Can Florida Pull Off Upset Over Georgia This Week?

The Florida Gators are coming into this current week with a record of 6-2 on the season, coming off a big win over the Texas Longhorns.

Florida's season has been a little odd, with the team getting out to a strong start, only to then drop two games in a row. But the Gators have taken down some of the better teams in the SEC this year, giving them some confidence entering this week.

The Gators will be facing off against the Georgia Bulldogs in Atlanta, giving this team a true challenge. Georgia comes into the game as the No. 3 team in the country, holding a record of 6-1 on the season.

But the Bulldogs did lose the last time that they played, dropping a game at home to the Auburn Tigers. However, this means that Georgia could be focused and ready for the Gators, with each side coming off a bye week.

Florida is going to have its hands full in this game, and there aren't many who have a lot of faith in the Gators to win. But this team has surprised before, and they've had plenty of time to prep for the Bulldogs.

Entering the game, college football analyst David Kenyon of Bleacher Report predicted how the matchup would go. In this, Kenyon has the Gators putting up a fight against Georgia, but the team falls short by a score of 31-23.

Florida has the talent to make this game very interesting, and they could pull off the upset. But Georgia is a different animal that the Gators have faced this season, and to win, the entire team will need to bring its A-game.

The Gators have been a poor team when it comes to penalties all season long, and if this were to take place against Georgia, it could be a long game. Florida is going to have to stay disciplined in the game, making sure to not beat themselves in the process.

One way to give themselves a better chance to win is for the running game to get back on track. Star running back Jadan Baugh has been a little quiet over the last few weeks, and this could be the perfect time for him to put together a strong showing.

Baugh had drawn some Heisman Trophy buzz earlier in the year, but he's slowed down of late for the Gators. Overall, Baugh has rushed for 763 yards and 13 touchdowns for the season.

Florida will put up a fight in this game, but whether it's enough to get the win remains to be seen. Kickoff for the contest is set for 12:30 p.m. PT/3:30 p.m. ET.
