Not quite true. A lot of people are picking them, and most everybody thinks it'll be a close game that could go either way.

i am aware of the Qb and his Receivers.

They're very good. Is the Gator defense good enough to shut them down? Bowling Green scored 14 on them, and A&M scored 17 on them with a new QB, a new offensive system and a new head coach in their first game. It's reasonable to think Tennessee can score more.

Is the defense actually worth a spit?

Doesn't look that good, but hard to tell this early. The question, though, is whether Florida can score enough even against a bad defense. Nobody was touting the A&M defense as all that great, but they held UF to 20. Outside of Gillislee, there's really not much to the Gator offense. Even Tennessee's mediocre defense may be able to keep the Gators from scoring a lot, which is what it might take to outgun Bray et al.
