Why Georgia can cover
Georgia has 13 consecutive road wins against SEC East opponents, and the Bulldogs enter the week at No. 1 in the country. Kirby Smart's team is 53-19-2 all-time against South Carolina, including a 6-1 mark in the last seven games. Georgia hasn't lost to South Carolina in Columbia since 2014, with the Gamecocks scoring 20 points or fewer in the last seven matchups. Georgia has dominated the competition to this point, throttling Oregon and blanking Samford last week in the ninth shutout of the Kirby Smart era.
The Bulldogs held Samford to 128 total yards and 19 yards on the ground, and Georgia thoroughly manhandled a talented Oregon team at a semi-neutral site in Atlanta. Georgia's defense is tremendous once again, but the Bulldogs are firing on offense as well, scoring on the first six drives in both games this season. Georgia is No. 1 among SEC teams in averaging 525 total yards per game this season, and the Bulldogs are averaging 41 points per game. The Bulldogs are lighting it up through the air with 395 passing yards per game, and Georgia is generating 9.9 yards per pass attempt with only one sack allowed.
Why South Carolina can cover
South Carolina brought in a lot of talent and experience at quarterback in the offseason. Spencer Rattler, a former five-star prospect, transferred from Oklahoma, where he threw for more than 4,500 yards and 40 touchdowns for the Sooners. Rattler has 603 passing yards in two games at South Carolina, averaging 7.9 yards per pass attempt this season.
On the outside, South Carolina has a standout in Antwane Wells Jr., who transferred from James Madison, and Wells caught eight passes for 189 yards and a touchdown against Arkansas. The Gamecocks are also playing frisky defense against the pass this season. South Carolina is allowing only 136.5 passing yards per game, No. 2 among SEC teams in 2022, and opponents are completing only 50% of their pass attempts against the Gamecocks. South Carolina is also holding the opposition to 5.5 yards per attempt through three games.
