Point spread

[lynbug]

Gamecocks  +3.5
Razorbacks  -3.5

Does this sound logical?

Yes. I thought it would be closer to a pick but not surprised we are favored by 3. All 7 of SC's losses are in conference and it's senior day in Fayetteville for a Hog team who's coming off back to back road wins.

S Car defends and rebounds well.  Martin has given Anderson trouble in the past.  Can the Hogs get good first shots and hit them and end defensive possessions with a rebound or turnover?  S Carolina is very turnover prone especially on the road.  Get enough turnovers to offset the rebounding and Hogs should be good.  SC gets possessions with rebounds and Hogs by causing turnovers.  SC is 1st in SEC in extra scoring chances and Hogs 3rd (A&M 2nd).  Hogs have the advantage home vs SC road in this area.  SC also gets to the line frequently but much less on the road than at home.  Again, this being a home game for the Hogs makes a big difference.
