The defending national champions, the Florida Gators, have gotten off to a rough start in 2025-26. They are just 9-5 on the season, and they lost their first SEC game of the season, falling to the Missouri Tigers this past weekend.

Despite that, the Gators are set as favorites against No. 18 Georgia on Tuesday night. Let's dive into the odds and my best bet for this SEC showdown.

Georgia vs. Florida Key Player to Watch

• Jeremiah Wilkinson, G - Georgia Bulldogs

A big reason for Georgia's hot start has been Jeremiah Wilkinson, who is averaging 18.3 points per game this season, while shooting 45.5% from the floor and 36% from three-point range. Now, he has one of the toughest tests he'll face this season. He'll have to step up, especially with Somtochukwu Cyril potentially missing tonight's game.

Georgia vs. Florida Prediction and Pick

I'm shocked this spread is as big as it is. Sure, Somtochukwu Cyril may miss tonight's game, which will certainly hurt the interior of this Georgia team, but the Bulldogs still rank 36th in the country in effective field goal percentage, while Florida ranks just 169th.

The betting market is still treating the Gators like they're the same team that won last year's National Championship. They've been solid defensively, but haven't been able to string things together offensively, yet they're listed as almost double-digit favorites against a nationally ranked team tonight.

Give me the points with the Bulldogs.
