In this year's edition of the World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party, both defenses are far better than the offenses. Florida coach Jim McElwain admitted before the season that the defense was terrific but that the offense lacked quality skill position players. He's a fine coach and has gotten the most out of this limited offense and is down to his backup QB now that freshman QB Will Grier (10 TDs, three INTs) is out via suspension. New defensive coordinator Geoff Collins inherited great talent and the Gators are 5-2 UNDER the total at neutral sites. They run into a talented all-around Georgia team that has underachieved in a pair of defeats, but still has five wins and is in the running for another SEC East title, having won that crown two of the last four years. The Bulldogs have had top 10 recruiting classes in seven of the last nine years. Georgia comes off a 9-6 win over Missouri and the Bulldogs are 11-4 ATS after allowing fewer than 170 yards passing in their previous game. And with a talented all-around defense it's no wonder the Bulldogs are 4-1 UNDER the total after a victory and 5-0 UNDER against a team with a winning record. Florida hasn't been this close to winning the Eastern Division since 2012, when a 17-9 loss to Georgia left the Gators out of the championship game and this Georgia team has more than enough defense to win or cover in an anticipated low-scoring revenge game. Take Georgia and the UNDER.
