South Carolina Gamecocks Odds

South Carolina Gamecocks Football 2025 Season Preview

The South Carolina Gamecocks are heading into the 2025 college football season with cautious optimism after a disappointing 5–7 finish in 2024. Now in his fourth year, head coach Shane Beamer finds himself at a pivotal moment for the program, needing to show tangible progress to keep pace in the unforgiving SEC.

The offense will be in the hands of LaNorris Sellers, the redshirt sophomore quarterback whose dual-threat potential has Gamecock fans excited. After flashes of promise in limited action last year, Sellers will now have the keys to the offense. He’ll be joined by Arkansas transfer RB Raheim “Rocket” Sanders, whose power and speed give the backfield a serious upgrade.

The defense returns standout pass rusher T.J. Sanders and will rely on improved play from a young secondary. The schedule won’t offer many breaks, with early-season matchups against Georgia and Ole Miss, but a favorable close to the year could help South Carolina get back to bowl eligibility — or even exceed expectations. 

Betting on the South Carolina Gamecocks

South Carolina Point Spreads

Point spreads are a popular bet one can make on either team in a college football game and are based on the margin of victory for the winning team.

A South Carolina spread might look like this:

• South Carolina +3.5 (-110)
• Alabama -3.5 (-110)

A 31-28 loss for South Carolina is still a win for spread bettors since the three-point margin of defeat is less than the 3.5-point spread. Spread tickets on the Gamecocks would cash with any loss of three or fewer points, or an outright win.

South Carolina Over/Unders

South Carolina Moneylines

While spread bets depend on the amount of the victory, moneyline bets are a bit simpler, as all that matters is which team wins. Let's look at an example:

• South Carolina -160
• Kentucky +180

The minus (-) and plus (+) signs distinguish the favorite from the underdog, makingSouth Carolina the favorite in this scenario. Odds can be understood more clearly if you think in terms of $100 increments. A wager on the Gamecocks odds would mean every $160 bet nets $100. And it's the opposite for underdogs: Here, the Kentucky moneyline was set at +180, meaning a $100 wager would profit $180.

Moneylines are also commonly used when making parlays, which are multiple bets tied into one. Let’s say you bet on South Carolina's moneyline and the Over, both bets would need to win for that parlay to be successful. The risk may be greater, but so is the reward with increased odds.
