Gasparilla Bowl- Tampa, Florida
Central Florida vs Florida 7:00 ET
Gators (-) over Knights- At 6-6 is was a disappointing season for the Gators as they eked by Florida State 24-21 in their final game of the season to qualify for a bowl game. So bad a year it was for Florida that they fired head coach Dan Mullen before their final game against the Seminoles. Turmoil is the best way to describe Florida's position as starting quarterback Anthony Richardson will not play because of a knee injury and Emery Jones will start despite his entering the transfer portal after the game. The Knights will start true freshman Mikey Keene who took over for injured QB Dillon Gabriel who himself has also entered the transfer portal to UCLA. UCF has been disappointing as underdogs going 1-4 ATS in their last five in the role and are 6-15 ATS in their last 21 games overall. The Gators are 6-2 ATS in their last eight bowl games as favorites and 12-5 ATS as favorites at neutral sites. Take FLORIDA!
