Georgia vs South Carolina: Expert picks and predictions

The UGA Wire staff presents our weekly expert score, stat and game predictions ahead of Georgia football at South Carolina.

The No. 9 Georgia Bulldogs (5-2, 5-2) take on the South Carolina Gamecocks (2-6, 2-6) this Saturday in Columbia.

South Carolina has been much more competitive than their record shows, but their only strong win has been over the 5-2 Auburn Tigers.  Georgia has struggled with ranked opponents as of late, dropping games to Alabama and Florida.  Although there have been a number of questions with the Dawgs, it seems as though they have found their man under center in USC transfer quarterback J.T. Daniels.

Daniels completed 28 of his 38 passes for 401 yards and four touchdowns last week in a win over Mississippi State.  He has already made his way into the 2021 NFL Draft conversation and is a big plus for the Georgia offense.

Georgia is currently favored by 21.5 points over the Gamecocks.

Saturday’s matchup is set to kickoff at 7:30 P.M. ET on SEC Network.
