The road team is 4-1 straight up and 5-0 against the spread over the last five Sunshine State showdowns between Florida and Florida State. That trend would seem to bode well for the Gators heading into Saturday night's tussle with the Seminoles in Tallahassee.
Point spread: The Seminoles opened as five-point favorites, according to sportsbooks monitored by Odds Shark. (Line updates and matchup report)
College football pick, via Odds Shark computer: 33.2-33.0 Gators (College football picks on every game)
Why the Florida Gators can cover the spread
Florida just won the SEC East for the second straight season by upsetting LSU in Baton Rouge last week 16-10. The Gators spotted the Tigers an early 7-0 advantage, rallied to lead 16-10 late, then secured the victory with a goal-line stand in the final seconds, stuffing LSU ball-carriers on third and fourth down from the 1-yard line.
The Tigers outplayed Florida on the stat sheet, but it was the Gators who came up with the big plays. They recovered an LSU fumble deep in their own red zone and put on an earlier goal-line stand that resulted in both a botched Tigers field goal and a 98-yard Austin Appleby-to-Tyrie Cleveland touchdown connection. So Florida is now 5-1 SU, 4-2 ATS over its last six games.
Sorry had to bring the SEC up here to the Northwest. Go Gators....
