Georgia-Florida betting line opens at historic spread not seen in decades
Top-ranked Georgia and Florida get together in Jacksonville on Saturday.
It has been a great rivalry through the years, earning the nickname of the “World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party.”
Part of what makes for a great rivalry is great competition, but this weekend’s matchup isn’t expected to be close.
In fact, the Bulldogs opened Sunday as 22-point favorites.
To put that in perspective, it’s the largest spread in the series since 1995.
Florida #Gators are a 22-point underdog to Georgia this week. It is the largest spread in the game in available data since 1995.

Saturday’s matchup is set for 3:30 p.m. (ET) and will be televised by CBS.
