Just one day remains before the Florida Gators host the South Florida Bulls in Ben Hill Griffin Stadium for Week 3 of college football action.
Both teams enter the game with 1-1 records after splitting their respective opening pair of matchups, with the Gators triumphing over the Utah Utes before dropping one to the Kentucky Wildcats; USF took an L against the BYU Cougars while mustering a V over the Howard Bisons in Week 2.
The Orange and Blue won both previous matchups against USF— in 2011 and last season —which were played at home and away, respectively. It appears the bookmakers are still extremely bullish on the home team making it three in a row this weekend.
The lines
Today, the Gators are still favored by a 24.5-point spread over the Bulls as the odds still remain unchanged, according to BetMGM. Here are the full odds as of 9:50 a.m. EDT Friday.

Composite Expert Prediction
The Gators Wire roundtable is in unanimous consensus on the outcome, with all six respondents predicting a margin greater than two touchdowns and five of those calling for at least a 25-point difference in the final score.
Interestingly, while there were some discrepancies in how the entire roundtable foresees the offense performing, we all agreed that the defense would show up, with USF’s point total all landing within seven points of each other.
The Gators take this one in a rout to make it three in a row over their in-state sibling.
