Predictions and Betting Preview for the Georgia Bulldogs vs South Carolina Gamecocks College Football Game on September 17, 2022
- Where: Williams-Brice Stadium – Columbia, South Carolina.
- When: Saturday, September 17, 2022, 12:00 PM ET
Betting on the Georgia Bulldogs
- Regular Season Record: 2-0
- Spread: -24.5.
- Moneyline: (-3333).
- Over/Under: 52.5.
After a crushing performance against Samford, the Bulldogs will play their first away game with the motivation to maintain their position as the top team in the nation.
With 459 total yards, Georgia’s offense showed no mercy against their Samford counterparts. The thrashing could have been worse, as after the first half, the game was 30-0. Quarterback Stetson Bennett starred by completing 75% of his passes and collecting 300 yards and a touchdown pass.
Defensively, the reigning national champions have allowed just three points in the first two games of the season, and Georgia has scored 85 points while conceding only 29 goals in the last two games between the two teams.
Betting on the South Carolina Gamecocks
- Regular Season Record: 1-1
- Spread: +24.5.
- Moneyline: (+1200).
- Over/Under: 52.5.
After a winning start to the season, the Gamecocks put up a fight against an Arkansas team that scored 23 points in the fourth quarter to secure the win and hand South Carolina a tough loss.
While they recorded 416 total yards on offense, including 376 from quarterback Spencer Rattler, they only managed 40 yards on the ground, and their strong suit, defense, was vastly outplayed as they allowed 462 yards to the Razorbacks.
This Saturday, in its second home game, South Carolina will have to fight hard if it wants to get back to winning ways against a Georgia team it has defeated in three of its last ten meetings. In this way, hope is not entirely lost.
JefeBet Prediction
The Bulldogs’ defense has been unbreakable, but with the Gamecocks playing at home, they could hurt them a little more, but not enough to beat them due to their poor ground offense.
Georgia has a dream offense. They have 82 points in two games attacking at half speed; for its part, South Carolina’s defense has not been in tune in their first few games.
Prediction: Over.
