COLLEGE FOOTBALL ODDS

Florida is a 6-point, -250 moneyline favorite and the over/under total is 42, and the betting public is backing the Gators in this conference clash, with just under 62 per cent betting Florida covers the 6 points. Bettors are not quite as sold on the over/under with about 53 per cent on the over. 

The Gators are 2-1 SU in SEC play this season, first in the SEC’s East division. The Tigers are a perfect 3-0 in the SEC, and sit atop the conference’s West division.

 Over the past 10 head-to-head, the Gators have gone 6-4 SU and 7-2-1 ATS. They last squared off on Oct. 10 last season, when the Gators beat the Tigers 13-3. That score ended up as a push for bettors, as the Gators had been 10-point road favorites. The score went well below the total of 46.

 In their last game, the Tigers beat the Tennessee Volunteers 16-14, failing to cash as a 16.5-point home favorite, while the score went under the total.

 Florida was dumped 31-6 by the No. 1 Alabama Crimson Tide, falling well short of covering as 7.5-point underdogs, while the score went under the total.
