Tennessee vs Florida Predictions and Picks
"Florida's will to defend the run appears to be fading as the Gators plunge deeper into what's become a hopeless season. At 3-7, Florida has officially been disqualified from contention for a bowl game and now must deal with a Tennessee offense that still has explosive potential. Crippling turnovers have been an Achilles heel for the Volunteers this season, but the Gators have actually been worse in that department. This is the time for Tennessee to end its 10-game losing streak in The Swamp. Pick: Tennessee." — David Cobb, CBS Sports
"Since 1977, the Vols have played against Florida in Gainesville 19 times… and won twice .... we need to see Tennessee leading Florida on the scoreboard when the clock strikes zero and the teams, the refs, and fans, and maybe even the cleaning crews have left the stadium. Until then, we just can't live with ourselves if we make the call for the Vols. We have decades of research telling us what's going to happen Saturday night. Florida 25, Tennessee 23." — Mark Nagi, Saturday Down South
"At home, the Gator defense will keep the game in range so the offense doesn't have to do anything too crazy .... After all the drama and all of the problems, pulling this off would be a huge moment .... But much like the Georgia loss, the team with a bit more pop will pull through late. Tennessee 27, Florida 23." — Pete Fiutak, College Football News
