UT/UF is always interesting, and usually telling.

No. 11 Tennessee -7 at Florida: The latest edition of this storied rivalry will take place in the Swamp after the Gators offense erupted in a 49-7 win over McNeese. The Volunteers, on the other hand, struggled with Austin Peay on Rocky Top. It seems like oddsmakers have more faith in Florida even though its offense sputtered in the Week 1 loss at Utah.

How do oddsmakers have more faith in Florida when Tenn is an 8.5 road favorite?

I read that as meaning the line was closer than expected, it doesn't make sense otherwise.  I don't know if the line has moved since it was set, I'd probably take the Vols and give 7 points.  I'd guess something like 31-16.

It's weird to me this isn't the CBS 3:30 game.

I'm not a betting man, but if I were, I think I'd have learned not to bet against the Gators in this game.

I think you are being generous to USCe.

If Florida can run the ball, Tennessee is fucked.

I can't like my own comment, but I can quote it to demonstrate my agreement.  With myself.

Quoting for disagreement.  That was boring AF and I turned it off at the half.  I might be done giving Tennessee any of my time til further notice.  They've been like watching paint dry both games I've seen them in.
