Florida vs. Kentucky prediction

After their 4-0 start following a win over Ole Miss, the Gators were the talk of college football. The College Football Playoff was in sight, and Florida football was back. It appears we jumped the gun there. The Gators are 1-4 since, and a comeback in Austin away from 0-5. Not to take an impressive road win at Texas away from this team, but the four losses have been bad, and they trailed by double digits in the win.

The losses came at Missouri, vs. South Carolina, to Georgia in Atlanta and vs. Oklahoma. All of them were by 16 or more points, losing by an average of 20.5 per game. This prolific offense to begin the season has come to a screeching halt. While Georgia and Oklahoma are a couple of the best defenses in the country, Florida couldn’t even manage to score double digits in either of the last two games, scoring 15 total points combined.

Now the Gators head to Lexington for a massive road game. Kentucky is still hanging onto a CFP spot, dropping from No. 6 to No. 11 after its road loss to Tennessee. The Wildcats were in the game the entire way, but lost the fourth quarter 21-0 for things to come undone. I’m looking for a big bounce-back at home in a crucial night game.

Kentucky’s only home loss came to Alabama, in a game it led at halftime. Bama sits No. 3 in the CFP right now, so the loss is explainable. Since then, the Wildcats have four outright wins in the SEC as the underdog, including a Saturday night thriller over LSU. I expect this to be a similar atmosphere that Kentucky thrives in against the limping Gators.

If -3 flat is not available when you tail, you can split a bet on -2.5 and -3.5 on DraftKings to get a similar price on laying the field goal.
