South Carolina has 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games overall and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games against a team with a losing record, while the over is 10-3 in their last 13 street games. Kentucky are 5-15-2 ATS in their last 22 games overall and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 home games, while the over is 5-0-1 in their last 6 games after a loss. The home team is 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings between these two teams.
I have been trying to defend both sides, but the truth of the matter is that neither side has done anything lately to guarantee its support with any part of our hard-earned money. Kentucky has been a disappointment from the start, while South Carolina just can’t do anything right either. This is also a very high total for two teams that simply make too many mistakes to be trusted. I think this is a total that should be in the 130s at best, so tell me what’s underneath here.
