15* SEC GAME OF THE DAY on South Carolina -3.5

Georgia vs. South Carolina, 02/02/2013 13:30 EDT, Score: 67 - 56

Point Spread: -3½/-106 South Carolina

Sportsbook: Pinnacle

Result: Loss

The South Carolina Gamecocks should be a much heavier home favorite Saturday over the Georgia Bulldogs. I'll gladly take advantage by backing the Gamecocks as I fully expect them to run away with this one.

South Carolina comes in highly motivated for a win after losing three of its last four games, including an embarrassing 36-75 loss at Florida on Wednesday. Its lone win during this stretch came by a final of 75-54 at home over Arkansas, and I expect a similar blowout today.

While the Gamecocks are a solid 8-4 at home this season, the Bulldogs are a mere 1-6 on the road. Georgia is only scoring 54.4 points/game away from home this season, getting outscored by 11.3 points/game in the process.

The home team has won eight of the last 10 meetings in this series. The Bulldogs are 8-19 ATS in their last 27 games following a S.U. win. Georgia is 1-4 ATS in its last 5 road games. The Gamecocks are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games following a ATS loss. Bet South Carolina Saturday.
