Florida Gators at Georgia Bulldogs Prediction
When these two teams played back on January 14th at the end of regulation time the score was knotted at 67-67 for a combined total of 134 points. Florida has played exceptional defense ranking 42nd in the nation in scoring defense allowing a miserly 65.6 points per game. There defense has been especiall stingy in overt their last three games holding the opposition to an average of 57.3 points including holding Kentucky to 24 points under their average seasonal PPG scoring. Georgia has allowed 68.9 points per game overall and that number increases in conference play to 72.2, but keep in mind that two of those matches went to overtime increasing the metric. Removing the points from the extra frames gives us 69.9 PPG allowed in regulation time in SEC games giving more value to a total play.
