12. Florida's offense will allow fewer than four sacks.
    Wrong. Driskel was sacked five times.
13. Florida will lead at halftime.
    Wrong. The cruelest miss of any of these; all Driskel has to do is take a sack or throw the ball away instead of trying to throw across his body into traffic in the end zone and I'm right.
14. Dante Fowler will record a sack.
    Wrong. Fowler did, however, get pulled down on a hold that basically prevented a sack.
15. Florida's defensive line will be responsible for at least seven combined tackles for loss and sacks.

21. Aaron Murray will commit at least one turnover.
    Right. Easy money.
22. Florida will make a big play in special teams.

23. Kyle Christy will have a punt of at least 60 yards.
    Wrong. I was counting on the wind and Christy getting to punt more than three times in it. Thanks, turnovers.

    Right. Georgia managed 4.6 yards per play.
25. Florida will win, 31-20.
