    Florida +8.5 over Oklahoma
    (I'll spare you guys the eight paragraph write up just this one time)

    Why?

    Because I don't think Oklahoma is 8.5 points better here.
    I'm expecting a close game either way.
    Give me the generous 8.5 here
    Gators for 50 (54 to win 50)

    How's that for a write up fellas?

    I'm also expecting a lot of football points to be scored in this here contest as well.
    Leaning the over 64 here but still not a play.
    Leaning TT over 28 on Florida as well, just a lean no play for now too.

    Florida +8.5 is a play.

    Best of luck tonight fellas, and I owe you all one big write up next time.

      Don’t want to touch spread but think OU TT of 36.5 is a good play given how bad UF’s D is and the guys they’ll be missing. I worry about UF not moving the ball as well without their big WRs, esp Pitts. That’s a huge absence for the Gators.

        there should be a fair amount of buyback on Florida +8.5 (or if it climbs higher) before kick off from those who got in on Oklahoma at anywhere from the +3 to -2.5 range

          I doubt books let people middle. Typically when you see huge line movement, it rarely lands in the middle. Probably means Gators lose by 9+ or win SU. Doubt books will allow people to cash on both Oklahoma -3 and Gators +8.5.

              I am fully aware of who is starting and who is not starting on both sides.
              But I do appreciate the input.

              Best of luck tonight lad.

                Crazy is the better word.

                Like I said I think 8.5 is generous.

                  OU +3/+3.5 was the opener which many grabbed

                  a fair portion of those same people will grab FL +8.5 or better

                  if it hits, it hits, nothing the books could do to control it either way

                      You obviously do not know how to play a middle. Rule #1. You must have at least two books to do so. Play one against the other. It is much easier in Vegas, where the books are literally across the street.

                        Oklahoma is 1-5 in the last 6 Bowl games.

                        2019 lost to LSU 63-28
                        2018 lost to Bama 45-34
                        2017 lost to Georgia 54-48

                        2016 win to Auburn 35-19
                        2015 lost to Clemson 37-17
                        2014 lost to Clemson 40-6


                        And those losses were to Baker Mayfield and Jalen Hurts who are starting in NFL.

                        I don't know how good the freshman QB is this year for Oklahoma but Oklahoma has a big problem with SEC teams.

                            Are you saying that the books control the outcome? Final scores middle moves frequently.

                                Florida (+8.5) for me as well...I posted the play earlier in my picks thread...The Gators have good and solid depth at the WR and TE positions...most of the backups got decent playing time this year!...two of the backups actually scored two td's in different games!...that goes to show how explosive this Gators offense is even when starters aren't in the game!...the key thing is the o-line is healthy and intact and MVP all-american heisman finalist QB Kyle Trask is playing...the other parts and key cogs are basically interchangeable...and the most important thing...Rule #1 of the official SBR sports gambling manifesto.."If Nash and Manster are on the same side, nail it and pound it"!...

                                  Oklahoma has the motivation to end their bad bowl run lately. Their defense has played much better and its hard to judge Florida's mentality in this game.

                                    This is a good play ! Often in these bowl games a team don't show up or uninterested because they had lofty expectations when the season started.

                                      Caesars Sportsbook by William Hill reported that 51% of the point-spread bets were on the Gators, but 73% of the money wagered was on the Oklahoma.

                                        Good Pick. Steam has been playing lately with books giving away money this holiday season. injury/dropout movement does NOT play. It's not quite that easy. Get a life if you are taking Oklahoma.

                                              I think he bet it last night. Coach doesn't like to wait for line movements.
