WATCH: South Carolina Gamecocks at Georgia Bulldogs – Key Facts, Stats

The No. 2 Georgia Bulldogs host the South Carolina Gamecocks in Week 3 of the college football season.

The No. 2 Georgia Bulldogs are hosting the South Carolina Gamecocks for the 74th meeting of the SEC rivalry. Both teams are undefeated so far this season, with the Bulldogs having beat a ranked Clemson in Week 1. This is the Gamecocks’ first game against a ranked opponent this season and is one of the team’s biggest tests of 2021.

In 2019, unranked South Carolina shocked No. 3 Georgia with a 20-17 win. Georgia had entered the game a 24.5-point favorite. Georgia is once again the favorite in this year’s matchup, but can the Gamecocks repeat an upset against a team that’s now ranked No. 2. Go to Tipico Sportsbook for the most updated odds:

WATCH: Georgia Bulldogs Key Facts, Stats For 2021 College Football Season

The Georgia Bulldogs are in the preseason AP Top 10. How realistic of a shot does Georgia have for the national title? Here’s context.

The Georgia Bulldogs return eight starters on an offense that averaged 32.3 points. The defense has just four returnees, but Georgia is still pegged as a strong national title contender at +600. Can the Bulldogs generate enough turnovers (coach Kirby Smart’s calling card) to do it? Here are some facts to consider. Go to Tipico Sportsbook for the most updated odds:

Georgia at Florida odds, picks and best bets

Previewing Wednesday’s Georgia Bulldogs at Florida Gators betting odds and lines, with college basketball betting picks.

The Georgia Bulldogs (12-9, 2-6 SEC) and Florida Gators (13-8, 5-3) tangle at Exactech Arena at 7 p.m. ET Wednesday. We analyze the Georgia-Florida odds and betting lines, while providing college basketball betting tips and advice on this matchup.

Georgia at Florida: Three things you need to know

1. The Bulldogs slapped the brakes on a four-game skip with a 15-point win over Texas A&M last time out. While they have been losing fairly regularly lately, they are 3-1 ATS across the past four outings.

2. The Gators kept Vanderbilt’s conference losing skid intact with a 61-55 win in Nashville Saturday, but the Gators failed to cover for the third consecutive outing.

3. Florida F Kerry Blackshear Jr. leads the team with 14.0 points and 8.3 rebounds per game, and he is hitting his 3-pointers at a 31.7-percent clip across 21 outings. He is one of four players on the Gators roster averaging double-digit points.

Georgia at Florida: Odds, betting lines and picks

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated at 9:30 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Florida 76, Georgia 70

Moneyline (ML)

The Gators (-500) should win this one rather handily, but it’s not wise to risk five times the return on investment. The Bulldogs are +375.

Against the Spread (ATS)

The Gators (-9.5, -110) have been having some trouble against the spread lately, although they are getting it done in the win-loss column. As such, roll with GEORGIA (+9.5, -110) catching the points. Plus, the road team is 6-1 ATS in the previous seven meetings, which also is a trend that points to UGA.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 142 (-110) is worth a light, light play, as it might be a sweat shop all evening long. If this game goes Over, it likely won’t be until the final minute. The Over is 4-1 in UGA’s past five against teams with a winning percentage over .600, 12-4 in Florida’s past 16 overall, and 8-2 in Florida’s past 10 after a straight-up win.

Georgia at LSU odds, picks and best bets: Tigers favored in SEC title game

Previewing Saturday’s Georgia Bulldogs at LSU Tigers matchup, with NCAA football betting odds, picks and best bets for the SEC Championship.

The LSU Tigers (12-0) will try to keep their perfect season alive in Saturday’s SEC Championship game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. They’re taking on the Georgia Bulldogs (11-1), who hope to remain in the College Football Playoff. Kickoff is set for 4 p.m. ET. We analyze the Georgia-LSU odds and betting lines, while providing college football betting tips and advice on this matchup.

Georgia at LSU: Three things you need to know

1. Georgia RB D’Andre Swift (shoulder) is probable to play Saturday with head coach Kirby Smart indicating the injury isn’t overly serious. WR Lawrence Cager is out for this one after undergoing surgery on his ankle last week.

2. LSU and Georgia have split their last 10 games against each other. LSU is 6-3-1 against the spread in those 10 games, though it has been outscored by an average of 28 points to 26.

3. The Tigers have the nation’s second-ranked offense, but it’ll be going up against the No. 2 defense in the country. Georgia allows just 10.4 points per game.

Georgia at LSU: Odds, betting lines and picks

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Wednesday at 6 p.m. ET.

Prediction

LSU 30, Georgia 27

Moneyline (ML)

LSU is 8-0 in its last eight games against the SEC. The Tigers won their only neutral-site game this season, while Georgia has won both of its games on neutral sites. The Tigers still come in as the better team with their 12-game winning streak.

Bet the TIGERS (-270) to win straight up Saturday in Atlanta, even if it is somewhat of a home game for Georgia.

New to sports betting? A $10 wager on LSU to win outright returns a profit of $3.70.

Against the Spread (ATS)

The Tigers have gone 4-1 ATS in their last five neutral-site games, but Georgia is 5-0 ATS in its last five games as an underdog. The spread is 7.5 points in favor of LSU, which is a fairly large number for this matchup.

The Bulldogs should be able to keep it close, covering the spread in four of their last five games this year. Bet GEORGIA (+7.5, -120) to cover.

