Georgia football is coming off their bye week and are set to take on the Florida Gators in Jacksonville, FL at EverBank Stadium. This will be the Bulldogs eighth game of the season and already their sixth in SEC play.

Georgia is sitting a 6-1 (4-1) after taking down No. 1 Texas last week 30-15 on the road. Kirby Smart and Georgia are looking to avoid a layover game and handle their business against Florida as they look to work towards SEC Chamionship game and College Football Playoff appearances.

Florida enters this game 4-3 (2-2) and are also entering this matchup off a bye week. Florida's last time out saw them defeat Kentucky at home 48-20 to inch them one game closer to making a bowl game.

Current Georgia vs. Florida odds

As of 5:00 am EST on Oct. 25, Georgia is an 18.5 point favorite against Florida according to FanDuel Sportsbook. The over-under is also currently set at 47.5 points

Georgia vs. Florida Prediction

The line movement in this game has already been very interesting as it opened on Thursday night with Georgia as a 20.5 favorite. So in a few short hours the public has already bet on Florida enough to cover the spread to move the line a whole two points in their favor.

But still, Georgia is the No. 2 team in the country and riding high after their win over Texas, so surely this should be a game they win by a comfortable margin. However, siding with the public on this one seems like the right choice to make.

Georgia will still win this game, but Florida has been a hot team recently, even after losing starting QB Graham Mertz to injury for the season. Florida's last two games saw them lose to Tennessee in overtime then destroy Kentucky 48-20. The Gators are also coming off a bye as well so that isn't an advantage for Georiga as they come of their bye.

18.5 points is still a big spread to cover. Georgia will still win comfortably, but Florida will be able to score some points to keep up with Georgia early which will give the over a good chance to hit as well.

Prediction: Georgia wins 31-20
