Florida Snapped Two-Game Skid Last Time Out
Florida head to Atlanta having snapped a two-game losing sequence to improve to 5-2 last time out.
The Gators opened with a couple of convincing non-conference wins, as they blew out Florida Atlantic 66-21 and Campbell 52-3.
They kicked off their SEC slate with a 44-39 victory at Auburn, and backed that up a week later as they upset Ole Miss at home, 52-28.
However, Florida’s perfect start was brought to a shuddering halt by a 45-17 loss at Missouri, and they then fell 38-19 when they played host to South Carolina.
The Gators avoided a third straight loss though, as they travelled to Texas to upset the Longhorns, 27-24.
Georgia Saw Perfect Start End Against Auburn
Georgia come into this matchup looking to deliver an immediate response to the shock loss to Auburn.
The Bulldogs also opened with a couple of blowout wins against non-conference opposition, beating Tennessee State 63-3 and Western Kentucky 70-20.
They then began their SEC schedule with four consecutive victories, starting with a 45-17 success at Arkansas.
Georgia then returned home to beat Oklahoma 41-13 and Vanderbilt 38-14, before heading to Alabama to down the Crimson Tide, 20-17.
However, a 7-0 start eluded the Bulldogs, as a walk-off field goal condemned them to a 27-24 home defeat to Auburn.
Verdict
Georgia were left stunned by that loss to Auburn, and the pressure is now on them to get back on track quickly.
Florida have knocked off a couple of top-10 teams this season, but their biggest offensive strength plays into the Bulldogs’ biggest defensive strength, so we are leaning towards a cover for the home team.
