The South Carolina Gamecocks (1-1) head south to Athens to match up with the 2-time defending campion Georgia Bulldogs (2-0) in an SEC opener for both squads Saturday at 3:30 p.m. (CBS). Below, we look at South Carolina vs. Georgia odds from FanDuel Sportsbook. Also see: SportsbookWire’s college football picks and predictions.
After losing 31-17 to North Carolina in its opening game as a 3-point underdog in Charlotte, South Carolina took out its frustrations as a 17-point favorite on an overmatched Furman team 47-21 Saturday. Obviously, Furman is quite different from the athletes South Carolina will see in Georgia.
The Bulldogs routed Ball State 45-3 Saturday, covering as 41.5-point home favorites — they didn’t cover the 51-point spread in their season-opening 48-7 victory vs. UT Martin 2 weeks ago.
Georgia and South Carolina should be well-rested as both are coming off non-competitive games, but the Bulldogs do have the better athletes on both sides of the ball in this SEC matchup.
South Carolina QB Spencer Rattler was sacked 9 times in the loss to North Carolina. The Bulldogs defense will look to do the same, getting to Rattler early, which could lead to another lop-sided victory for the No. 1 team in the US LBM Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports.
