Florida vs Oklahoma Prediction

Florida is coming into this matchup as a 1.5 point underdog with the current betting odds according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Both of these teams have been playing very well to start the season but Oklahoma has already lost a game this season while Florida remains undefeated. Florida has had a much tougher schedule to start than Oklahoma has had and they have pulled off some upsets already against multiple ranked opponents in their 6 games to start the season. Florida is the better team here and they will find a way to win this game like they have all season. The best bet to place in this game is on Florida to cover the spread and to win the game straight up on the moneyline..
