Florida has been inconsistent this year, while Georgia is arguably the best college football team. It is time to continue our college football odds series with a Florida-Georgia prediction and pick.
Florida has been inconsistent and has struggled at times this year. They just blew out Kentucky to get to 4-3. They have won three out of their last four games, but their upcoming schedule is very hard. They have losses against Miami, Texas A&M, and Tennessee. They look better than earlier in the season, but Georgia is a massive challenge.
After losing to Alabama, Georgia faced a few questions this season, but they have looked dominant since. They have won three straight since that loss to Alabama, including a dominant performance against Texas. They have so much talent and are the best team in the country on paper. This is an interesting game because it is at a neutral site.

Florida's defense has been one of the worst in the SEC, allowing 370.9 yards and 23.6 points per game.
