Texas A&M Aggies vs. South Carolina Gamecocks Key Stats
After Week 1, Texas A&M was ranked sixth in the country, but after getting upset multiple times, they've fallen out of the top 25. The last few weeks, they've played some pretty tough schools, and as a result, the offense has sputtered. The Aggies heavily feature running back Devon Achane, who has garnered 97 carries on 5.4 yards per carry. He was quiet against Alabama, by his standards, but before that, he had 270 rushing yards during Weeks 4&5. QB Haynes King has been shaky, so Achane will likely need to have a strong performance if his team is to break out of their slump. The Gamecocks' defense has shut down the passing game, so it looks like the Aggies will elect to run the ball more frequently anyway.
South Carolina is on a nice run right now, and running back Marshawn Lloyd has been very reliable in the backfield. Last week he tallied 110 yards on 22 carries, and he currently ranks eighth in the SEC in total rushing yards. Transfer QB Spencer Rattler has taken a big step back after two solid seasons at Oklahoma, and he's seen his attempts dwindle as the season has gone on. Texas A&M's defense only has two interceptions through six games, but they have buckled down in the red zone, explaining their low 18.8 points per game allowed. Both offenses have had issues with tough SEC defenses, so we'll see if they can fare better tonight.

Texas A&M Aggies vs. South Carolina Gamecocks Betting Prediction
The Aggies have dominated the Gamecocks historically, but this time around, South Carolina enters with the better record. Both offenses have been more run-heavy over the past several weeks, which should result in less scoring. Even though these schools are fresh off a bye week, the under has hit in five of the past six meetings, which should be the case again tonight.
Prediction: Under 45 (-107)
