This is a huge rivalry between a pair of programs that have put some great teams on the field over the years. This year neither is on the level of those great ones, but they are still both top level teams. As usual, this one should be a brawl. We have already gotten a preview of the Florida offense struggling once again. They managed just 24 points at home vs. Toledo last week. But, in that game we also saw the team's strength. Florida was one of the best defending teams in the country a year ago, and they won't stray far from that level again this season. Miami managed 34 points vs. Florida Atlantic, which is a bit suspect since the Owls surrendered 31 or more last season, including an average of 48 points per game vs. Georgia and Alabama. Miami is not strong on defense, but the Gators simply don't have the offense to exploit it. Florida is good enough to stop or slow down most teams with their defense. Florida has played 9-2 to the UNDER in their last 11 vs. the ACC, and Miami is 37-14 to the UNDER in their last 51 outside the conference. The U is also 54-30 UNDER in their last 84 home games and under Al Golden, they are 13-2 UNDER as a home dog. Take the UNDER.
