Georgia football vs. Florida final odds and a prediction

No. 2 Georgia and Florida are set to do battle Saturday afternoon at EverBank Stadium in Jacksonville, FL. Georgia football is looking to respond after a solid 30-15 win at No. 1 Texas their last time out as they look to continue their pursuit of an SEC and national championship.

This is also the final stretch for Georgia in their conference slate as they only have three games remaining including this date with Florida. Georgia still needs some help just to make it to the SEC championship game, but that is why this win is extremely important because one more loss and they likely won't make it to Atlanta.

Georgia is the clear favorite in this rivalry matchup, but by how much?

Georgia vs. Florida Prediction

This spread has seen some very interesting movement throughout the week. On some sportsbooks, Georgia opened as an 18.5 point favorite, but everyone felt like that line favored Georgia a little too much. That's why this spread has shrunk four points all the way down to 14.5 which feels a lot more accurate.

But anything is possible in rivalry games. More often than not, it seems like the team that is the underdog plays a lot better than people expect and keeps it close which usually results in them covering the spread. 14.5 points is a lot, and with Florida playing a lot better recently there is a great chance that they are able to cover this spread as the underdog.

But Kirby Smart's squad is playing extremely well too.

It will be interesting to see if either team starts slow coming off their bye week. That may be the difference between Georgia covering this spread or Florida keeping it a lot closer than any UGA fan wants to see.

Georgia should have no issue winning this game, but 14.5 points is a lot and will be very difficult to cover. So we are predicting the Gators to cover this spread on Saturday, but it will be as close as possible.

Prediction: Georgia wins 31-17
