Clemson at South Carolina odds, picks and predictions
The Clemson Tigers (7-4) and South Carolina Gamecocks (5-6) meet Saturday at Williams-Brice Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET (SEC Network). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook's lines around the Clemson vs. South Carolina odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.
After going 4-4 straight up (SU) and 2-6 against the spread (ATS) in the 1st 8 games, Clemson has picked up the pace and produced how we have expected. It has 3 straight wins against Notre Dame, Georgia Tech and North Carolina, winning by at least 8 points while covering each game. The Over is 2-1 in the 3-game span.
South Carolina has bounced back from a 2-6 start, winning 3 in a row against Jacksonville State, Vanderbilt and Kentucky, to get within a game of bowl eligibility. It needs a win in the finale, similar to last season at Clemson, to get into the postseason.

Clemson at South Carolina picks and predictions
Prediction
Clemson 30, South Carolina 17
Moneyline
Clemson (-300) will cost you 3 times your potential return, and that's quite a bit of risk for not nearly enough reward. Let last season's 31-30 win by South Carolina (+240) in Death Valley serve as a cautionary tale why not to take a heavy favorite in this rivalry game.
PASS.
Against the spread
CLEMSON -7.5 (-110) is playing good football right now, which is a good thing, because so is South Carolina +7.5 (-110).
The Gamecocks need this win for bowl eligibility, and boy, wouldn't the Tigers like to ruin the season of their rivals while winning an 8th game and enhancing their bowl position in the process.
Despite last season's straight up loss as favorites at home, the Tigers are a respectable 4-2 ATS in the past 6 meetings, while Clemson has won 7 of the past 8 meetings overall. The Tigers have covered their past 3 trips to COLA, too.
Over/Under
UNDER 48 (-110) is the lean, but play a half-unit at most.
The total has gone Under in each of the previous 3 meetings at Williams-Brice Stadium while holding a slight 6-4 edge in the past 10 in the series.
For Clemson, the Under is 5-3 in the past 8 games overall while going 3-1 in 4 true road contests this season.
The total has gone low in 4 of the past 5 games for South Carolina, too, and the Gamecocks have posted 17 or fewer points in 3 of those outings.
