College Football Odds: Florida vs. Florida State prediction, odds

The Florida State Seminoles were hit hard by a three-game losing streak in the middle third of their season. They won at Syracuse to halt their slide and are now on the verge of a nine-win season, which is a clear progress measured against the past five seasons. Florida, unlike Florida state, is in trouble. The Gators have gotten worse as the season has moved along. Last week they lost to Vanderbilt. They beat Utah in Week 1. It's awfully hard to just flip the switch and hope that a mediocre team can suddenly play winning football.

Florida is inconsistent and unreliable, but it's possible for a college football rivalry game to go in a wild way. Mississippi State beat Ole Miss on Thursday night after trailing by nine points in the second quarter. Florida is an extremely dangerous team if quarterback Anthony Richardson is in top form and gets reasonable protection from his offensive line.
