South CaroliNA A STEAL @ -7??!?!!!!!? What do you think?

**Aces** · 10-11-07, 01:53 AM

The line seems right to me but I do think your on the correct side GL.

NC has been surprising at home this year.

**pags11** · 10-11-07, 04:25 AM

North Carolina has played a good ECU team on the road very tough...also, they fought very hard at home vs. Virginia (who's turned out to be a pretty good team) only to fall a two point conversion short of tying the game...they let a game at South Florida get away from them, but never stopped competing...they played well at Va. Tech, only giving up 17 points...then last week they played Miami very tough...these guys are a better football team than most give them credit for...

S.Carolina is a steal at -7. They are probably the best opponent, other than So. Florida, that UNC has played. Being one of the top SEC teams (and nationally ranked in the top 15) I'm surprised the line wasn't at least -10. S.Carolina isn't Miami, and I believe they will cover the -7 easy.

I like South Carolina.

Im all over the gamecocks this weekend. I have yet to hear a good reason not to play them. The only thing I have heard is that unc has been playing their opponents tough. That is not enough to convince me not to play USC. They are now 4-1 ATS after a solid beating of Kentucky. I dont see a let down this week either for 3 reasons:

1. The kentucky game was on Thursday so thats 2 extra days of rest/preparation.
2. UNC played a good first half against a mediocre Miami team. I think it was just enough for Spurrier to take these guys serious and not over look them. I really dont see us looking past the tar heels to the big game against Vandy next week either. ha
3. Spurrier would like to make this a big rival every year. The battle of the Carolinas. If that does happen, im sure he would like to make a statement from the get go.

Disclaimer: I dont think its a secret that im a gamecock homer. but ive been right on all of my previous gamecock posts.

I love UNC this week, they are a top play for me.

Those outside of North and South Carolina may not realize just how big a game this is.

The NC faithful are still pissed that SOS hung a 41-0 beat down on them his last year at Duke (and that's been a long time ago now!)

As Pags has pointed out, NC has played teams, with the exception of USF, tough.

SC has beaten the teams they are supposed to have beaten. But they can be accused of coming up a little small at LSU.

At this point, Spurrier's program, now in his third year at USC, is further along than Butch Davis is at UNC.

If both teams play as well as they can play the Gamecocks cover seven.

If the Cocks play down to their level of competition, turn the ball over, don't react well in a hostile environment, then UNC can steal one much like they did last week against a very mediocre Miami team.

Just my two cents!

agreed doc...

**VolinArizona** · 10-11-07, 04:27 PM

I hate both sides on this one. Don't overrate USCe.

Why do you hate both sides?

South Carolina is 7th in the country in one poll. Now, IMHO, I think THAT'S a little high. Personally, I'd have them around 15th or so. But they are clearly a top 20 team, for sure.

dam 7th that is way high IMO, they did not impress me when they beat Kentucky.

**Illusion** · 10-11-07, 07:50 PM

Looks like a trap game. I happen to like NC myself.

**Hemlock21** · 10-11-07, 07:56 PM

So. Carolina is the play here. I have many reasons for this pick. One that stands out is that Spurrier and the gamecocks had alot of time to game plan for this game being they had a off day on saturday. NC had a big win over Miami and will come flat in this game.

No trap game here. Its a public play though so get it while it's at 7

**Checkerboard** · 10-11-07, 08:40 PM

staying away from this except for having teased NC on Monday with a CFL game . . .

**mshanedub420** · 10-13-07, 11:36 PM
