Florida and Georgia are once again set to square off from Jacksonville Saturday. The Gators enter the contest having won three of their last four games while the Bulldogs are ranked No. 2 in the nation.
The fun storyline in this one is the transfer of RB Trevor Etienne, who is now Georgia’s leading rusher after two years in the Orange and Blue.
UGA has dominated the series of late winning six of the last seven, does that change on Saturday?
The following are our weekly predictions.
Brian Fox: This Florida football team has kind of grown up right in front of us the last few weeks. The defense has played much better than it had the first two games of the year and the offense looked explosive with DJ Lagway behind center against Kentucky. Georgia, however, will present a totally different challenge as they are well versed in all aspects of the game. I want to say something along the lines of, “I think this team can play a similar game to the one in Knoxville…”, but I just don’t see it right now. Maybe they can surprise us. UGA opened as an 18-point favorite but that line has moved to 14.5 per Bet ESPN. Georgia, 38-21.
Ryan Friedwald: This is the biggest test for Billy Napier and the Gators this season. A win here could solidify another year of Billy Napier as the head ball coach and make this Gators team nationally recognized. But, it’s still Georgia. Just like any rivalry, it could go either way, but realistically I think Georgia dominates again. Bulldogs, 42-24.
Florida and Georgia will kickoff from Everbank Stadium in Jacksonville at 3:30 PM (ET).
