Why Florida can cover
The Gators are coming off a 23-17 overtime loss to Tennessee where they looked like the more physical team for well over a half on the road. They held a potent Tennessee offense to just 4.5 yards per play (312 yards of total offense) and led by double-digits in the third quarter before the Volunteers clawed back into the game late.
Montrell Johnson, who is listed as questionable for this game, rushed for 85 yards and Chimere Dike had four catches for 76 yards and a score in the defeat. The Florida defense limited Nico Iamaleava to 6.5 yards per pass attempt and Jaden Robinson tied for the team lead with seven tackles and led the team with 1.5 sacks. See which team to pick here.
