Georgia Bulldogs vs. Florida State Seminoles Betting Preview
In the quest for a season-ending triumph following their setback in the SEC title game, Head Coach Kirby Smart and the Georgia Bulldogs are looking to go out with a bang. Quarterback Carson Beck, who threw for 3,700 passing yards and 22 touchdowns, is set to take the field for this game after announcing his decision to continue with Georgia.
While the status of top receiver Brock Bowers remains uncertain for the game—having participated in bowl practices but preparing for the NFL Draft—Dominic Lovett has demonstrated his prowess for the Bulldogs with over 570 receiving yards. Known for their formidable running game, the Bulldogs witnessed Daijun Edwards scoring 11 touchdowns on the ground, contributing to their remarkable team average of 38.4 points per game in 2023.
The Florida State Seminoles underwent significant changes, particularly with the injury of quarterback Jordan Travis, impacting their college football playoff prospects. Despite securing a victory in their bowl game while allowing just six points, the absence of Travis resulted in a decline in Florida State’s offensive production to 15 points per game.
In this game, Tate Rodemaker, the backup for Travis, will be absent as he plans to transfer. Taking his place, Brock Glenn is expected to assume the starting quarterback role, having thrown only 25 passes throughout the season. Also, the Seminoles will be without standout receiver Keon Coleman, who recorded 11 touchdowns, and Johnny Wilson, both opting to declare for the NFL Draft.
Georgia Bulldogs vs. Florida State Seminoles Betting Prediction
Kirby Smart and his Georgia Bulldogs are deep. If there is a team that can withstand guys missing the game and heading into the NFL Draft is the Georgia Bulldogs. Sure, Florida State would love to finish the season with an unbeaten record, it is not going to happen. Once the game starts getting away from the Seminoles, we expect a landslide.
When we go to bet on this game, we have our eyes set on the Georgia Bulldogs. Despite the large spread, we are taking the Bulldogs. Bet Georgia -16.5 in this one. Enjoy the game and good luck with all your college football picks! We hope you enjoyed our Georgia vs. Florida State betting analysis!
