Projected Spread For UF Game

[Hegemon]

No.. we just lost a bunch of close ones to FSU, making it look like we showed up.

This is the dumbest post of the day.

People complaining about someone’s “way too early” prediction on a line for a game in August must get their feelings hurt easily or not have watched football last year.
Florida won 10 games and the Peach Bowl last year (also beat the best team we played all season LSU)
Miami won 7 games and got curb stomped in the Pinstripe bowl.

I understand Canes fans have high expectations and Diaz has done everything he could in a short time, but let’s take a look at ummm I don’t know, who our QB will be? How our defensive line and secondary adapts to the losses we had after last season. What kind of offense we will run, etc

The bottom line is we will be unproven and unranked playing a school that greatly exceeded expectations last year and will likely be in the top 10 to start the season. Let’s stop getting our panties in a twist because someone is predicting an early line of 8.5 against us.

Show up to the spring game and then we can talk more about football.

We’ll be ranked if Martell gets the waiver.

Do I get an award? Like a plaque or maybe even a trophy?

I’d be happy w a certificate.

Stop we almost beat a James Winston FSU with Al Golden.

That’s true.
Guess it’s hard to be happy about showing up, if we lose the games we showed up to.

The good news is that we have experience in these neutral site OOC games to start the season. UF doesn't have that.

You say that, but history shows that MORE OFTEN THAN NOT, those SEC teams win these types of non-conference games.

There's always exceptions (UGA vs Texas last year), but you can't argue with results from that conference.

We just need to stop fcuking around and take back CFB. Have a few chances over the next couple of seasons.

I half agree.
The SEC was 39-28 against the spread against non-conference opponents. Pretty good but...
Florida and A&M were a combined 10-0. The rest of the league was 29-28.
The best teams in the league (Top-10 in pre-season polls), Bama, Auburn and UGA were 7-9.

The moral of the story?
Vegas adjusts accordingly and will overvalue the good SEC teams.
Last year uF was unranked. This year uF is in preseason top-10 conversations.
The gator will be fair-to-mediocre ATS vs OOC opponents just like the top SEC teams did last year.

No one should be any Miami game until mid season. No idea what effect Manny will have.

I definitely agree there. Would like to win those big ones.

They played Michigan in Dallas in 2017.

You have my respect, sir.

That is More reward than I expected.

The guy that set that line is a good handicapper. TIFWIW.

They play UGA every year in a neutral site. They played Michigan two years ago in a neutral site.
