The wait is nearly over for Florida Gators fans after a two-week layoff courtesy of a COVID-19 outbreak after the loss to the Texas A&M Aggies. As a result, the LSU game originally scheduled for Oct. 17 was moved to Dec. 12 and the Missouri game was pushed back a week to fill a previous bye on Halloween.

Now, it appears that the two teams will finally take the field this weekend in the friendly confines of The Swamp.

According to BetMGM, Florida is a 13-point favorite according to BetMGM. The over/under is 63.5.

The game kicks off at 7:30 p.m. EDT on Saturday at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, and it will be televised on the SEC Network.

Report: Chiefs-Patriots to be played Monday pending negative test results

Back-to-back Monday night games for Kansas City are becoming increasingly likely according to a new report.

The Kansas City Chiefs and New England Patriots game appears to be headed toward a Monday night reschedule.

According to NFL Network reporters Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero, the current plan is for the Week 4 game between the Patriots and the Chiefs to be played on Monday. Rapoport noted that this is the preference of both teams, but it ultimately won’t be left up to them. They need to continue to have negative test results following the positive tests of Cam Newton and Jordan Ta’amu.

Since the initial positive tests, everything has come back negative for both the Chiefs and the Patriots.

It makes sense that Kansas City would request the game to be played on Monday. The Chiefs would face a schedule crunch if the game had to be played on Tuesday.

Another hurdle that the NFL needs to address is getting the Patriots to Arrowhead Stadium in a timely fashion. They’re still in New England and the NFL has previously barred teams from same-day travel for games. They could opt to allow the Patriots to travel on the same-day in these extreme circumstances but that remains to be seen.

While “Monday Night Football” is typically played on ESPN, this game would likely stay with the original broadcast network, which is CBS. If there’s a conflict on the main CBS network, they might have to move the game to CBS Sports Network. The game would also need to be played ahead of the Green Bay Packers vs. Atlanta Falcons game on “Monday Night Football.” That game is set for 7:15 p.m. CT, so you’ll probably be looking at 5:00 p.m. CT kickoff in Kansas City.

All-in-all there’s still a lot to be determined and even if the game is rescheduled for Monday, there’s potential for the game to be delayed further pending game day COVID-19 test results.
