The No. 2 Georgia Bulldogs are headed to the Swamp this Saturday for an SEC clash and rivalry matchup with the unranked Florida Gators , and there's plenty of history behind this showdown. Since 1904, whenever the Bulldogs and Gators meet, they host the world's largest outdoor cocktail party.
Georgia leads the rivalry 56 to 44 and has won nine of their last 14 matchups against Florida. However, on Wednesday, " College GameDay " host Rece Davis appeared on David Pollack's podcast and revealed a comedic nickname he has for the Georgia-Florida rivalry, which has been quite one-sided in recent years due to Florida's struggles. "I've been calling this game the World's Largest Outdoor 'Mocktail' Party because Florida's gonna have to play better before they merit somebody raising a glass to them.
I wouldn't be surprised if Florida jumps on them early and scores seven or ten points, then loses by 20." Davis said. My brother @ReceDavis has an elite nickname for Georgia-Florida.

Currently, Georgia is a 14.5-point favorite according to DraftKings Sportsbook , sitting at 6-1, while the Gators are 4-3. Florida has been playing better football lately, with freshman DJ Lagway leading the way at quarterback, but they still have significant issues on both sides of the ball.
