South Carolina vs. Georgia Prediction
The Gamecocks will enter this game, representing a record of 1-1 on the young season. South Carolina beat Furman 47-21 last week after a Week 1 loss against North Carolina.
Spencer Rattler is the quarterback who leads the Gamecocks. Rattler, who is a former five-star recruit, came on strong at the back end of the 2022 season. Rattler has played outstanding football on the season.
Shane Beamer has done an outstanding job since taking over at South Carolina. Beamer believes this could be his most talented team since taking over.
Dakeron Joyner leads the team in rushing. Joyner is a hard-nosed runner that is tough to prepare for.
Senior Wide Receiver Xavier Legette is the Cocks' best offensive weapon. Legette has NFL potential and has looked outstanding in the first two games of the season. Legette has 15 catches for 296 yards and a touchdown.
The Cocks defense struggled in Week 1 against North Carolina, but they feel as if they are better than what they have shown in the first two games.
The Georgia Bulldogs are the best team in college football. The Bulldogs have won back-to-back National Championships, and they are the favorites to win their third consecutive this year.
Head Coach Kirby Smart has done great since taking over in 2016. Smart supports an overall record of 83-15 and is 8-1 in Bowl Games.
Georgia is 2-0, as they have beaten up on two bad teams to kick off the season. This will be the first test of the season for the team.
Carson Beck has looked good so far, but he still has not tapped into his full potential. Beck threw for 283 yards and two touchdowns in the win over Ball State last weekend.
Roderick Robinson and Kenall Milton will split the backfield duties this season. The two have rushed for 159 yards and three touchdowns.
Tight end Brock Bowsers is the most explosive offensive weapon that the Dogs have. Bowers will be a first-round pick this spring, making some NFL teams very happy. Bowers had twenty receiving touchdowns in his first two years at Georgia.
The defense is the strength of this team. Georgia has allowed just ten points in the season's first eight quarters.
Georgia is filled with future NFL players on defense. This team has churned out pros in the last few seasons and is set to have more this year. A few names to watch are cornerback Kamari Lassiter and defensive tackle Nazir Stackhouse.
South Carolina vs. Georgia Pick
South Carolina is a solid football team and will stay within this number.
Spencer Rattler has been in great form as of late, and in order to cover, all we will need here is 14-17 points.
South Carolina is good enough defensively to hold this Georgia team under 40 and make a big play or two.
Georgia will have to play a nearly perfect game to cover this number. The Bulldogs are 0-2 ATS this year.
