Florida vs Georgia Prediction
The current betting odds have Georgia listed as an 11.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Georgia has looked great in their games this season with their 6-1 record overall and their 4-1 conference record which has them right near the top of the SEC. They haven't played any neutral site games though and will be playing their 1st neutral site game of the season here. Meanwhile, Florida has looked good in their games this season with their 5-2 record overall and their 3-2 conference record which has them in the top half of the SEC. They are also playing their 1st neutral site game of the season here. Florida is coming off a 27-24 road win over Texas in their last one and they have really turned things around under their new head coach this season. They are coming out of their bye week now and have another opportunity to get a big win here, but this isn't a great situation for them. Georgia is also coming out of their bye week and will be prepared for this game. They lost their last game at home to Auburn 27-24 and haven't had a chance to play a game in 2 weeks since then, so they are still looking to bounce back from that 1st loss of the season. Georgia is still one of the most talented teams in the SEC and they have looked like one of the best teams in the nation at times. Florida has been having a great season, but even their 2 losses this year were both against lesser programs in the SEC and they didn't even look competitive in either game. They are still a really volatile team that was even getting blown out by Texas in their last one before coming back, so they are going to have a lot of trouble here trying to put together 4 full quarters against an angry Georgia team still looking to bounce back from their 1st loss. The best way to place a bet here is on Georgia to cover the spread in this game.

Notable Quotes
“We kept fighting. We didn’t do that the past couple of weeks, to be honest with you. When things got tough, we flinched the last couple weeks. Our team grew today ... because we fought.” - Jon Sumrall after his team’s win against Texas in their last game.
“We helped them. We had three turnovers and critical penalties. We had some really, really untimely, uncharacteristic and undisciplined penalties.” - Kirby Smart after his team’s loss against Auburn in their last game.
