Did not see this one. Good read.

Georgia at South Carolina (-2 ½), Over/Under 57
Saturday 10/6 7pm ESPN
So let's see, should I take the team that's proven to be strong against the number at home, or the team that's been strong against the number on the road? How about that over/under? It's not like the point total between these two teams fluctuates every season or anything.
VERDICT: This one is tough for the reasons I listed above, and a couple others.
First of all, these are two very good teams, and odds are this game is going to come down to a mistake or two. In the end, though, I have to go with South Carolina -2 ½. The reasons for this are simple. First of all, with a spread this small in a game this hard to call, I tend to lean toward the home team naturally. Second of all, while Georgia's been good on the road, historically it hasn't performed well as a road underdog under Richt. Finally, South Carolina is 4-1 against the spread this season while Georgia is 2-3. So I'm just playing the odds here.
