Auburn vs Florida Prediction
I’m intrigued by how the Gators look, but let’s relax a bit. They played FAU and Campbell. This will be a real test on the road in SEC country. Florida still has a new coaching staff, a questionable offensive line, and a quarterback who will play just the second road game in his career. Auburn has offensive concerns, but it’s still above average defensively and has been tested already with a game against Baylor. I wouldn’t be surprised if Florida wins, but it feels like the value is with Auburn and the points. I’ll grab them in this conference showdown.
