Here we go, folks! The final game of Florida football’s 2021 campaign has finally arrived as the Orange and Blue gets set to take on the Central Florida Knights in the Gasparilla Bowl on Thursday night.

By now, everyone should be familiar with the narratives: disappointing seasons; de facto state title; playing for mere pride. A win for the Gators prevents the first losing season in Gainesville since 2017 while a Knights victory gives them bragging rights until the two schools meet again in 2024.

Ahead of the game, according to the Tipico Sportsbook, the Gators’ edge dropped a point back to 6.5 over the Knights with the over-under falling back to 55.5 points. Florida’s money rose to minus-240 while Central Florida’s fell to plus-190 as of 9 a.m. EST on Thursday.
