Clay Travis shares his prediction for Cocktail Party showdown between Georgia and Florida

Georgia and Florida have met on the gridiron 97 times. The 2 teams renew their long-standing rivalry on Saturday in Jacksonville at TIAA Bank Field, with the Bulldogs on a 3-game winning streak against the Gators.
Will they make it 4, or will the Gators finally get one over on the Dawgs? If you ask FOX Sports betting analyst Clay Travis, it will be the latter.
“I love Georgia … [but] I think Georgia has no offense,” he explained. “Stetson Bennett’s last 6 quarters, Georgia has scored 14 points. They’ve thrown a bunch of interceptions, they haven’t moved the ball very well, they lack explosiveness on offense at the playmaker position.
He then turned to Florida, a team he described as “stocked with talent”, while especially highlighting the play of quarterback Kyle Trask, who he considers a possible 1st-round pick in the NFL Draft.
“I love everything about Kyle Trask,” he said. “I made the argument that he could be the Joe Burrow of the 2020 SEC season. It’s difficult to compare anybody to Burrow because he had the best season in the history of college football in my mind … but I think Kyle Trask is going to get a victory for Florida.”
And while Georgia is being shown as a favorite by Vegas, Travis disagrees.
“I think they (Florida) should be favored in this game, and as a result, I am all over Florida,” he concluded.
