(185) Miami Florida at (186) Florida
1.5% Florida Gators (+2.5) over Miami Florida —
14 returning starters, a top 10 transfer class and 19-2 SU in their L21 season openers. The Gators are experienced, much improved and ready to go for their 14th straight win vs. FBS opponents in season openers @ the Swamp.
Miami also had an impressive transfer class but they don’t have the amount of experience that Florida does coming into this season opener. They find themselves relying on 6 defensive transfers in their starting lineup, while their offense also lost 2 of their top 3 leading rushers.
The Hurricanes have lost 3 of their L5 road openers, have gone 5-14 ATS as a F of less than a TD in the L19 and are just 2-7 SU in the L9 games against SEC opponents.
