- Marcel Reed has topped 236.5 passing yards just three times this season, only one of which performances came at home.
- LaNorris Sellers has +185 odds as an anytime touchdown scorer after recording a rushing touchdown in each of his last two games.
COLLEGE STATION, Texas – The third ranked Texas A&M Aggies host the South Carolina Gamecocks on Saturday as the two teams’ seasons head in entirely different directions.
South Carolina vs #3 Texas A&M Game Odds
| Team | Spread | Moneyline | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| South Carolina | +19.5 (-110) | +700 | O 48.5 (-110) |
| Texas A&M | -19.5 (-110) | -1200 | U 48.5 (-110) |
It is no surprise that the Aggies are heavy favorites over the 3-6 Gamecocks at college football prop betting sites, which give Texas A&M a 19.5 point cushion over South Carolina.
Texas A&M has won three of their last five games by 20+ points, while South Carolina has lost by 20+ points just one time this season.
If bettors feel so inclined as to bet against the spread, they should lean towards Texas A&M to cover as one of the hottest teams in college football at home this Saturday.
Marcel Reed Under 236.5 Passing Yards (-115)
Texas A&M quarterback Marcel Reed has been amongst the best players in the country this season, totaling 2,193 passing yards, 19 touchdowns, and 6 interceptions through nine games to go along with 378 rushing yards and 6 touchdowns, resulting in Reed being listed with the fourth best odds to win the Heisman (+700) in the country.
However, bettors may want to consider taking the under on his passing yards this week (-115), as Reed has eclipsed 237 passing yards in a game just three times all season.
Against unranked SEC teams at home, Reed has averaged 207 passing yards on 23.7 attempts per game. In SEC play overall, he’s averaged 220.7 passing yards per game.
This is due in large part to the dominant run game and defense of the Aggies, which has resulted in a 15.5 point margin of victory in the SEC, meaning there is no need for Reed to air it out.
Expect Texas A&M to dominate early and often while Reed, Rueben Owens II, and Le’Veon Moss control the game on the ground.
LaNorris Sellers Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+185)
Many believed that LaNorris Sellers was the Heisman favorite entering the season, but it has not quite panned out the way that the Gamecocks had hoped.
Sellers has thrown for 1,536 yards, 7 touchdowns, and 5 interceptions through nine games while recording just 158 yards and 3 touchdowns on the ground.
However, if there is one “weak spot” for Texas A&M, it has been their run defense, though they are still in the top half of the country at 60th in yards allowed per carry (4.2).
Sellers has been wildly inefficient running the ball this season, averaging just 1.4 yards per carry, but he has recorded a rushing touchdown in each of the last two games, both against top ten opponents.
+185 odds provides solid value and Sellers’ propensity to use his legs could pay dividends for bettors at South Carolina college football prop betting sites who bet on Sellers to score.
