florida game line

Early line on sportsbook.com has the gators a 2.5 point favorite. What ya think?

I'll tell ya after the NC State and Ga State games.

I would take UT in a heartbeat with that line. That looks like a line base on history.

I could see ut being the favorite depending on how uf shows out at a&m

Well, considering the streak..... this season a new one begins !

[Spartacavolus]

All the UT lines have moved anywhere from 2-8 points recently.

Tell me hype or lack of hype doesn't make the needle move. Nothing has changed in the last 3 months that should make it move, but a little hype comes along and people jump on board. Works both ways.

How often has history failed to be a solid predictor in this series the past 20 years?

If we're only projected to lose by 2.5 points then I'd say that's a good starting line. Especially when you compare it to years past. The only reason they're favorites at this point is because they're the Gaytors.

Let's see how Bray and the 3TD Mafia (Hunter, Rogers, and Paterson) perform first.

In 98 championship year we had lost 4 straight before we won...

How many after? GAVol's question was valid.

Okay good point. Ya got me. I think this years game is a pivotal game in the series however. We have a chance to start a new streak with the upcoming talent and good coaching. Hopefully we can pull it off!

So factoring in the 3 points that Vegas typically gives the home team, they are saying that UF is 5.5 points better than us on a neutral field? I just don't see it.

[fade route]

I agree with the line. Gators 26.5, UT 24.

I see your point, but we have had things like all of the 2012 class making it in, including McCullers and Patterson, and them being in some degree of decent shape. Would that move the needle a wee bit?

Maybe small but significant things like pronouncements of Hunter's apparent recovery, Bray exhibiting more leadership? Florida losing Philips, us gaining Philips? Dunno.
