Florida vs Texas A&M Prediction

The current betting odds have Texas A&M listed as a 3 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Texas A&M has been having a bad season as there is no chance they even go to the SEC Title game and they are sitting pretty much at the bottom of their division, but they haven't been as bad in their games as their record suggests. They have been losing a lot of games but a lot of those losses have been by 1 score and even within a field goal. Florida hasn't been any better in their games this year as they have been struggling to beat good teams and they have also had it pretty easy for most of the season as they have only played in 1 road game. Now they are finishing the season with 3 road games in their final 4 and it is going to be very tough for them to adjust to playing on the road this late in the season. They are also coming off a loss to Georgia which they put a lot of effort into that game so this will be a letdown spot for them while Texas A&M is looking to bounce back after another close loss to Ole Miss by 3 points. Texas A&M has had a good defense all season but now their offense is starting to roll and they will finally get a much needed win here at home. The best way to place a bet here is on Texas A&M to cover the spread in this game.
 
Florida Texas A&M Prediction:  Our NCAAF Pick for Saturday, November 5, 2022 (12:00 pm ET start time) is Texas A&M 35 Florida 27.
