Odds: South Carolina big underdogs this week vs. Alabama

Week 2 was one of the biggest highs this team has witnessed in quite some time. Despite the success, Las Vegas still sees South Carolina being humbled this Saturday afternoon by Alabama.

The Gamecocks are currently 25.5-point dogs, with some books setting their lines as high as 26 points in favor of the Crimson Tide.

The opening line was set at 24 points, so bets are definitely trending toward an Alabama cover.

Why was the line set at this number?

Considering Alabama was favored by 34.5-points against Duke and 55 points against New Mexico State, Vegas views South Carolina as a step above Duke when you put into consideration that Alabama is traveling this week.
