South Carolina vs No. 21 Tennessee Odds

• Opening moneyline: Tennessee -455/South Carolina +345
• Opening total: Over/Under 61 points scored
• Time: 7:30 p.m. ET Saturday (SEC Network)

UPDATE 2:30 P.M. ET FRIDAY: Tennessee opened -11.5 at BetMGM and has spent the week bouncing between -12 and -12.5. The Vols are currently -12.5, though tickets and money are in the 2.5/1 range on the Gamecocks.

Early moneyline bettors are also on South Carolina, which last year stunned Tennessee 63-38 as a hefty 23.5-point home underdog. Moneyline tickets are 5/1 and moneyline cash beyond 9/1 on the Gamecocks.

The total opened at 62.5, topped out at 63.5 Monday and just hit its low point of 60.5 in the past few minutes. The Under is netting 60% of early tickets/78% of early dollars.

UPDATE 3 P.M. ET MONDAY: After losing at Florida, Tennessee (3-1 SU/2-2 ATS) stepped away from SEC play for a week and got back on track. The Vols rolled over UTSA 45-14 to cash as 24-point home faves.

South Carolina (2-2 SU and ATS) has covered three in a row. But the Gamecocks are probably still smarting after taking a 14-3 halftime lead at Georgia, only to lose 26-14 in Week 3. Still, in Week 4, South Carolina rebounded with a 37-30 win as 6-point home chalk against Mississippi State.

Tennessee is already up a point in Caesars' college football Week 5 odds market, going to -12 and -12.5 this morning. The total climbed a point to 62 Sunday evening.
