They’re hanging out at No. 24 in the AP rankings for now at 7-3 SU and 5-3-1 ATS, with a key 24-17 win at home over LSU (-1.5) in Week 8. The Gamecocks are hitting the road for the first time in over a month; they’re 23-point underdogs (-115) against the No. 3 Florida Gators (8-1 SU, 7-2 ATS).

The Gators are 5-0 SU and ATS since their shocking 31-30 loss to visiting Mississippi (+23). Florida QB Tim Tebow has thrown only two picks all year, and his 167.14 passer rating is just a shade behind last year’s Heisman-winning 172.44 rating. However, Florida is more dangerous now that Tebow is spreading the ball around. He’s only rushed 105 times this year for 10 TDs after picking up 23 majors on 210 carries last year.
