College football odds: How to bet Georgia vs. Florida, point spread, more

Updated Oct. 30, 2021 3:33 p.m. ET

The No. 1 Georgia Bulldogs prepare for another SEC East showdown Saturday afternoon against the unranked Florida Gators.

Here's everything you need to know about the college football odds for Saturday's matchup between the Dawgs and the Gators — the point spread, moneyline, over/under and pick from our betting expert (with all college football odds via FOX Bet).

No. 1 GEORGIA BULLDOGS @ FLORIDA GATORS (3:30 p.m. ET Saturday, CBS)

Point spread: Georgia-14 (favored to win by more than 14 points, otherwise, Gators cover)
Moneyline: Georgia -667 favorite to win (bet $10 to win $11.50 total); Florida +475 underdog to win (bet $10 to win $57.50 total)
Total scoring over/under: 51 points scored by both teams combined

This series between bitter conference foes is played every year in the neutral location of Jacksonville, Fla., and coach Kirby Smart and his 7-0 Dawgs are this year's away team. But whether at home or away, it's the Silver Britches' suffocating defense that's earned them the top spot in the land. They give up only 6.6 points per game and that defense, just like their team's overall ranking, is first in the country.

Offense is not what comes to mind when we think about this year's Georgia team, especially because the quarterback who's been seeing the most action is fifth-year walk-on-turned-starter Stetson Bennett (although it's unclear if Bennett will start Saturday). However, their offense ranks No. 10 in the country, scoring an average of 38.4 points per game. Between Bennett's smart game managing, running back Zamir White's seven rushing touchdowns and wide receiver Ladd McConkey's 17.4 yards per reception, UGA's offense is getting the job done.

Coach Dan Mullen isn't having as much success in Gainesville as Smart is having in Athens, partly because Florida's wide receiving corps has underproduced. Except for WR Jacob Copeland, who has 23 catches this season, Florida's offense leaves much to be desired.

UF's defense isn't the worst in the country, but it's not that stellar either, giving up 21.2 points per game. In their shocking 49-42 loss to LSU, the Tigers crushed the Gators, rushing for 321 yards on 45 attempts. If defensive coordinator Todd Grantham can develop a less pedestrian game plan, the Gators might have a shot at stifling Georgia's scoring.

This year's rivalry game has huge implications for both teams. UGA needs to preserve its perfect record to stay on top of the standings and to contend for a College Football Playoff spot. The 4-3 team from the Swamp needs a win to stay in contention for even a regular, non-New Year's Six bowl game.

What's your wager for this year's party — Dawgs on top or the Gators chomp their way to a huge upset?

Let's see what the expert pick is for this game from Jason McIntyre.

FOX Sports' Analyst Jason McIntyre: "The Bulldogs let me down for the first time this season when they gave up a touchdown in the final seconds and did not cover against Kentucky, but I'm going back to the well here.

"The Gators are just too turnover-prone for me to back them in this spot. They've lost the turnover margin in every game this season and rank 98th in the country in protecting the ball (13 turnovers lost).

"There isn't enough alcohol at the world's largest cocktail party for me to back the Gators here.

"Take Georgia here, and don't look back."

PICK: Georgia (-14 at FOX Bet) to win by more than 14 points
