I'm about as careful as they come when it comes to predicting games ... one game at a time is the truth of the matter and you just can never tell.
But I do like SC's chances this weekend given all the factors to take into consideration.
SCAR now believes we are supposed to beat UGA every year. UGA has doubts.
The HBC has been very successful against UGA over the decades.
SCAR has had a couple of extra days to rest and prepare.
Clowney is going to be out and loaded for bear. Our entire DLine is going to be out to make a statement as a matter of fact - they are a very cohesive, determined, experienced bunch.
There are 25 Georgia HS players on the SC roster not the least of which are the likes of Shaw and Davis ... and they'll have their own personal motivations in this game.
There are seniors on this team who want to be the first to say they have never lost to Georgia in their SCAR playing years ... and some RJrs and Jrs who will be leaving early.
I believe the way UGA lost to the taters will do some degree of damage to the Dawg's psyche ... to their confidence. And they are going to realize early that they just jumped out of the frying pan and into the fire.
All factors that make me believe SCAR's chances are very good.
With that said, the Vegas people know their business and it worries me that they have UGA as a -5 fav. It's either bait, on a wicked hook, or they honestly believe UGA is just a better team than SCAR this year ... which doesn't quite make sense to me.

I'm more perplexed than worried. I understand home field advantage and that they went down to the wire with a top 10 team on the road but if you had asked me last night which team opens as a 5 point favorite I'd have said USC.
I'm expecting the spread to shrink some before kickoff on Saturday.
