Prop Bets: Alabama Crimson Tide VS South Carolina Gamecocks 2025-10-25
Alabama vs. South Carolina: A Comedy of Errors (With a Side of Crimson Tide Dominance)
The No. 4 Alabama Crimson Tide (6-1) roll into Columbia, S.C., as the statistical equivalent of a 10-ton elephant vs. a squirrel at a chess tournament. The odds? Alabama’s moneyline (-450) implies they’re 81.8% to win, while South Carolina’s +350 line gives them a 22.2% chance—mathematically, it’s like betting your grandma will win a sprint against a Tesla.
The Spread: Alabama is a -13.5-point favorite (per DraftKings/Fanduel), meaning they’ll need to win by more than the number of letters in “Williams-Brice Stadium.” South Carolina’s +13.5 line is their only hope, but their defense has allowed 20+ points in 5 of 7 games. Good luck, Gamecocks.
Total Points: The Over/Under is 47.5-48.5, with every bookie in the world suddenly becoming a defensive coordinator. Alabama’s last four games: Under, Under, Under, Under. South Carolina’s last two: Under, Under. This could be the first college football game where the total points are lower than the number of times South Carolina’s offense has stalled this season.
Player Props to Bet Against (or Laugh At):
- Ty Simpson (Alabama QB): 1,931 yards, 18 TDs, 1 INT. Bet he doesn’t throw for 300+ yards (-110). He’s more likely to hand the ball to his running back and say, “See you at the buffet.”
- LaNorris Sellers (South Carolina QB): 1,134 yards, 5 TDs, 2 INTs. Bet he doesn’t throw a pick-six (+200). His interception rate is 4.5%, but in this game, it’ll feel like 45%.
Why the Under is a Lock:
- Alabama’s defense has allowed 24+ points in zero of their last six games.
- South Carolina’s offense averages 21.4 PPG, which is… charming.
- The SportsLine Projection Model says 43 combined points. That’s 4.5 fewer than the Over/Under. Bring a calculator and a sense of dread.
Prediction: Alabama 30, South Carolina 12. The Crimson Tide will stomp so hard, the Gamecocks’ sideline will start chanting, “We didn’t start the fire… but we will start the clock on your bench time.”
Final Joke: If you bet the Under, you’ll be celebrating. If you bet on South Carolina, you’ll be explaining to your friends why you own a “Trust the Process” hoodie from 2016.
