Prediction
The Georgia Bulldogs are about three score favorites in this rivalry game and while they should win with ease, backing the Dawgs to cover is a risky play. Georgia has had some issues with putting teams away this season, most notably against Kentucky earlier this season when they won 13-12 and against Mississippi State when they won by just 10.
That being said, the Dawgs have recently been playing well in the first half of their games. Since the loss to Alabama, Georgia has led Auburn 14-3 at halftime, Mississippi State 27-10 at halftime, and then #1-ranked Texas 23-0 at halftime. Given this, and the fact that Florida has been inconsistent this entire season, backing Georgia to cover in the first half will be our best bet.
Final Pick
Georgia Bulldogs -9.5 First Half (-110)
