Georgia is reigning as the #1 team in the nation for the 19th successive week. The Bulldogs are #3 in the nation in total offense (509.4 yards per game) and #7 in the country in scoring offense (40.1 points per game).

The official CFP rankings won’t be released until October 31. However, the BCS rankings are showing the Bulldogs as the #3 team behind Michigan and Ohio State.
Georgia also dropped to #2 in the national championship betting line for the first time this season. Michigan is now the +225 chalk. The Bulldogs are given a betting line of -190 to make it in the CFP odds.
Gators Will Air It Out
The aerial show is what’s getting it done in The Swamp this season. Gators QB Graham Mertz is completing 76% of his passes. In Florida’s most recent win over South Carolina, he threw for 423 yards. He’s hit for 240+ yards through the air in five of seven games this season.

Georgia is 107th in the nation in sacks, getting to the QB just 12 times. The Bulldogs have also surrendered touchdowns on 73% of the other team’s ventures into the red zone. That’s 118th overall in the FBS.
Georgia vs Florida Prediction
If you’re a moneyline bettor, take the Bulldogs to win outright here all day long. Georgia hasn’t lost to an unranked Florida team since 2014. However, if you’re playing the spread, then the approach is dramatically different.
Even though the Gators haven’t won and covered at home against the Bulldogs since 2016, and haven’t won and covered facing Georgia as a betting underdog at home since 2003, it feels as if this is the year that latter stat changes. Georgia will win this game, but wager on Florida to be covering.
