I looked at the point spread, and it seems kind of low at -3.

What are you guys expecting to see this weekend from your Gators against the Canes?

Expect a win in a hard fought dirty game, which is typical when playing scUM. UF pulls away in the second half 28-10. Go Gators

20-17

Glad to see these two teams playing each other again. Although I do feel bad for UF that their two in-state rivals are non-conference. That combined with an SEC schedule is rough. Best of luck to the Gators.

Al Golden is a good HC and Miami will get better, but they're not there yet. UF by at least 2 TD's.

I'm a really big Al Golden fan. He just looks like a great coach IMO. But you're right, Florida wins. I actually think Florida's going to end up in Atlanta this year.

We don't have enough Florida fans for a true answer.

But.... there's other things to do in Florida on a Saturday morning. Like picking oranges and watching alligators

If UF loses, the SEC will never hear the end of it from the ACC hacks. I'll be pulling for UF.

My thoughts are that if we contain Johnson (which happened last year when they played defenses with a pulse) and put pressure on Morris (who makes REALLY bad decisions under pressure) we'll win the game.

If we allow Johnson to run all over us that opens up play action for Morris and he's good at that.

Miami's defense was a little suspect against a pretty bad FAU team. Nothing horrible but you could definitely see the holes. I know that Miami is a "quick strike" type of team but FAU controlled the clock in the game pretty nicely for a team of their caliber.

If UF controls the clock like they usually do and the defense does the above (containment) we'll win by 10-14.

If not, we lose. That simple.

The good news is that it probably won't be a hostile environment for UF. I'd say at LEAST 50% of the stands will be UF fans. At least.

If Florida loses, I wonder if that derails there season a bit.

Of course the next three aren't very good teams (UT, UK, Arky) other than maybe UT, but then you have @LSU, @Mizzou (who played you close last year), and UGA. Then you still have games against @USCe and FSU. Tough schedule.

Gators need to win this one.

I've got them as a part of a 3 game parlay. It's an interesting bet for sure. Hopefully it works out well and the Gators handle business.

I am feeling pretty good. UF's defense looked really good against Toledo.

UF's offense should be able to run the ball down Miami's throat with the occasional play action pass.
