Florida vs. Georgia picks and predictions
Prediction
Georgia 37, Florida 18
Moneyline
Georgia (-2000) will cost you 20 times your potential return, and there is never a reason to bet a favorite so heavy — especially in a rivalry game. You just never know.
PASS.
Against the spread
FLORIDA +22.5 (-108) is worth a look in this rivalry game.
The Gators are looking to avoid consecutive losses for the first time in the Billy Napier era. The offense hasn’t been the problem for UF, as it has scored 29 or more points in 5 of its 7 games to date, but the defense has coughed up 26 or more points in 5 outings, too.
Florida has actually been dusted for 436.9 total yards per game to rank 112th, and it is even worse with 192.6 rushing yards per outing to check in 115th. However, Georgia will still have a difficult time getting the cover as QB Anthony Richardson will make some big plays to keep Florida in it.
Over/Under
UNDER 56.5 (-110) is the lean here, ever so slightly.
The Under is 7-3-1 in the previous 11 meetings in this series. The Under is also 5-2 in the past 7 games for Florida against winning teams, too.
It’s all about the Under for the Georgia side, too. The Under is 7-1-1 in the previous 9 outings dating back to last season while going 6-1 in the past 7 neutral-site games and 4-1 in the past 5 SEC contests.
