ECU vs. South Carolina (Against the Spread)

Last week didn't go as planned for me or the Gamecocks. I thought that South Carolina would come out focused and with few mental mistakes. I was wrong. From the intial fumble and interception to the missed tackles, it was a sloppy game from our Gamecocks. Nevertheless, a road win in the SEC is a very good thing. A win is a win, even if South Carolina didn't cover the spread. In any event, onwards to the East Carolina game, which is the home opener for the Gamecocks 2012 campaign.

My breakdown and pick against the spread is below the jump.

South Carolina at Vanderbilt (Against the Spread)

This year, I'll try to handicap every game for the South Carolina Gamecocks against the spread. As a disclaimer, this is for entertainment purposes only. Sports betting is generally illegal, so this is a mental exercise. DO NOT RELY ON THIS FOR BETTING MONEY.

Ok, having said that...my thoughts and pick against the spread are below the jump.
