Florida vs Florida State Prediction
In this Florida vs Florida State Prediction, Florida is coming as -9.5 road favorites. Both teams have been undefeated this season, having won both of their games played and Florida State has also been perfect against the spread. Both teams play excellent offense, as they average 184.5 points per game combined and they also play elite defense, allowing just 130.5 points per game combined. The Seminoles have better numbers than the Gators in a small sample size and have kept their previous meeting last season a close one, losing by just two points. They are also 6-4 ATS in their last 10 meetings against Florida so I don’t expect this game to be a blowout. Take Florida State and grab those plus points at home in this one.
