… from 247Sports’ Brad Crawford:
Georgia Bulldogs
Bold prediction: JT Daniels sets single-season record for passing yards. Georgia’s current program high is 3,893, set by Aaron Murray during the 2012 season. If Daniels stays healthy and the Bulldogs play 14 games (regular season, SEC Championship, bowl) this season, he only needs 279 yards per game average to eclipse that mark. Daniels as the Heisman winner could be another bold prediction as long as Georgia’s other top-end wideouts produce in the wake of George Pickens’ absence. Given his success last season in short order down the stretch, Daniels should be one of college football’s most prolific quarterbacks in 2021.
Florida Gators
Bold prediction: Dan Mullen’s team is 4-3, outside of the Top 25 going into the Georgia game. Don’t shoot the messenger, Florida fans — this is a bold prediction after all. The Gators won’t be favored at home vs. Alabama or on the road against LSU prior to the open week pre-Georgia and we’ve already mentioned previously that Kentucky may take out two SEC titans in Lexington this season. But even if this doomsday scenario happens for the defending SEC East champions, the backend of the slate is soft enough for a strong finish after the rivalry showdown in Jacksonville.
Let me go out on a limb here and say that if he’s right, I’m gonna have one big ol’ shit eating grin on my face in Jacksonville this year.
Get The Picture 
I don’t think either of them are all that bold. It’s easy to see JT Daniels throwing for over 279 yards per game, and we saw what UF looked like without their top receivers in the bowl game.

Considering UF’s run against UK, predicting 4-3 for the Gators is something of a bold prediction.

Ok, I’ll give you UK upsetting UF is bold, but the Gators struggling mightily next season is not.

You forget the division the Gators play in. Here’s their 2021 schedule. Three losses before Jax would be a surprise. A pleasant one, to be sure, but a surprise nonetheless.

Yeah, looking at that link, I think they finish the regular season with 4 losses, 5 tops. 5 would really stoke the hot-seat talk. I think the UF natives are restless, Mullen keeping Grantham after last year turned off a bunch of Bull Gators. Not getting a contract extension after winning the East last year can’t be a good sign, right?

Kiffin is biding his time. He may very well be the next Handbag coach and we’ll miss Sideshow when that happens.
Actually, between his wit and his offensive schemery, Kiff could be the next SOS without the bitchy side.

Assuming Mullen is indeed going for a run-oriented offense and Grantham continues to Grantham, I’d say their game with Kentucky is a coin flip.

I don’t know about coin flip, but the Gators play UK early before the lack of depth catches up to the Cats.

True. But what Florida coach saw that near quarter-century streak of never losing to UK end (and arguably would have lost to them twice had his starting QB not gotten injured and the better passing backup not saved the game)?

4-3 means losses to Bama, LSU, and one of UK, UT, Florida Atlantic, South Florida, or Vandy. I’m going to go ahead and say that UF isn’t losing to FAU, USF, UT, or Vandy. I agree that 5-2 is more likely than 4-3 or 6-1, but a loss in Lexington isn’t out of the question.

Is it a “bold” prediction by adding…”if Daniel’s stays healthy…”, Georgia’s other wideouts produce..” kind of ridiculous to claim he’s bold there. Regardless, the game is pass happy, favors the passing game, our schedule is soft, skill corps deep…let’s just say a shit-ton of record breaking passing yards should be table stakes this season regardless of QB & no Pickens.

As long as the Gators have one more loss AFTER the cocktail party than they did before, I will be a happy Dawg. Don’t really care if they have 0, 1, 2 or 3 losses going in, just make sure they lose THAT DAY.

After spending an enjoyable morning watching UGA heckling FU fans when Ron Zook brought a turd team to face an unbeaten Georgia team. I’ll never again assume any win it was painful lesson that unforgettable day. Mark Richt to me will always be a DGD he just never understood that FU must be crushed like GT.
With Kirby Smart I’ll never doubt that he hates FU and understands what must be done to his core. He will own this rivalry like the Ole Ball Sack did.
It can never be said too often. Fuck FU and the mule they rode in on.
