#10 Florida (-5) over Arkansas, Saturday 2:30 PM (CT), Razorback Stadium

This is the trickiest game of the weekend to predict for several reasons. For one, I’m still not convinced that the Gators are good. In fact, I likely won’t be sold on the Gators until I see them playing in Atlanta. A few other factors to consider is that the Razorbacks are coming off a much needed bye week and they are playing at home.

Normally, this would be the type of game where I would probably pick the underdog. However, that directly contradicts rule #2 from the list that I made last week so I’m going with the Gators. Arkansas will struggle to protect Austin Allen as they have all season and the Gators defense will take advantage of it. Florida’s offense is still not worthy of trust, but I think they continue to ride their defense and make enough plays to cover in this one. Florida 28, Arkansas 20
