Let’s see which team is the one who takes the win on this Bulldogs at Gators betting preview.
The top-ranked Georgia Bulldogs will travel to TIAA Bank Field on Saturday afternoon to take on the Florida Gators in an SEC matchup. The Bulldogs are a perfect 7-0 (5-0) and are coming off a 30-13 home win over the 11th-ranked Kentucky Wildcats. Senior quarterback Stetson Bennett finished going incredibly well on 14-of-20 for 250 yards with three touchdowns. The Gators are 4-3 (2-3) and are coming off a 49-42 road loss against the LSU Tigers. Junior quarterback Emory Jones finished going 12-of-19 for 161 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions.
It’s Black and White
The Georgia Bulldogs have been running the ball extremely well this season through junior running back Zamir White. So far this year, he has 83 rushes for 400 yards (4.8 yards per carrying) with seven touchdowns and two catches for 28 yards (14 yards per reception) in his last game against the Kentucky Wildcats. White finished with 12 rushes for 46 yards (3.8 yards per run), a touchdown, and a 15-yard catch. If Zamir White can figure out how to run dominantly here, Georgia can wrap up the victory.
The Georgia Bulldogs have been incredibly defensively this season as they allow 6.6 points per game so far. In the previous game against the Kentucky Wildcats, they gave up 13 points on 243 total yards of offense (192 passing, 51 rushings). The Wildcats have been converting well as they went 9-of-19 on third down and picked up the first down on both fourth-down attempts. The Bulldogs dominated as they stopped the Wildcats from running as they averaged 1.9 rushing yards per carrying. If Georgia can continue dominating, it will remain the top-ranked program in the nation.
Coping with Copeland
The Florida Gators have been throwing the football extremely well as junior wide receiver Jacob Copeland has 23 receptions for 423 yards (18.4 yards per catch) with four receiving touchdowns this season. In his last game against the LSU Tigers, Copeland finished with a pair of receptions for 53 yards (26.5 yards per catch) with a touchdown. If he can continue to find the end zone, it will be an excellent sign for the Gators here.
The Florida Gators have been a good defensive team as well as they are giving up 21.1 points per game so far. The defenses did not show up last week against the LSU Tigers as the Gators allowed 49 points on 454 total yards of offense (133 passing, 321 rushings). They need to stop the running game as the Tigers averaged 7.1 rushing yards per attempt. If Florida can figure out how to scrap this defensive outing, they will be in a great spot here.
Who to Bet on Bulldogs at Gators
The difference is the defenses in this game, as the Georgia Bulldogs are giving up 5.8 points per game in their last four games while the Florida Gators are giving up 22.8 points per game. Florida will struggle to move the ball against the best defense in all of the Division-I College Football programs. Emory Jones will not run the ball well as Georgia is allowing 62.3 rushing yards per game. The Bulldogs are 5-2 against the spread this season, while the Gators are 3-4 against the spread so far. All in all, go with the Georgia Bulldogs as multiple touchdown favorites in this game on the road.
