No. 2 Georgia at South Carolina (plus 7)

Georgia leads the series 44-14-2. Steve Spurrier is 12-3 against Georgia during his coaching career, but is 1-2 as South Carolina’s head coach.

After two games Georgia’s Knowshon Moreno has amassed 227 yards and six touchdowns. Even more impressive is that he is gaining 8.7 yards per carry. Moreno could jump to the forefront of the Heisman race with a strong showing against the Gamecocks. South Carolina has never defeated a team ranked first or second in the nation. That streak should continue.

Georgia 20, South Carolina 14
