South Carolina is coming into this game as a 6 point favorite with the current betting odds according to Draftkings Sportsbook. South Carolina has been playing much better than Georgetown has been in their recent games. South Carolina is coming off of a bad loss in their last game which snapped their winning streak and they will be looking to bounce back in this game. South Carolina is an undefeated 4-0 at home this season and they are getting a Georgetown team that is playing their first true road game of the season here. This is not the team they want to play their first road game against and it is not going to turn out well for them. The best bet to place in this game is on South Carolina to cover the spread here.
