South Carolina Gamecocks vs Vanderbilt Commodores — DeepSeek betting tip 13 September 2025.
South Carolina Gamecocks
Win Home
1.65
Vanderbilt's defensive vulnerabilities make South Carolina the sharp value play here. The Commodores allowed 31+ points in 7 SEC games last season and lack the front-seven strength to contain South Carolina's balanced offense. QB LaNorris Sellers' dual-threat ability should exploit Vandy's weak run defense that ranked 118th nationally.
Williams-Brice Stadium's home-field advantage amplifies this mismatch. South Carolina covered in 5 of their last 6 home games against Vanderbilt, winning those by an average of 25 points. While Vandy shows occasional offensive sparks, their inconsistent line struggles against power-conference pressure - a weakness SC's defensive tackles will target relentlessly.
The odds tell the real story. South Carolina's 1.60 implies 62.4% win probability, but power ratings suggest closer to 67%. Vanderbilt's 2.43 (41.1% implied) overstates their chances against superior SEC East talent. This 4-5% discrepancy creates tangible betting value on the Gamecocks.
