College Football Betting Trends
South Carolina
The Gamecocks are 7-3 against the spread in their last 10 games on grass and 4-1 ATS in their last five SEC games.
Georgia
The Bulldogs are 6-0 ATS in their last six conference games and 15-6 ATS in their last 21 games on grass.
Prediction:
Georgia has won four straight meetings with South Carolina, covering the spread in three of those four meetings. The Bulldogs have looked amazing so far this year, covering the spread in their two SEC games. South Carolina struggled a great deal in their lone road game, losing at Missouri 34-14. Missouri is definitely not at Georgia’s level. The Bulldogs have a lockdown defense and a powerful offense that can beat the Gamecocks with the run or the pass.
