UGA vs. South Carolina Game Spread Week 3
The early spread on the Georgia-South Carolina game had the Bulldogs as a -23.5 favorite with Caesars Sportsbook at 25.1 shortly after 2 pm ET Sunday. The number opened at -21.5 at FanDuel.
Sagarin Week 3 power ratings had Georgia with a power rating at 94.39 (down from 95.28) and South Carolina at 76.72 (up from 74.13 despite the loss to Arkansas) for a number of 17.67 once home field advantage is added in. We're a bit surprised the Gamecocks power rating has been improved. We were now looking at as much as a 6-point overlay Sunday afternoon.
Georgia enjoyed a shutout 33-0 victory over Sanford in Week 2. That was a failed cover with the number set at -53. Prior to this victory, UGA enjoyed a 49-3 victory against an Oregon team that was supposed to be solid heading into 2022.
