Kentucky vs Florida Prediction & Pick

The Gators rushed for 284 yards at 7.4 yards per rush against Utah’s elite run defense. Duel threat QB Anthony Richardson led the way with 106 rushing yards and 3 touchdowns. That stronger point-of-attack play on both sides figures to wear down Kentucky in the humidity.

The Wildcats had just 50 yards rushing in their misleading win last week over Miami, Ohio. Kentucky star RB Chris Rodriguez, Jr. remains out (suspension). Sixth-year senior LB Jordan White is expected to return.

Final Score Prediction: Florida: 27 | Kentucky: 17

Kentucky vs Florida Best Bet

All NCAAF betting lines, odds and prop bets are available on FanDuel Sportsbook.

Kentucky needed a kick return TD and near fumble return TD to pull away from Miami (OH) in the second half last week. Florida has more offensive ability and stronger red zone play and can wear down Wildcats in humidity with potential rain also in the forecast.
