00:03 >> Healthy and effective here.
00:05 That's one thing we're talking about the Georgia Bulldogs won't have with their
00:08 superstar young tight end in Brock, Mr. Brock.
00:10 Now if he doesn't play in this game, right?
00:12 Which he's not, he's gonna be sitting out four to six weeks here,
00:15 maybe gets back for the championship.
00:16 Let's take a look here at Georgia and Florida.
00:18 The world's largest outdoor cocktail party, sensational atmosphere, split 50/50
00:23 in tickets, seemingly now dominated by the Georgia Bulldogs.
00:26 They're 14 and a half point favorites in this football game, a total of 49 and
00:31 a half, both teams should be rested and ready for this duel.
00:35 The question is for us, do we think Georgia's gonna win?
00:37 Yeah, they're 14 and a half point favorites.
00:39 My question to you, Ben, is can the Florida Gators sneak inside that number
00:43 here and see what's gonna happen even Brock Bowers or no Brock Bowers?
00:46 I don't know if they could have stayed within that 14 and a half anyway.
00:49 >> Yeah, absolutely so, Donnie.
00:52 That is the question in this football game.
00:54 The world's largest outdoor cocktail party is going to go to Georgia.
00:58 I do not believe UF can pull off the outright upset tomorrow in Jacksonville.
01:04 But can they cover as north of a two touchdown underdog?
01:08 I believe they might be able to, but here is my concern.
01:11 Don, if you would have talked to me about the Gators team in the opening month and
01:14 a half of this year before the Kentucky game,
01:17 that was one of the top ten rushing defenses and total defenses in the country.
01:21 I would have said yes, Florida is going to cover as a two touchdown dog,
01:25 because they can stop the run.
01:27 And now that's what Georgia's offensive identity you would think has to be led by
01:32 a healthy Kendall Milton and De'Jawn Edwards.
01:35 But Florida has been getting gashed on the ground.
01:38 Of course, it was sweet baby Ray Davis in their loss in Kentucky.
01:42 They held on to come back last week against South Carolina, of course,
01:46 that led to Shane Beamer kicking something and breaking his foot.
01:51 But what does South Carolina, a team that normally airs it out,
01:54 what were they able to do against Florida?
01:56 Run it for 152 yards and Mario Anderson,
01:59 leading rusher for the Gamecocks last week at 98 yards.
02:02 I believe Georgia focuses on the ground, and
02:05 that's where I think Georgia is able to win this game comfortably.
02:09 Now, double digits might be comfortable, but it might not mean a cover.
02:13 The Bulldogs, a perfect seven and oh straight up, one and six against the spread.
02:17 Billy Napier, DRS, dating back to his four years as the head coach at Louisiana,
02:21 has been incredible covering numbers as an underdog.
02:24 That has carried over now into his year and a half in Gainesville.
02:28 Florida as a dog, six and three against the spread.
02:32 If I was picking a side, I think that hook could be tremendous to have Florida
02:36 staying within this number.
02:38 I do believe Georgia wins though in the cocktail party tomorrow.
