4* Money Maker
(NCAAF) Green Wave (TUL) vs. Gators (FLA),
Point Spread: -12.50 | -110.00 Gators (FLA) (Home)
Result: Win
Taking FLORIDA. I think we have 2 teams with different motivations. Tulane thought their HC would head to greener pastures. He stayed. But his starting QB and his backup both left New Orleans. We get a 3rd stringer. Now - he is a transfer from Oregon. A former 5* recruit. But barely sniffed the field in 4 years of college ball. I can't see some huge offense from these guys. They lost their last 2 games that cost them a possible playoff spot, or at least a much better bowl. 34-24 to Memphis and then in the AAC Championship Game 35-14. Now they get a revived Gators team in a quasi home game. Billy Napier was all but fired after a bad start. But you reel off wins over LSU, Ole Miss and Florida State and the swagger is back in The Swamp. After 6-7 and 5-7 seasons, 7-5 and a bowl game - no lack of motivation for Florida today. 4* Money Maker FLORIDA
