Florida Gators +6.5 vs Florida State Seminoles (-105)
There are a great deal of questions heading into this year’s installment of the sunshine showdown. Florida State was in prime position to win the ACC and qualify for the College Football Playoff, but the Seminoles suffered a devastating blow last week in losing starting quarterback Jordan Travis to a season-ending injury. In steps backup Tate Rodemaker and he’ll be greated with a road test in a rivalry game right out of the gate. The season hasn’t gone to plan for Florida, but a win over the ‘Noles while reaching bowl eligibility would be a nice way to end the campaign. The Gators starting quarterback, Graham Mertz, is also out for the season after an injury suffered last week against Missouri. Therefore, we’ve got a battle between backup quarterbacks with a ton at stake in the Swamp.
