Florida comes into this matchup as one of the top teams in the country and they are coming off of a very impressive road win against Alabama. The Gators are scoring over 84 points per game this season and they have scored 99 and 89 points in their last two games. Ole Miss has been a little inconsistent down the stretch this season, but they are coming off of a nice win against Tennessee. The Rebels have had some issues defensively this season and they have allowed at least 76 points in five straight games. We have seen both of these teams play high scoring games recently and I think this Florida offense is going to have another huge day. Take the over in this game.
