uga/sc

[mmike032]

Whats everyone got on the UGA/SC game? This is my first time trying books and the reason being when I saw the spread for this game. Of course UGA has been known not to show up for some games so we'll see. Although I did place some other bets.
Tell me what you think for a newbie
UGA-8
USC-10
Kansas-4.5, over 51
Vanderbilt -8 1/2
Washington ST under 50
Penn ST -28
GT +6 1/2
Clemson -18
Auburn -10
Iowa ST +13

The SEC is a different ball game! When two teams thats rivals meet up in the SEC it's always a close battle! These two teams will grind it out on good defense! SC has a good enough defense to contain Georgia who in my mind will loose 2 to 3 ball games this year!

[ZBOIZ]

Also watdch your Auburn Pick!

[big joe 1212]

I love Georgia here!
I dont think SC is any good!
Georgia is my best bet of the week!

[big joe 1212]

Of course I loaded them at -7, earlier this week.
Also have many teasers at -.5

While I hate to go against Pags, and I know South Carolina matches up well with Georgia, and I know all these games have been close in recent years...I just don't think the Gamecocks have enough playmakers on offense to cover this number unless they get lights-out defense and special teams play.

The QB situation at South Carolina is a royal mess. Beecher, Smelley, Garcia...If you've got three QB's, you don't have ANY QB's. Beecher played poorly against NC State. Smelley played poorly against Vandy. I don't think Garcia is going to come into this first college game and light it up against a team as good as Georgia.

McKinley is most probably out taking away the Gamecocks only legit offensive big play guy. Davis is a good back, but he isn't going to take it the house from 80 yards out. And I don't think you're going to beat UGA nickle and diming it to the tight end.

While South Carolina could cover this number (or even win outright) by winning the turnover battle, getting a couple of short field opportunities for the offense, getting a defensive touchdown or a special team touchdown or two... I think they could also get waxed like 31-10 if they get the same kind of QB play that has plagued them the first two weeks of the season.

Georgia D will be enough. Then Dawgs will wear them down late in game! SC will be exhausted!

georgia by 17

I have watched both of SCe games this season...the defense is outstanding, unfortunatley for them the QB situation stinks somthin awful, and continualy sticks a knife in the back of that defense.

And thats against the "vaunted" D of NC st and Vandy. IMO, the SC D tires by halftime and the UGA backs take over bigtime.

I like UGA by 14-17 in the 2nd half, and expect a near tie game at halftime.

[pavyracer]

Georgia wins by 3 TD's.

[big joe 1212]

Now I am worried. Everyone is on the Dawgs bandwagon. I feel better when everyone disagrees with me!

The problem is not the D for SC. They can't score enough points to cover +7.

[MJFtheGenius]

funny how much money is on Georgia but the line has not moved

very interesting

something to keep tabs on

Noted.

We'll see where they stand in a few games.

Those ttypes of states, especially when aided by the SCe QB's, after 2 games, dont exactly hold much weight.

But they might, I'm not that cocky, I just don't read much into that particular stat right now.

[Tigers1230]

I see where everyone is coming with this being a close game, yet I think Georgia pullas away late in the second half. I think Georgia wins by 10. I also see Auburn winning big tomorrow. I am praying after i win a few I can get it at -10. Auburn is a revenge game and I know a few of the Miss. St. players and they are very down. After their opener loss I think the moral has plumeted. I think Auburn gets pissed and makes up for their loss last year with a 20+ win tomorrow. HIT IT BIG!!!!

Your right its to early to tell especially since 4 picks came from the sc qb. I go to state and I think the d line is very impressive just the defense is very thin. The halftime under would be something to look at but in the end state d wont be able to hold down clemson 4 quarters. SC game was 0-3 at halftime. Other thing for clemson is they are starting 3 frosh on the oline.

[MonkeyF0cker]

Sharp money's on SC.

[mmike032]

I didnt expect everyone to be on GAs side. HEll I like it better when everyuones agaisnt GA.
UGA by 17 in this one.
SC has no answer for the offense of the Dawgs and SCs offense well, what offense

[crackerjack]

I don't like Auburn at all. Didn't they lose to Miss St last year at home? Can't remember

I do think Georgia runs away with this one. The reason SC is getting a lot of play is A) SEC rivalry B) the last 6 or so games have been decided by 6 or fewer points. SC is not a good team this year.

Yes they did...

[mmike032]

last years record means nothing in college football.

[teaserpleaser]

Sharp money's on SC.

SC usually plays Georgia tough but not this year to many Weapons for Georgia Im happy with my -6.5 If Chris Nickson from Vandy can pass on SC then so can Matt Stafford and Georgia. A lot of value being placed on the history of tight games in this series not this year. Georgia should win by 2 touchdowns at worst. Revenge game.. Bulldogs are going to make this ugly.

[mmike032]

History would make it seem that its gonna be a close game but from what I have seen of SC this year, I dont think so.
But of course UGA also has a history of not showing up for some games, usually its just a couple a year. This year they have looked like a BCS championship team but they havent played anyone yet so we will see.
IF they bring their A-game then its no contest. No team in the country can play with UGA this year when they're on. Nearly the whole starting team is 2nd and 3rd year players so it should be a good couple years for UGA fans.
GO DAWGS and beat the hell outta SC, I got the house ridin on it

[ryanXL977]

i see no reason to lay -7 on the road on a huge possible bouncback for sc

yes, i think uga wins and is miles better but so what
where is value laying a td on the road?

i much prefer byu or usc today

[jjgold]

Guy it does not matter who you pick, there is no such thing as a good or bad pick. Just hope the ball rolls your way.

[mmike032]

right now UGA is looking flat, they need a big play to get some momentum.
But SC hasnt showed anything yet either. Penalties been moving the ball for them though.

[teaserpleaser]

Georgia had better wake up.... This Vanilla offense is the best they could come up with for the SC D.

[mmike032]

I agree, more of the classic mark richt football. WTF, on the 3 yd line and run a QB keeper up the middle. Does he not know he has 1 of the best RBs in the country.
Somebody better wake the F up and go to the bread and butter. Penalties and dropped passes will not win a game in the SEC.

That is TERRIBLE advice.
