Florida vs Georgia Prediction
The Georgia Bulldogs are more than capable of blowing the doors off Florida given the gap in talent, but this is a lot of points for a rivalry game. Florida has found its form over the last month, covering 4 straight games and winning 3 of those contests, all three as underdogs. Georgia is 2-5 ATS on the season and has failed to cover its last 4 games as a double-digit favorite. I'll take my chances with the Gators and the free points.
