Looking at how the Home Teams have played it is easy to see a clear advantage for Home Teams in the SEC.

USCe @ LSU = L
LSU @ UF = L
USCe @ UF = L
UGA @ USCe = L
USCe @ UK = W but much closer since in Lexington
UGA @ UK = W but much closer since in Lexington
USCe @ Vandy = W but much closer since in Nashville
UK @ Arky = L and the UK at home would beat Arky based on how well they have played

All this is to say I know the numbers don't look favorable at all for Jax but at least it is in Jax and not the Swamp. I predict UF to be a 8-10 pt favorite.

Nothing new although SC added a whole new meaning to home field advantage against us this season. Another prime example: as shitty as Auburn has played this season, they gave LSU all they could stand at home.

I forgot that as well. This idea that UF should be a 72 point favorite is crazy. Yes they are good, but if the Dawgs actually show up, hate using the Vandy game as an example but look there, we CAN win. We can only hope and pray the team has some fire rolling into Jax.
