Comments
Before the season started this one seemed like a Gator certain victory. After several losses including getting shellacked by South Carolina, things are different. I’m thinking if Florida wins it will be by a lot. If they lose it’ll be a close loss. The Gators have struggled of late but I’m not ready to predict them to lose to Samford. Florida by two touchdowns or more. Woe is Samford.
