Best Bet for Georgia vs Florida: Take the ‘Dawgs to Cover

The Georgia Bulldogs appear to have found their groove, with a dominant 30-15 win last week against the Texas Longhorns. Going into the game, Texas was the top-ranked team in the country per the AP Poll. Georgia dominated them.

Florida is also coming off arguably their most impressive victory of the season. They beat the Kentucky Wildcats 48 to 20 in DJ Lagway’s first career start.

Even with that strong showing last week for the Gators, Georgia to win big and cover as 14.5-point favorites is the best bet.

A few historical reasons why Georgia will cover the spread versus Florida include:

• Georgia has beaten Florida by at least 22 points in their last three meetings.
• Georgia has beaten Florida by at least 19 points in five of the eight years that Kirby Smart has been the Bulldogs head coach.

There are also factors that support taking Georgia at legal sports betting sites that are difficult to identify by trends:

• Georgia may have unlocked their defensive line against Texas. They sacked the Longhorns’ quarterbacks seven times in the game, despite speculation that multiple offensive linemen for Texas will be high NFL Draft picks.
• Florida quarterback DJ Lagway will be making just his third career start, and his first not at home. Going against a defensive guru like Kirby Smart outside of the confines of Ben Hill Griffin Stadium is a difficult situation for a true freshman quarterback.

Where Is The Best Site To Bet On Georgia To Cover vs Florida

There are many college football betting sites with odds for the Gators versus Bulldogs, but Bovada stands out for players in both states as the best option for users looking to bet on the Kirby Smart-led ‘Dawgs to cover.

Bovada specifically stands out when compared to Hard Rock Sportsbook, which is only available in Florida.

Bovada vs Hard Rock Sportsbook Georgia Spread

Sportsbook	Spread	Odds
Bovada	-14.5	-105
Hard Rock Sportsbook	-15.0	-110

As shown above, Georgia would have to cover a larger spread at Hard Rock than at Bovada. People who bet on that larger spread would still be paid out with less favorable -110 odds at Hard Rock than they would have at Bovada (-105).

Even if Bovada’s odds were to change, that half-point spread difference at Florida sports betting sites is key.

An example of how important the half-point difference in spreads can be found easily. Just last week, Georgia beat Texas 30 to 15. Georgia would have covered if the spread was -14.5, but not if it was -15.0.
