We got ourselves a rivalry matchup in the Sunshine State this weekend. The Florida Gators will travel to Hard Rock Stadium to take on Carson Beck and the No. 4 Miami Hurricanes.
Ahead of their matchup, Greg McElroy predicted who he believes will win the game.
“I’m taking Miami. I think they’re going to absolutely roll,” McElroy said on Thursday’s Always College Football. “I’m not saying they destroy Florida by any stretch. I’m not saying that, but I do think they cover.”
McElroy went on to explain why he is picking Miami to roll in this game.
“I think Miami is really licking their chops with this opportunity. I think their defense has been retooled. I think their defensive line can take over the game.” McElroy said. “And the absence of Caleb Banks along the defensive line for the Gators will be felt significantly against this offensive line that can pound you in so many ways. I think unless Florida forces a couple turnovers, Miami wins this game by double digits.”
According to BetMGM, Miami is favored by 7.5 points going into this matchup. Florida will be looking to rebound following two losses to USF and LSU. The Gators can’t afford to drop another, as 4 of their next 5 games will come against top-10-ranked opponents.
Kickoff for this rivalry matchup is set for 7:30 p.m. ET on Saturday.
