CITRUS BOWL: This will probably be a sleepy game for a lot of those that like offense, as the total is the lowest of all Bowls currently residing at 38.5. Neither of these teams have proven capable of moving the chains consistently. Throw in the fact that Florida is down to a backup QB, and Michigan with a healing QB in Jake Ruddock, and no reliable back up, the defenses are going to have to pave the way. Michigan started the season looking to be the most powerful defensive team we have seen in a long time. They out-scored their first six opponents 177-38, with three consecutive shutouts, and allowed 6.3 points per game. However, the last six games they have out-scored their opponents just 190-168, allowing 28 ppg. That is a huge change, while the Gators have gotten consistency all season, and that should be the difference in this one. Florida is 7-2 SU/ATS in their last nine Bowl games, while Michigan is just 2-7 straight-up. The Gators also have a huge advantage in this game as it is being played in Orlando, just 112 miles off campus, so the crowd will definitely be with them in huge numbers. Take Florida on the moneyline.
