USC and Mizzou will face off in an SEC battle at 4 p.m. ET at Williams-Brice Stadium. The Gamecocks are out to keep their three-game home win streak alive.

The Tigers' WR Luther Burden III looked sharp as he punched in one rushing touchdown in addition to snatching one receiving TD.
The Gamecocks are the favorite in this one, with an expected 4-point margin of victory. Those interested in the spread don't face an easy decision since they are 4-2 ATS and Mizzou 4-2.
