LSU vs. South Carolina prediction & betting tips - September 14 | College Football Week 3

We have an intriguing SEC matchup for Week 3 of the 2024 college football season. The 16th-ranked LSU Tigers are heading to Williams-Brice Stadium on Saturday to battle with the South Carolina Gamecocks.

The Tigers (1-1, 0-0 SEC) are coming off a 44-21 home win on Saturday against the Nicholls Colonels. Junior quarterback Garrett Nussmeier dominated as he finished going 27-of-37 for 302 yards with six passing touchdowns.

The Gamecocks (2-0, 1-0) started their season strong, securing a 31-6 road win over the Kentucky Wildcats on Saturday. Freshman quarterback LaNorris Sellers stepped up as he went 11-of-15 for 159 yards with a pair of passing touchdowns and one interception.

LSU vs. South Carolina prediction

The LSU Tigers are ranked for a reason, as they are clearly the better team. South Carolina has played well but LaNorris Sellers has not shown enough to make the Gamecocks a massive threat in the passing game.

Expect the Tigers to be able to score touchdowns and put the Gamecocks defense on notice. Kyren Lacy has shown the ability to be a solid wide receiver with four touchdown receptions in the first two games so go with the LSU Tigers to cover the spread.
