Florida predictions thread

Perversely, despite Georgia suffering a 4 game losing streak and Florida currently on a 3 game skid, this game matters. If Florida wins, it puts them in the drivers seat for the east since they'll win it if they beat South Carolina. If Georgia wins, we still need a little help from Lady Luck but at least will have bragging rights and the mental wards around the sunshine state will have a few more visitors.

Both teams lost to teams that ended up being better than advertised and, save possibly Kentucky, neither one of us has a quality win yet. If these were any other two programs, I'd say Georgia has a slight edge. However, the Florida game being what it is, I have to give the nod to the Gators.

These pups aren't ready to win a game this big yet. Meyer is too good a coach to drop 4 in a row with the talent he has (knowing that at least a 5 loss season looms if he does as the Gators most assuredly will lose the finale to FSU) and they have the all important bye weekend before us. Add to the mix the mental problems all Dawgs teams dating back to the days of Spurrier have had in Jacksonville (Ron Zook era, anyone?), and we have all the makings of a John Brantley coming-out party. Demps, Rainey, and Moody are going to run all over us, and we are going to screw up on fundamentals big time.

It won't be the massacre the past two games have been, but it won't be an edge-of-your-seats nail-bitter either.

Florida 31 Georgia 20

Aaron Murray throw at least 2 picks and somebody (probably Ealey) fumbles at a most inopportune time. At least 2 Gator touchdowns will be the direct result of Georiga turnovers.

Would love to be proven wrong, of course!

As much as I hate to say it, I agree with your prediction 100% UGAChemDawg. Like you, I don't think these Dawgs (with exception of a small handful) do not have what it takes to win this game.

The Gators will eat our DBs with pass plays accross the middle all day long I'm affraid. And there will be one of those passes deep with no coverage to be found within 30 yards. That and the position UF Gators are in with 3 straight losses and a bye week, I think we're headed for another L.

Let's hope I'm wrong.

Why the Dawgs win !

Brantley is not a Tebow he can't run the spread- AM is a better QB
Charlie Strong and all his "D" gone
Mullens gone- no offense wiz
Like 07 we can run and pass.. our "O" line is better than UF "D" line -
long drives keeps UF on the sidelines.

And UM has never played a CTG defense- JH will live inside Brantley's jersey Saturday...

Time for the worm to turn.......Go Dawgs

Usually at this level, the team with the best QB wins.

We Win 27-24, The ODDs are in our favor this yr. Yes I am concerned with Demps and O.J.rainey coming back. But I think the turn overs will be in our favor this yr. Plus I think AM will get us those must have 1st downs when we will need um this time, He has guts and a Brain. GO DAWGS!!!

Why the Dogs win:

-Dog's "D" line manhandles the F Gators "O" line.
-Our "D" pressure just got started with Kentucky. Houston & Co. just got primed.
-Brantley is no Hartline. He won't have the accuracy or poise under such pressure to find the open crossing routes over the middle & won't have enough time to hit the broken coverage downfield. (We might give one or two of those up again. UGGHH!)
-It's going to be all about the 7 (or 8) in the box.

I just hope we save a time out or two at the end.

DAWGS WIN!
