Vandy will go through hell and back trying to move the ball consistently and they simply will not be able to stop the Gator running game. It would take a really bad showing Vandy to cover this line. This is the same team that lost to Northwestern Jimmy, time for your rebuttal.

All-Star Joined: Oct 2008 Posts: 12489 Location: Alabama	#4 Posted: 10/7/2012 10:52:03 PM Vandy has history working in their favor somewhat, they always play Florida better when we are unbeaten or highly ranked. 1996 it happened, 2006 it happened.. Florida won the NC both those seasons and I was at both of those games oddly enough and will be at this one. The different thing about this year is we never play Vanderbilt this early in the season, for as many years as I can remember now UF plays them in November.

All-Star Joined: Oct 2008 Posts: 12489 Location: Alabama	#5 Posted: 10/7/2012 10:54:42 PM The 2008 NC team beat Vandy really and the last two visits there have been blowouts but they have much better teams now obviously so history only goes so far. Usually the problem with this game is UF is ALWAYS coming off of a big game and the players have said playing in that atmosphere is laughable after the stadiums they see in the SEC. I imagine this time Vandy will have some fans there for a night game against a top 5 team.

Prospect Joined: Sep 2011 Posts: 154 Location: Georgia	#10 Posted: 10/7/2012 11:16:36 PM My initial thought agreed with you jwheels. I don't expect many points. Could be a 24-10 type of game. I jumped on UF -7, but it does somewhat concern me that UF sometimes plays down to their competition (like the BG game earlier) and this game is sandwiched between LSU & So Car.

That is the difference.

Prospect Joined: Aug 2009 Posts: 359 Location: Iceland	#14 Posted: 10/8/2012 6:44:34 PM Florida's offense is God awful. One solid performance against a Tennessee team that couldn't stop anybody even if they put 15 guys on the field. If LSU doesn't lose most of their LBs, I highly doubt Florida even scores in that game. The only other time Vandy played a good team at home this year, they put the clamps down on SCar and barely lost. So many better games out there. Under is probably good at anything more than 41. Otherwise why even make a play on this game?

Prospect Joined: Aug 2008 Posts: 249 Location:	#17 Posted: 10/8/2012 7:25:14 PM IMO, Vandy is decent but not in Florida's class. I expect the Gators to be bored but still win by 17+. Vandy might have 3 players max that Florida would want. Don't over-think the home field advantage here. Have you ever been to a Vandy game in Nashville? I've been to a lot. The few fans that are there are sitting on their hands waiting on Vandy to lose the game. Nuff said.
