The trends in recent years, show that this game should go over the total.  I think Florida gets back on track here and will win a game that goes down to the wire.

Florida did give up a lot of points last week.  However, South Carolina is not LSU.   In the end, I think Florida’s defense will stand tall down the stretch in this one.  Final score prediction, Florida wins and the score goes over 27-24.
