Matchup predictor: Georgia has a 63.7% chance to win, according to ESPN’s Football Power Index.
Series history: Currently the Bulldogs lead the overall series 53-43-2 over Florida.
Georgia has won the last three, with the last Florida victory coming in 2016.
Prediction: People will tell you that Georgia is down right now, saying that the Bulldogs are riddled with injuries on defense, struggling to find consistency on offense and coming off of a lackluster performance at Kentucky.
The reality is, Georgia has 16 5-star recruits on the team – the most in the country – and returned 90% of defensive production from an elite 2019 defense.
Yes, we will miss star safety Richard LeCounte, but do not expect the Bulldogs to miss a beat with guys like Eric Stokes, Tyson Campbell and Monty Rice – all very experienced guys we will see on Sundays next year.
Georgia coach Kirby Smart is a perfect 3-0 vs. Florida coach Dan Mullen and I don’t expect that winning streak to end on Saturday. Georgia’s offense finds balance and the defense holds, Bulldogs win 31-23
