It’s a matchup that looks more intriguing than it did at the beginning of the season after the Gamecocks’ 31-6 win at Kentucky in Week 2, and College GameDay will be in town as the Tigers travel to Columbia for the first time since 2008.

Advice and prediction

This game certainly looks a bit tougher than it did coming into the year, and LSU will need to be able to run the ball against a Gamecocks defense that has impressed so far. However, South Carolina has had struggles on offense, especially through the air, which could help ease concerns as the Tigers tinker in the secondary.

Prediction: LSU 31, South Carolina 21

Best Bet: LSU (-7), Over 48
