Our Georgia vs Florida Pick
The combined PF/PA differential in our Georgia vs Florida pick gives the Bulldogs an advantage of plus-8.8. The Bulldog D is good at limiting yardage and points, but the Gator defense possesses superior stats. The Florida rush attack will have to get through one of the toughest ground D’s in college football. Still, they they cannot, the Gators have a solid passing game. The Florida rush defense must step up big time to stop what is a very powerful running game. If they can do so, they will control the game. Weighing everything, we are taking the Florida Gators at +6.5.
