Last Updated: 11/20/2020 at 7:41 PM ET

The Missouri Tigers visit Williams-Brice Stadium in Columbia, South Carolina on Saturday for a SEC showdown against the South Carolina Gamecocks. Missouri dropped to 2-3 following its 41-17 loss to the Florida Gators last weekend. The Tigers had a bye this week after their scheduled meeting against Georgia was postponed. Missouri is scoring an average of 22.6 points per game and allowing an average of 33.0 points per game and it's not surprising the Tigers are playing below .500.

Connor Bazelak has passed for 1,101 yards with four touchdowns, one interception and has been sacked seven times. The leading rusher for Missouri is Larry Rountree III with 432 yards and four touchdowns, while the leading receiver is Jalen Knox with 236 yards. On defense, linebacker Nick Bolton is the leader in tackles with 53 and defensive lineman Trajan Jeffcoat is the leader in quarterback sacks with 3.0.

South Carolina dropped to 2-5 following its 59-42 loss to the Ole Miss Rebels on Saturday night. South Carolina was able to gain 548 yards of total offense, but the Gamecocks gave up 708 yards of total offense to the Rebels. South Carolina quarterback Collin Hill passed for 230 yards with one touchdown and one interception. The bulk of South Carolina's offense came from running back Kevin Harris who rushed for 243 yards and five touchdowns in the loss. 

Collin Hill has passed for 1,372 yards with six touchdowns, six interceptions and has been sacked 20 times. The leading rusher is Kevin Harris with 817 yards and 13 touchdowns, while the leading receiver is Shi Smith with 596 yards and four touchdown receptions. On defense, linebacker Ernest Jones is the leader in tackles with 78 and defensive lineman Kingsley Enagbare is the leader in quarterback sacks with 5.0.

South Carolina will defeat Missouri on Saturday, but the play here is UNDER. The UNDER has cashed in nine of Missouri's last 11 and in seven of South Carolina's last eight versus the Tigers. South Carolina relies on it's running back Kevin Harris for the bulk of its offense evidenced by Harris rushing for 243 yards in Saturday's loss to Ole Miss. With Harris rushing early and often against an average Missouri defense against the run, points will be at a premium between these two. Final Score Prediction, South Carolina Gamecocks win but our best play is UNDER 23-16.
