Florida’s odds to beat Utah on Saturday in the 2022 season opener improved on Wednesday, according to the Tipico Sportsbook.
Utah was a minus-150 favorite on Tuesday, but those odds have dropped to minus-145 overnight. In turn, Florida’s money line odds went from plus-122 to plus-120 overnight as well. Nothing else changed, and Tipico still considers Utah a three-point favorite, but that money line trend is something to keep an eye on as game day approaches.
It won’t be an easy upset to accomplish, but the Gators have a shot to beat the Utes and the oddsmakers seem to know it. If enough money comes in on the game, these odds could change even more but Florida is likely to remain an underdog going into Saturday.
