If you’ve followed the Florida-Tennessee betting line this week, you’ve noticed the line has tightened significantly.
The line opened as high as -10 according to Vegas Insider, and one book (Cantor Gaming) has seen five times more money bet on the Gators to cover the spread than the Volunteers.
Florida @ Tennessee (-5, 41.5): Five times as much money has been bet on the Gators as the Vols @CGTechnology_, per @jsimbal.

UF enters the game forced to start its backup quarterback, Austin Appleby, but is playing near perfect on defense. UT is looking to give coach Butch Jones a signature victory and silence its doubters after underwhelming home wins against Appalachian State and Ohio.
Florida and Tennessee meet at 3:30 p.m. ET on CBS.
