Week 9 of the 2022 NCAA college football season includes an SEC showdown between the Florida Gators and No. 1 Georgia Bulldogs. The Gators failed to extend their winning streak to three games in a 45-35 loss to the LSU Tigers on October 15. Running back Montrell Johnson scored 2 touchdowns.
Meanwhile, Georgia has ripped off two dominant wins after surviving a scare against Missouri in Week 5. The Bulldogs took care of business with a 55-0 drubbing of Vanderbilt their last time out (Oct. 15). Quarterback Stetson Bennett racked up 289 passing yards and 3 touchdow ns in that one.

Florida vs Georgia Prediction & Pick
The Bulldogs have to be careful on Saturday. They cannot afford to overlook a talented Gators squad with a matchup against the No. 3 Tennessee Volunteers up next in Week 10. Florida Quarterback Anthony Richardson can pull off an upset using his dual-threat capabilities to carve up a defense.
Head coach Kirby Smart will have his players prepared, though. Georgia has only lost to Florida once in the last five head-to-head meetings and is averaging a ridiculous 43.2 points per game in 2022 (No. 3 in FBS). On the other side, the Gators are allowing a whopping 30.0 points per game (No. 80 in FBS).
Final Score Prediction:'Florida: 17 | Georgia: 42

Florida vs Georgia Best Bet
These are two great offenses, but the under has hit in eight of Georgia's last nine games. It makes avoiding the total altogether a smart move here. Trusting the Bulldogs to emerge victorious in a rout is the best bet. After all, Georgia's average winning margin is an insane 32.5 points (No. 2 in FBS).
Not only is Georgia 6-3 against the spread (ATS) in its last nine games, but Florida is 3-11 ATS in its last 14 games. These are two teams heading in opposite directions and that will prove to be true on Saturday. This game finished with a score of 34-7 in 2021 and I expect a similar result this time around.
