Florida at Ole Miss: Odds, betting lines and picks
Prediction
Florida 42, Ole Miss 21
Money line (ML)
FLORIDA (-556) opens this contest as a big money line favorite over the SEC-rival Ole Miss (+400). It’s not all that surprising considering how hot the Gators were to end last season and with Mississippi losing five of its last six games to finish the 2019 season.
Ole Miss has lost five straight games to SEC opponents. Expect FLORIDA (-556) to win this game easily on Saturday afternoon.

Against the spread (ATS)
FLORIDA -13.5 (-110) is a two-touchdown favorite over Ole Miss despite being on the road. The Gators have fared well against the spread, covering or pushing in eight of their last 10 contests.
Ole Miss is just 2-6-1 against the spread in its last nine games and hasn’t had a ton of success ATS versus SEC opponents. Expect FLORIDA -13.5 (-110) to cover Saturday at Hollingsworth Field and for the winning margin to be by 20 or more points.
Over/Under (O/U)
The total for this SEC contest is set at 57.5 points, which feels a bit low considering how good Florida’s offense was to end the season. In their last four games of the 2019 season, the Gators averaged nearly 39 points per game. Ole Miss can put up points itself and should be a good bet to score a few touchdowns.
Look for the OVER 57.5 (-110) to hit in this contest with 60-plus points being scored.
