Point Spread: -10.00 | -110.00 Georgia (Away)
Result: Win
The set-up: Georgia has won three straight in this series and I think the Bulldogs are going to once again pull away big on Saturday afternoon.
The teams: Georgia opened the season with a 45-0 win over FCS Austin Peay. QB Jake Fromm was 12 of 16 for 157 yards and two TD's. Fromm only played half the game before making room for his backups. In all Georgia would post 508 yards of offense and nine different players had at least one carry, while another 11 had at least one caught pass. The defense was a strength last year and while the Week 1 win can't be considered a true test, the unit still looked sharp in allowing just 152 yards of total offense to the Governors.
The Gamecocks were held to under 20 points in four of their eight SEC games last year. In Week 1 South Carolina looked pretty good though in its 49-15 thrashing of Coastal Carolina. Jake Bentley was 22 of 29 for 250 yards and four TD's, while RB Rico Dowle had 105 yards on 15 carries.
The pick: Fromm had 196 yards and two TD's in last year's 24-10 win over South Carolina, while the defense had two INT's. Bentley was 21 of 35 for 227 yards, a TD and two INT's in the loss. the Gamecocks' only victory in 12 road games against Top 5 teams dating back to the mid 90's occurred on October 26th, 2013. I think the Bulldogs' smothering defense proves to be too much for South Carolina in the end. Lay the points.
