Why Georgia can cover
This Georgia squad is more explosive offensively than either of the previous title-winning teams as the Dawgs rank third in the nation with 509.4 yards per game. They also rank in the top 10 in the country in both passing yards per game and points per game. Georgia has offensive balance as it ran for a season-high of 291 yards in its last game, a win over Vanderbilt, which followed a season-high in passing with 435 yards through the air in a victory over Kentucky.
On defense, the Bulldogs have virtually no flaws. They boast top-10 national rankings in scoring defense, total defense, run defense and pass defense. Georgia has held its last two opponents to a combined 402 total yards, while Florida's defense isn't anywhere near as stout. The Gators gave up 465 yards in their last game, alone, to a South Carolina offense which ranks second-worst in the SEC in scoring. See picks at SportsLine.
Why Florida can cover
The Bulldogs may seem unbeatable on the field, but you can definitely get them versus the spread. Georgia has covered just once all season as it has a tendency to play to the level of its competition. The one ATS victory for the Bulldogs came in their one game versus a ranked opponent -- then-No. 20 Kentucky -- as the Dawgs have not covered against any unranked opponent, with Florida being unranked in each of the last four AP Top 25 polls.
Meanwhile, Florida is coming off back-to-back wins where it showed it can win in multiple ways. On Oct. 7, the Gators piled up 215 rushing yards on 7.2 yards per carry against Vanderbilt, and then a week later, Florida racked up 423 yards through the air along with three passing TDs against South Carolina. Billy Napier's squad has produced nearly 1,000 yards of total offense over the last two games, so the Gators enter in with plenty of momentum on that side of the ball. See picks at SportsLine.
