Following its first loss of the season last week at Arkansas, Tennessee returns home to Neyland Stadium on Saturday night for a rivalry matchup against Florida.
The rivalry matchup is just one of many strong games on an elite college football Saturday. ESPN’s College Gameday is in Eugene for the primetime Big 10 matchup between No. 2 Ohio State and No. 3 Oregon. But on a day with three ranked matchups, the College Gameday crew made its predictions for Tennessee-Florida.
The gameday crew mostly likes Tennessee to bounce back and earn a rivalry matchup over Florida with all our people making picks taking the Vols to earn the win.
As of Saturday morning, Tennessee is 14.5-point favorites over Florida according to DraftKings Sportsbook. The Vols haven’t beaten Florida by two touchdowns since 1992 and the Gators have owned the rivalry in recent years. But Florida is off to a poor 3-2 (1-1 SEC) start to the season with blowout losses against both Miami and Texas A&M.
Tennessee is looking to make it a third blowout loss for the Gators as the Vols prepare for their first big home game of the season. Kickoff at Neyland Stadium is at 7 p.m. ET on Saturday night. Bob Wischusen, Louis Riddick and Kris Budden are on the call for ESPN.
