My book: South Carolina: -1.5 ML: -265
Georgia: 1.5 ML: +225
I don't see a lot of lines this small with ML's that big. What do you guys think about this bet: $200 (risking $220)on South Carolina -1.5 to win $200(may buy it to -1), AND $200 on Georgia ML to win $450.
If South Carolina covers, I break even. If Georgia wins, I win $450 ($230 profit). If South Carolina wins by 1 point, I lose both bets ($420).
The gambler in me wants to take that chance that a 1 point South Carolina win won't happen. Odds are pretty good that will not happen.
What do you guys think? |

I just can't see a 1 point victory by SC. I mean it's completely possible, I just like the odds of a different win margin by either team. |

#7 Posted: 10/5/2012 6:59:44 PM Why I'm picking SC: Connor Shaw is the best unknown Qb in the nation. The guy can run that read option offense very good Aaron Murray has NEVER beat a ranked team. SC has a salty defense. Perhaps best defensive line in the SEC SC home field advantage. Night game, crowd will be loud and very rowdy. Full house over 81k Steve Spurrier is a better gameday coach than Mark Richt. Georgia starting a freshman opposite Jadeveon Clowney. Marcus Lattimore has gashed the Georgia defense the past two meetings. He runs harder in the 4th quarter.

I feel the exact opposite....Georgia is a much better and predictable team in this matchup. Good Luck with you picks but that ML looks Tasty! |
