The World’s Largest Cocktail Party might be over before it really starts next weekend.

That is if Las Vegas is right.

Georgia is favored by two touchdowns, the widest margin since 1985 according to one website.

Recent win streaks in the game have seesawed back and forth. Georgia won 3 in a row from 2011 to 2013 before Florida took the reins and rattled off 3 straight.

The Gators took the most recent game 24-10. The longest streak by either program is 7 wins, but the biggest win belongs to the Bulldogs, who won 75-0 in 1942.
