South Carolina vs Kentucky Updated Betting Odds: Gamecocks Lead Shrinks

An updated look at the betting odds for the South Carolina vs Kentucky matchup.

The South Carolina Gamecocks are getting ready for their third conference matchup of the season and are still hunting for their first win. They are fresh off of a road loss against Missouri but this weekend they are back at home to take on the Kentucky Wildcats.

If the Gamecocks want to get things back on track, this is a must-win game for them. The Wildcats have been struggling this season, however, they lost by just seven points against Ole Miss two weeks ago and they coming off a bye week for this game.

According to the betting odds, though, South Carolina will be in another close game this weekend

The Gamecocks are listed as a 5.5-point favorite against Kentucky, according to Fan Duel. The over/under for the game is listed at 46.5. The line initially started at 6.5 earlier in the week and has now closed to 5.5. Where this line closes before kickoff is something to keep an eye on.
