from a bettor’s standpoint, the Vanderbilt and
Carolina
is a 10 point road favorite with a total of 41 according to BetUs Sportsbook.
The Gamecocks will start backup quarterback Chris Smelley. However, Jimmy Ashton of Lines-Maker.com says that is not
necessarily bad news for USC. Starting QB Tommy Beecher threw four
interceptions in his first career start to NC State last week. Smelley came in and completed all five passes en route to
two scoring drives.
This is a huge revenge game for USC. Last year they were
6-1 and ranked sixth in the country, but were beaten in
by the Commodores 17-6. USC Running back Mike Davis starts after a token
non-start, but non-benching last week in which he carried just 14 times, but
rushed for 101 yards.
Vanderbilt will likely be without starting running back
Jeff Jennings because of a shoulder injury. This further depletes an offense
that has several injuries at wide receiver including starter George Smith.
Without any question, the biggest bet from a proven world
class handicapper is from Stevie Vincent, the father of forensic sports
handicapping. He has the ESPN SEC Game of the Quarter Century on the side.
