South Carolina football: ESPN projects win total for Gamecocks’ 2020 season
By Jacob Elsey
@OLE MISS
The Rebels are one of the newly added teams to the slate, and it may not be good news for the Gamecocks. ESPN gives South Carolina a 37.5% chance to win in Oxford.
MISSOURI
After four straight losses, South Carolina finally gets a win against Missouri. ESPN gives South Carolina a 71.5% chance to beat the Tigers.
GEORGIA
The Gamecocks will look to make it two in a row over the Bulldogs after pulling the upset last year. It will be tough as ESPN gives South Carolina just a 14.8% chance to win.
@KENTUCKY
In the season finale, ESPN projects that the Gamecocks will lose in Lexington, falling to 3-7 to end the year after a 2-1 start.
From this outlook, it appears that South Carolina will only be favored in two to three contests throughout the season, which demonstrates the difficulty of the slate they’ll face. Let’s hope the Gamecocks can pull a few upsets and finish stronger than this projection reflects.
