Florida vs Georgia Prediction
The current betting odds have Florida listed as a 7.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Florida has looked really good in their games this season with their 17-6 record overall and their 8-2 conference record which has them right at the top of the SEC. They have been a good road team too with their 4-2 road record this year. Meanwhile, Georgia has looked good in their games this season with their 17-6 record overall, but their 5-5 conference record has them in the bottom half of the SEC. They have looked a lot better on their home court though with their 11-3 home record this season. Georgia looked great in the preseason, but they have had a lot of trouble with the SEC schedule this year. They are off a big road win over LSU in their last one, but they haven't looked good lately as they are 2-3 in their last 5 games. They have been beating up on bad teams in the SEC all season, but they have had a lot of trouble in the games where a stronger team actually challenged them. They have also been playing against a lot of the teams at the bottom of the SEC this year and haven't been able to compete against the top teams. Florida is 4-1 in their last 5 games and they have been rolling in their games lately with 3 wins in a row now. They have been crushing opponents in these games too, coming off a double digit win over Texas A&M who was leading the SEC. Florida is starting to look a lot more like the team that won the National Championship last season, and they already beat Georgia at home by 15 points before they found this extra gear that they have been playing at lately. The best way to place a bet here is on Florida to cover the spread in this game.

Notable Quotes
“The reality of it, this really wasn't much of a game. We came out and punched in the mouth early.” - Todd Golden after his team’s win against Texas A&M in their last game.
"We settled in defensively and probably played as good a 30 minutes collectively defensively as we played all year. That's what it takes to win on the road in this league. Really proud of the effort. A lot of carry over from practice. These guys worked hard and our attention to detail for the most part was pretty good." - Mike White after his team’s win against LSU in their last game.
