COLUMBIA — South Carolina, a favorite in the opening game of the Will Muschamp era?
That’s the case according to South Point Casino in Las Vegas, which on Friday released its first college football lines for the coming season, and installed the Gamecocks as a 5.5-point favorite at Vanderbilt on Sept. 1. Earlier in the week, 5 Dimes, a sportsbook located in San Jose, Costa Rica, listed USC as a 3-point favorite over the Commodores.
The most anticipated early college football odds usually come out in late June, when the Golden Nugget casino in Las Vegas releases lines on its top games of the season, a group that typically includes a handful of Gamecocks contests.
