Why Georgia can cover
The Bulldogs have already defeated their first two opponents this season by 40 or more points, beating Tennessee-Martin 48-7 and Ball State 45-3. Quarterback Carson Beck has completed 72.1% of his passes for the season, while running backs Roderick Robinson II and Kendal Milton have split most of the carries.
South Carolina is the first Power Five team Georgia is facing this season, but the Bulldogs should be plenty confident at home since they haven't lost at Sanford Stadium since 2019. The Bulldogs have dominated this head-to-head matchup the past three years, winning by an average of 32.3 points, so this four-score spread feels manageable for UGA. See picks at SportsLine.
Why South Carolina can cover
While the Bulldogs are heavily-favored to win, the Gamecocks have a chance at keeping them from covering the spread. Quarterback Spencer Rattler came up big against Furman in Week 2 as he threw for 345 yards and scored three touchdowns. The key for the Gamecocks will be to keep Rattler from being sacked nine times like he was in Week 1 against North Carolina.
And though Georgia has been dominant the past three meetings, South Carolina was the last team to beat Georgia in Athens when the Gamecocks won 20-17 in overtime in 2019. The road team has also covered in the past six matchups between these teams. See picks at SportsLine.
