After last weekend’s trouncing of the Florida Gators, Steve Spurrier and his South Carolina Gamecocks are seated at 21 in the BCS poll. Bad news for Gator fans and Spurrier haters, but if we look closely at a prop line offered at the beginning of the year, Spurrier may make fans out of a few more people if his team beats Clemson this weekend. BetOnSports, obviously down on Spurrier’s chances of fielding a competitive team offered a +1000 line on South Carolina finishing in the Top 25.

University of Central Florida Golden Knights (0-0-0)

at

University of South Carolina Gamecocks (0-0-0)

Best Line: CFL +21.5, SC -19.5, TOTAL 49 points

We’ll buy into it. We love the Steve Spurrier angle as much as anybody else. We want Fun ‘N Gun and that whole Shit-Kicker-Ross Perot pap he dishes out. Does he have the fire power at SC to execute the offense properly? No. Of course not. But the University of Central Florida Golden Knights may be one of the most truly awful football teams ever. This is a team that was ranked dead last in most AP polls last year. Their defense gives up a crapload of points and third down conversions. Watching them execute their offense reminds us of a team of drunk senior citizens riding around in Rascals. The point total is 49 here—the under’s a gimme—but we also think the Gamecocks will score at least three touchdowns to cover the spread. Prepare for the Steve Spurrier post-game conference and preening, however undeserved it may be.

PICK!: SC -19.5 and Under
