Bulldogs big favorites

Georgia will ‘welcome’ Florida as the teams meet in Jacksonville this Saturday. The Bulldogs enter the game as big odds on favorites in the betting market. The sportsbooks make them 22.5 point favorites on the spread while setting the total points line at 56.5.

They undefeated Bulldogs come in as the number one ranked team in college football. They come in fresh off a bye after smashing Vanderbilt 55-0 in week seven.

The Gators also come in fresh. They went into the bye after a disappointing loss to LSU and will be keen to show they are made of sterner stuff.

How will this game be decided?

This matchup has all sorts of problems written over it for the Gators. Their defense struggles to stop anything, be it rushing or passing. Unfortunately, for them, the Bulldogs can do both and will likely punish that D on Saturday.

Florida is giving up 4.9 yards per carry on the ground. That is bad enough to be ranked 115th out of 131 teams in college football. Georgia average 5.8 yards per carry and are among the top five in the country in the metric.

All in all, not ideal for Florida. But it’s not done yet. Florida also ranks 93rd in NCAAF for passing yards allowed per game. Georgia is 8th in the college football for passing yards per game on offense.

The fear here is that this one could get ugly early as whatever the Bulldogs do, it will work well.

Georgia is a bit banged up but it is still likely Florida will struggle to move the ball on them on Saturday. Quarterback Anthony Richardson likes to use his legs, but it is tough to run on this Georgia D.

There is not much optimism from us for Florida in this one. It could be ugly.
