Georgia Vs South Carolina By The Numbers: What The Trends Tell Us

The No. 1 ranked Georgia Bulldogs are set to take their first road trip to Columbia, South Carolina to take on the Gamecocks. Here's what the betting trends are telling us.
In this story:

The No. 1 ranked Georgia Bulldogs are currently 29.6 points better than every opponent on their schedule according to the Football Power Index. That includes this week's opponent, the South Carolina Gamecocks. 

Georgia's recent history with the Gamecocks would indicate that this massive talent advantage in favor of the Bulldogs is nothing new. In the last two seasons, Georgia has won by an average of 28 points against the Gamecocks. 

Though, the last time Georgia lost a regular season football game in which they were at least 17-point favorites was that fateful 2019 October Saturday in which Jake Fromm threw two interceptions, one returned for a touchdown, and Georgia lost to South Carolina 20 to 17 at home. 

So, what do the betting trends tell us about a game that is expected, per the point spread, to be a rather large blowout?
