The Pick

Florida +9.5

Florida State has looked great since its bye week, but the Seminoles have been fortunate to face three backup quarterbacks during that stretch. Florida is very inconsistent and it showed last Saturday in a lost to Vanderbilt, but the Gators will play hard against their rivals and Anthony Richardson will have a big game to keep it close.
