WOW. No love for SC's defense I guess. I think this line will move a ton. Obviously, I think UF will win. UF is playing like world-beaters right now. But I am seriously amazed at that number. That's a lot of wood to lay. Granted, I think SoCar's defense has slacked a bit, and they will be missing DB Culliver for the first half from his ejection against Arkansas, but at the same time, the offense has started to come into their own a little, thus making up a little at least for the lessened defensive stands. Anyone's thoughts?

I'd say SC or nothing at that number.

SC beats them outright. The old ball coach will have something up his sleeve for them!

Yeah, but Florida actually has the better scoring defense here. UF is allowing a paltry 13 ppg in conference play. South Carolina more like 20. So, i don't see South carolina's offense doing jack shit in this game. Florida will still break 30, even against the Gamecock D.

South Carolina has the best defense in the SEC and #3 in the country

I know how UF has played the last several games but they havent faced a team with a comparable tough strong D this season. SC can shut down the pass attack and run.

UF wins but I see this game being closer then 3+ TD's (which is the whole point Vegas did by doing this high of number since most people are love with UF. They don't try to predict the margin of victory they just try to get equal money on both sides)

Spurrier needs more than just something up his sleeve. He will need many things. He would have to hit on 2 or 3 trick plays to have a chance to win this game. I am sure that even if Florida covers this game you will still say they have no chance to win the championship.

Agreed. Florida really started rolling against LSU, and continued against UGA. Interesting to note that these two teams' scoring defenses rank 10th and 11th, respectively, in the SEC. I worry about SoCar keeping up with UF's blazing team speed. If SoCar stacks the box, brings some good blitzes and stunts to contain or at least slow down Tebow and force him to pass, I feel a lot better about SoCar's chances with their secondary. Again, team speed for UF still has the upper hand here. Still, I just don't see UF rolling on SoCar's defense like they have been doing to others the last few weeks.

Everyone talks about all this team speed, but how come they don't ever seem to go undefeated, EVER?

Not saying they don't win and maybe even cover. Everytime I hear about UF, all I hear is their team speed.

With the exception of Harvin, the rest would need a body bag against Mays, if they got to play SC.

Chris Culliver is suspended for this game so keep that in mind.

Im not impressed with the Cocks pass defense or anything they do on offense. They are terrible at rushing the football.

Look for Spurrier to cover, he comes up big in games like these.

4-2 ATS against the SEC.
