Florida vs Kentucky Prediction

Florida is the better team and looking more and more like a legit national title contender. Kentucky has also had issues in big games this season. However, Florida is 3-7 ATS in its last 10 games as a double-digit favorite. Two of those failed covers were outright losses to TCU and Auburn.

We also rarely get Kentucky as a double-digit underdog. This will be just the sixth time since 2013 that Kentucky is a double-digit dog. Kentucky is also playing its best ball of the season, where it’s won 8 of its last 9 games and has road upsets over Arkansas and Tennessee. I’ll grab the buckets with Kentucky.
