The 9th ranked Florida Gators come into the “World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party” rivalry game with a 6-1 overall record and 6-1 against the spread. The Gators have ripped off 5 straight wins and 5 straight spread covers their last 5 games. Florida last played on October 13th when they beat Vanderbilt 37-27 in Nashville, TN.
Florida head coach Dan Mullen has won over the hard to please Gators fan base so far in his first season as he is surpassing expectations. Mullen has the Gators playing superb football and has positioned the team to possibly win the SEC East Division if it can get past the Bulldogs this Saturday. Florida is now 4-1 in the SEC East Division after losing it’s first SEC game against Kentucky on September 8th.
The Gators are playing well balanced football so far this season. The offense is posting 408 yards per game and 6.2 yards per play including 197 yards rushing on 5.1 yards per carry. The defense has been outstanding as it’s giving up just 324.4 yards per game and 4.9 yards per play.
The 7th ranked Georgia Bulldogs enter this rivalry game with a 6-1 overall record and 3-4 against the spread. The Bulldogs are looking to get back on track after losing 36-16 on October 13th at LSU for their first loss of the season. Georgia is 4-1 in the SEC East Division so the winner of this Florida-Georgia game will have a leg up on the other in the loss column and with the tiebreaker.
Georgia head coach Kirby Smart was not happy with his team after getting shellacked two weeks ago in Baton Rouge. Smart was extra hard on his team in practice the last two weeks and his players know that they will need to bring their “A” game this week to get back in the win column and to keep Smart off their backsides.
The Bulldogs have been dominant on both sides of the ball outside of the LSU loss. Georgia’s offense posts 461.9 yards per game and 7.1 yards per play including 226.3 yards rushing on 5.8 yards per carry. The Bulldogs defense allows just 310.6 yards per game and 4.8 yards per play.
Georgia won the meeting last year in dominant fashion by a score of 42-7. However, Florida didn’t have Mullen as head coach and they weren’t close to as talented and good as they are this season. Having said that, Georgia is still the better team across the board and they will be extra hungry after losing their last game at LSU. Look for Georgia to play their best and pull out a double digit win.
#9 Florida @ #7 Georgia Free Pick and Score Prediction: Georgia to cover as a -7 point favorite.
