Florida at Tennessee: Three things to know
- Florida QB Kyle Trask is currently the Heisman favorite with 34 touchdowns to just three interceptions on the season. In eight games, he has already thrown for 2,810 yards and is completing 71.4% of his passes.
- Florida TE Kyle Pitts could be a top-10 draft pick, as he is the nation’s top tight end. He has played in just six games, but already has 11 touchdown receptions and is averaging nearly 18 yards per reception.
- Tennessee has not only lost five straight games to SEC opponents, but the Volunteers failed to cover the spread in each of those games.

Prediction
Florida 45, Tennessee 21
Money line (ML)
Florida is a huge money line favorite Saturday afternoon, but there just isn’t enough value on either side. The Gators should have no problem scoring at will. PASS on the money line in favor of better value on the point spread.
Against the spread (ATS)
FLORIDA -17.5 (-110) is the right play in this SEC matchup. Its only loss of the season came in a one-score game against Texas A&M earlier this season. The Gators have proven to be one of the best teams in the SEC and their offense might be the best in school history.
They’re averaging over 43 points per game and should come close to that number again today. Take Florida to cover the 17.5-point spread as Tennessee just doesn’t have the offensive firepower to keep up.
Over/Under (O/U)
OVER 62.5 (-110) should hit at Neyland Stadium Saturday as Florida will do most of the heavy lifting on offense. If Tennessee can score a few touchdowns, this feels like a lock to hit.
The Over has hit in seven of the last 10 games for Florida as the Gators finally have an elite pocket passer. Take the over here and root for a ton of points to be scored in Knoxville.
