Looking at the history of that rivalry which goes all the way back to 1894 Georgia has defeated South Carolina by 32 or more 6 times out of 73 games, but it's only happened twice in the past 60 years even though Georgia has dominated the series. History would seem to favor taking South Carolina +32.
I fully agree. After this past weekend, it would seem that South Carolina is due a bounce back while UGA is feeling a little high on themselves.

We’re settled in at 15.5 across all sports books followed by the Vegas Insider site (free).

O/U is at 54.5, which means the consensus of the betting public puts the final score at very roughly 35-20.

I don’t bet much, but that seems like a lot of points to give Florida on their home field.

Also, another site I access on occasion shows that 15.5 point favorites win the game roughly 83% - 85% of the time.

Note: That’s win the game, not necessarily cover the spread.

Hate to say it but UGA looks good. If I were a betting man I'd go with the dawgs minus the points to cover vs the gamecocks. But I also expect us to cover against the gators so what do I know...
They looked good last year till our game. They don’t have a dynamic QB no matter how good their D is. It’s 2009 Bama vs 2021 Bama.

I don’t know what to say about the Gators so far this season. The backup seems pretty good, but the competition has been way subpar. This isn’t just a step up in competition this weeken, it’s a jump to the moon for them. As for their defense, I don’t see them stopping us if the OL is up to task.

Yes. Georgia was a 2-1/2 Point favorite. Final 38-10 Bama. DH with 148 yards rushing.
And we were a favorite in a bunch of seasons before UGA in '15. We have been a dog that one time since 2010 I think. I would say 2009 but I believe FLA was favored in the SEC championship game.

It would, but I think UAB is better than Carolina, so I would leave it alone.

Yes, Florida was a 5-1/2 point favorite in 2009. They were a 10 point favorite in 2008 and covered.