Over/Under (O/U)

The Over/Under is 54.5 points. The Tigers rank second in the nation in scoring, but this Georgia defense is no joke. The Bulldogs haven’t faced an offense like LSU’s, though, and will be tested.

The Over has hit in three of LSU’s last four games and 10 of its last 14 games played on Saturday. Bet the OVER 54.5 (-106), thanks to LSU’s explosive, pass-happy offense.

Georgia at Georgia Tech odds, picks and best bets

Previewing Saturday’s Georgia Bulldogs at Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets college football matchup, with NCAA football betting odds, picks and best bets

The Georgia Bulldogs (10-1) and Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (3-8) renew their Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate rivalry which dates to 1893. The ‘Dogs and Jackets will meet Saturday at Bobby Dodd Stadium in Atlanta at noon ET. We analyze the Georgia-Georgia Tech odds and betting lines, while providing college football betting tips and advice on this matchup.

Georgia enters the contest ranked No. 4 in the Amway Coaches Poll powered by USA Today Sports. It’s also No. 4 in the College Football Playoff Rankings.

Georgia at Georgia Tech: Three things you need to know

1. The Georgia run defense has yielded three 100-yard games this season. Those aren’t individual player efforts allowed, mind you. They are single-game, team rushing yards … more than 100 just THREE times. And even then, on two of those occasions (Vanderbilt Aug. 31 and South Carolina Oct. 12), UGA held foes to under 4.0 YPC. Through 11 games, the Bulldogs have allowed one rushing touchdown.

2. In four road games this season, Georgia QB Jake Fromm has completed 66% of his passes (eight for TDs against no interceptions) for 208 YPG. He’s been a solid complement to a UGA run game, which has averaged 5.3 YOC away from Athens. It has all led to a 4-0 ATS mark on the road (the Bulldogs are 9-2 ATS over their last 11 road tilts.

3. All three of Georgia Tech’s victories this season have been by one score. That includes last week’s 28-26 win over North Carolina State in which the Yellow Jackets garnered many a hidden yard in special teams and turnover exchanges.

Georgia at Georgia Tech: Odds, betting lines and picks

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Thursday at 1:20 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Georgia 41, Georgia Tech 3

Moneyline (ML)

Will PASS on the lofty Georgia -5000 moneyline price.

New to sports betting? A $10 wager on Georgia returns a profit of $0.20 if the Bulldogs win.

Against the Spread (ATS)

The Bulldogs were a -4 in turnover margin when they were upset by South Carolina Oct. 12. Since then, UGA hasn’t managed more than one takeaway in any game, nor have the Bulldogs had even a single giveway. Depending on the foe, that’s amounted to five straight boat races with cushions of one, two or three scores. Expect more of the same here, only in a contest with four-score differential. Plus a tad more as Georgia ices away an SEC East title and makes a recruiting pitch to some in-state prospects.

Taking GEORGIA -28.5, +100.

Over/Under (O/U)

The O/U is 46.5 (-110, -110), a fair price that draws no action here.

Texas A&M at Georgia odds, picks and best bets

Previewing Saturday’s Texas A&M Aggies at Georgia Bulldogs betting odds and lines, with college football analysis, picks and best bets.

The Texas A&M Aggies (7-3, 4-2 SEC West) and Georgia Bulldogs (9-1, 6-1 SEC East) square off between the hedges at Sanford Stadium in Athens, Ga. at 3:30 p.m. ET Saturday. We analyze the Texas A&M-Georgia odds and betting lines, while providing college football betting tips and advice on this matchup.

Texas A&M at Georgia: Three things you need to know

1. The Aggies rank a respectable 25th in total defense, allowing 327.9 yards per game, and they’re 23rd in points allowed (20.3 PPG).

2. Georgia RB D’Andre Swift has rolled up 1,027 rushing yards and eight total touchdowns.

3. The Bulldogs rank sixth in total yards allowed (267.5), third in rushing yards allowed (75.8) and second in the nation with just 10.5 PPG allowed.

Texas A&M at Georgia: Odds, betting lines and picks

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Thursday at 6:45 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Georgia 31, Texas A&M 14

Moneyline (ML)

Georgia (-556) looks to keep hope alive for a spot in the College Football Playoff, but it has no room for error. While the Bulldogs will win this game, risking more than five times the potential winnings is just not worth it. A&M (+395) isn’t going to pull the upset, so save the money.

New to sports betting? A $10 wager on Georgia to win would return a profit of $1.80.

Against the Spread (ATS)

GEORGIA (-13.5, -110) is an attractive play at less than two touchdowns. Even at a flat 14 the Dawgs aren’t a bad play if the line moves up by Saturday.

Texas A&M (+13.5, -110) has a decent passing attack, and they are 11-5 ATS in the past 16 against winning teams. However, UGA is 14-5 ATS in the past 19 against winning teams and 20-8 ATS in the past 28 SEC battles. Look for UGA to keep it rolling.

Over/Under (O/U)

PASS. The projected total of 45.5 is going to be super close. If I were to lean one way, I’d say Under (-139). The Under is 5-0 in UGA’s past five overall, and 26-9-2 in the past 37 in Athens. The Under is also 5-1 in A&M’s past six on the road. However, with big-time QBs like Jake Fromm, Kellen Mond and Swift, it could easily go Over, too.
