Florida Gators vs. Georgia Bulldogs Prediction

This matchup features Florida’s efficient shooting and elite defense against a Georgia team that plays at a high pace and has been dominant at home (11-3) in 2025. Florida’s ability to control tempo and generate high‑percentage looks gives them a path to victory. With that said, Georgia’s home‑court edge, scoring pace and recent offensive form make them difficult to fade in Athens. For the reasons just noted, I am backing the Georgia Bulldogs plus the 7.5 points in this game.

Hans Geevers's Pick: Georgia Bulldogs +7.5
