The hype of J.T. Daniels' debut has pushed this line way too high. Remember, this is still a Georgia offense that is just average in the SEC; the Dawgs shouldn't be three touchdown favorites over anyone, even South Carolina. My model says the Gamecocks cover 60 percent of the time, so you're getting strong value at this number.
One could make the case that 49 should be Georgia’s total alone. Prior to its last game, South Carolina yielded 52, 48 and 59 points. Its dilapidated secondary features a true freshman. Georgia QB J.T. Daniels was razor-sharp in his Dawgs debut last Saturday and figures to improve. The Gamecocks need to contribute a few points for this this figure to be hurdled. Interim boss Mike Bobo, a former QB and an offensive-oriented coach, should devise a game plan to produce a couple of scores.
Georgia's defense has been pretty rough since the loss to Florida, and its offense suddenly looks like a force now that quarterback JT Daniels has emerged as the starter. What’s more, South Carolina interim coach Mike Bobo is a former Georgia star quarterback and offensive coordinator who would love nothing more than to pull out all of the stops to threaten his alma mater. This will get into the 60s.
