Florida vs. Georgia Prediction:
Take the under 52.5 in this matchup. The Gators will have freshman DJ Lagway starting for them with Graham Mertz out. If you take away the 3 touchdown passes against Samford, Lagway has just 2 touchdown passes to 5 interceptions on the season. Last week against Kentucky he was able to get away with some deep passes but Georgia is ranked 39th in opponent yards per completion allowing 11.1. Last week Texas averaged just 4.7 yards per pass attempt against this defense. Georgia also had 7 sacks. The defense seems to have woken up and Florida should struggle to move the ball. On the other side is Carson Beck. Since entering conference play, Beck has thrown 8 touchdown passes and 8 interceptions. The Bulldogs scored 30 against Texas last week but he still had 3 interceptions and no touchdown passes and the defense put them in some great scoring position. I think we will see a low scoring cocktail party on Saturday afternoon.
Florida vs. Georgia Prediction: Under 52.5
