Here’s USA TODAY Sports’ prediction for Florida vs. USF

USA TODAY Sports isn’t feeling too bullish on the Bulls.

Kickoff between the Florida Gators and USF Bulls is just hours away and ahead of the game the media is putting out its predictions for the upcoming matchups.

Among those presenting their prognostications is the USA TODAY Sports college football staff, which offered its unanimous support for the Orange and Blue against their in-state foes. Votes were submitted by Scooby Axelson, Jace Evans, Paul Myerberg, Erick Smith, Eddie Timanus and Dan Wolken in favor of the Orange and Blue.

Last week, the panel was split between Florida and Kentucky, with the latter winning out. The week prior, the group favored Utah and the Gators proved them wrong — though Evans believed in them the entire time.

As a whole, Florida is favored heavily on this one, with the latest line from BetMGM giving the Gators a 24.5-point spread over the visitors from Tampa with many of the other bookmakers also consistent with that number. The Gators Wire roundtable expert composite prediction has the home team emerging victoriously by a margin of 25 points with a 39-14 win.
