The World Series betting line for Game 3 of the Fall Classic should be closer than the spread for Saturday's rivalry clash between No.1 Florida and Georgia the formerly-dubbed "World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party". However, it'll be the Bulldogs that will be hung over come Sunday morning.

 

 

The Bulldogs (4-3, 3-2) snapped a two-game skid with a 34-10 win at Vanderbilt two weeks ago, and the key was a struggling game that came to life. Although they're 108th in the nation on teh ground, Georgia ran for 173 yards against the Commodores, which allowed them to win the time-possession battle. Joe Cox was 16-of-31 for 226 yards, two touchdowns and a pick, while A.J. Green had 95 receiving yards and a score for the Bulldogs. Still, they'll need a better performance for an online betting upset over the Gators, who have won eight of their last 10 meetings with Georgia.

 

The Gators (7-0, 5-0) came away with a 29-19 win at Mississippi State, overcoming a pair of picks by Tim Tebow that were ran back for touchdowns. Tebow ran for 88 yards and a score, but he was only 12-of-22 through the air for 127 yards, and Florida's passing attack is being exposed this year with the graduations of Percy Harvin and Louis Harvin. It's a good thing they have the nation's No.1 defense, and they forced three turnovers out of Mississippi State. The defense has also been banged up by injuries, but they may have up to four returning starters back for Georgia.

 

The Gators are favored by 14.5 points in your sportsbook in this neutral-site affair (Jacksonville has been the site since 1933), and everyone remembers last year's revenge match, when Florida called two late timeouts in a 49-10 rout after the Bulldogs celebrated a little too much during their 42-30 win in 2007. This doesn't have the same allure as most years, but it's an important game for the Gators, who have looked suspect lately. The Bulldogs are 90th in pass defense, which is perfect for solving the Gators' aerial problems.
