Randy’s Pick

The Florida Gators are the more talented team, and they've shown more through 3 games, especially going toe to toe with Virginia. Florida should be favored here, especially at home. However, this is a rivalry game between Florida State and Florida, and points usually are nice to have. Also, Florida State has won 7 of the last 10 meetings against Florida and has covered 8 of those games. Florida has covered just 3 of its last 7 games overall. Give me the Noles and the free buckets.
