Top Georgia vs. Florida predictions

After simulating Georgia vs. Florida 10,000 times, SportsLine model is going Under 56.5 points at betting apps. Both of these teams rank in the Top 10 in scoring, with the Bulldogs averaging 39.7 ppg, the Gators 37.5 ppg. Gunner Stockton leads the Bulldogs' offense (1,570 yards, 16 TDs). Florida's QB situation is cloudier, with Aaron Philo (shoulder) and Tramell Jones Jr. both practicing; coach Jon Sumrall has not named a starter. Running back Jadan Baugh (763 yards, 13 TDs) is the Gators' primary weapon in a ground game. 

Georgia's last four games lately have finished under this number. Only one Bulldogs opponent has scored more than 20 points. Florida's defense righted the ship vs. Texas, holding the Longhorns to 24 points after allowing 38 and 45 to South Carolina and Missouri, respectively. 

This time around, SportsLine's model is projecting 51 combined points, making the Under the value 61% of the time. See the model's spread and money-line picks at SportsLine.
