According to ESPN Analytics, the Florida football team has a 97.7% chance to win against the Samford Bulldogs on Week 2 of the college football season.
That is by far the highest chance of winning a game ESPN gave the Gators this season. With the No. 1 strength of schedule in the country, that comes to no surprise.
Besides their game against Samford, the Gators are not favored in any game remaining on their schedule. Not one.
The next highest percentage they have of winning a game is against the Kentucky Wildcats and that currently sits at 45.4%
The lowest percentage that the Gators have of winning is when they play on the road in Austin, Texas, to face the Texas Longhorns. Their chance of winning that game is just 5.4%.
