Utah at Florida
The books made a mistake in opening Florida as favorites over the summer. This line has crept up to Utah -3, essentially flipped from the opener. And I like the Utes to win.
Kyle Whittingham has been at Utah forever. This is his most talented team. The Utes now have a legitimate top-20 offense to go with the perennial top-20 defense. Eight starters return on offense, including breakout star QB Cam Rising.
Rising's dual-threat game is a perfect fit next to hammer back RB Tavion Thomas, who punched in 21 TD last year. Four starters return on the offensive line, and Utah's power-game ethos is aided by one of the nation's premier TE duos.
