The world's largest outdoor cocktail party will take place when No. 2 Georgia takes on Florida in Week 10 of college football on Saturday. Here's what to look out for, along with our updated prediction for the game.

Georgia improved to 4-1 in SEC play two weeks ago, securing a decisive win at Texas that saved the team's playoff hopes, but tougher tests lie ahead before the selection committee sorts everything out.

Florida reached a 2-2 mark in conference play after defeating rival Kentucky, but faces the most brutal stretch of any college football game this season, playing four ranked opponents in the final five weeks of the year.

What can we expect when the Bulldogs and Gators renew their rivalry this weekend?

Here's what to look for when Georgia and Florida meet in this Week 10 college football matchup, along with our updated prediction for the game.

1. Goodbye. Georgia tailback Trevor Etienne left Florida last season and came to Athens, waiting for the chance to catch his old team. He leads the Bulldogs with 422 rushing yards and has seven scores, but has yet to surpass 100 yards in a single game.

Florida ranks 15th in the SEC in total efficiency and 94th nationally in rush defense this season, but the front-seven rotation has improved greatly over the last three games, ranking in the top 30 during that span in this category and brings his linebackers ever closer to limiting many gains on the spot.

2. Pressure. Florida 5-star freshman quarterback DJ Lagway has quietly improved the Gators' passing performance of late and is currently the most efficient passer in the SEC on deep throws, according to numbers from Pro Football Focus.

But he may have a difficult time finding a lasting foothold against Georgia's aggressive pass defense, which has allowed just 15 completions for 20 yards and is attacking quarterbacks more than at any time in the Kirby Smart era. Any early battle for UF's quarterback could be very costly.

3. Sales. Florida's defense has been better at generating takeaways of late, forcing six turnovers from opponents in the last three games, increasing the team's turnover margin to minus-1 on the year.

Georgia's Carson Beck has thrown eight interceptions in his last four appearances, which has played a role in the team's generally inconsistent offensive performance of late and could contribute to a current strength of the Gators' defense.

Georgia is one 14.5 point favorite against Florida, according to updated lines posted at FanDuel Sportsbook.

FanDuel bet the total 51.5 points for the game (Over -110, Under -110).

And it lists the moneyline odds for Georgia -630 and for Florida +460 win directly.

Florida should stay in this game for at least the first half thanks to a Georgia back-seven unit that was occasionally generous to opposing quarterbacks and a front-seven unit that has improved and the Bulldogs' ground game has been improving for a while could throw it off schedule.

But over time, Georgia's blitz packages should finally shrink Lagway's pocket enough for him to start making mistakes while Beck and his receivers expose the back end of the Gators' secondary.
