The Florida Gators (4-4, 2-3 SEC) and the No. 5 Texas Longhorns (7-1, 3-1) meet at DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium Saturday. Kickoff is slated for noon ET (ABC). Below, we look at Florida vs. Texas odds from BetMGM Sportsbook’s college football odds before making our expert college football picks and predictions later in the week.
Florida lost 34-20 at No. 2 Georgia last Saturday but covered by a hook (half point) as a 14.5-point underdog. Powered by 2 interceptions, the Gators led 13-6 at the half, but the Bulldogs took control in the second half, outscoring UF 14-0 in the third quarter and 14-7 in the fourth. The Over (52.5) cashed. The Gators’ running back duo of Ja’Kobi Jackson and Jadan Baugh combined for 138 yards and a touchdown, providing a bright spot in the loss.
Texas bounced back from a tough 30-15 loss to Georgia (Oct. 19), edging out Vanderbilt 27-24 on the road last Saturday. The Longhorns failed to cover as 17-point favorites, and the O/U (51) pushed. QB Quinn Ewers threw for 288 yards with 3 TDs, but he had 2 interceptions. The defense played a vital role in the victory, forcing 3 turnovers.

Florida vs. Texas head-to-head
Surprisingly, this is the first meeting between Texas and Florida since 1940. They’ve met only 3 times with the Longhorns holding a 2-0-1 advantage.
Their inaugural matchup in 1924 resulted in a 7-7 tie in Austin. The next two matchups resulted in Texas shutout wins. The Longhorns won 12-0 at home in 1939 and won 26-0 in Gainesville in 1940.
Now that both programs are in the SEC, expect a rivalry to grow.
