An outbreak of COVID-19 on the Florida Gators’ (2-1) football team reported on Tuesday has put a damper on the game this Saturday against the LSU Tigers (1-2). According to a report by Payton Titus of The Independent Florida Alligator, 19 UF players have tested positive for the novel coronavirus.
Whether the game will be played is still up in the air, but that does not stop the oddsmakers from doing what they do best. Interestingly, after starting on Monday a 14-point favorite, Florida’s margin has been whittling away bit by bit leading up to today.
According to BetMGM, Florida is an 11.5-point favorite according to BetMGM. The over/under is 71.5.
The game kicks off at 4:00 p.m. EDT on Saturday at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, and it will be televised on ESPN.
