Miami Florida at Florida

How far this game has dropped in National significance? A lot. But this is still a heated battle with recruiting implications. Miami was a QB factory for many years, but the past few seasons they have had to rely on a competent defense to keep them in games. Florida rang up 56 on a very under-manned Hawaii team last week, but a closer look shows that special teams and defense accounted for three touchdowns. The offense scored from big plays with three coming outside the red-zone. Things will not come that easy for Florida this week and Miami has the team speed and athleticism to slow the Florida big play attack. Miami on offense has one chance here. They have to run right up the gut of the Florida defense, which is the youngest and most experieinced part of the Gators team. If they have success here, it limits Tebow and the Florida offense. Miami is 17-7 UNDER in all games over the past couple of seasons and they will struggle to score here. I see this game as more of a grind than many expect, and therefore will go with the UNDER here.
