Joel Klatt will be on the broadcast this weekend for the game between Indiana and Ohio State on Fox at 12 p.m. ET. While he is unable to make a prediction the game the game he is broadcasting, there are plenty of other games in Week 13 he can make predictions on.
One of the games he is breaking down is No. 9 Ole Miss at Florida on Saturday. While he likes the Rebels to win the game, he does think the Gators are going to make this game closer than the betting line of 10.5 points at FanDuel Sportsbook.
“There is something about the way this Florida team has gotten better,” Klatt said. “The way they are playing, they get their coach and the vote of confidence that he is coming back. You get (QB DJ) Lagway and you’re building towards the future, and then you get a little bit of pressure on Ole Miss. When you are playing to not lose, you generally don’t play your best. Ole Miss might get wide receiver Tre Harris back, and he leads the country with 141 yards receiving per game. That Ole Miss defensive line is dominant, and that is why they are going to win.
“I do think Ole Miss is going to win. I just think Florida covers the 10.5. So I can see a game like Ole Miss 35-28. That makes sense to me. So I’ve got Florida. I’m going to take the 10.5, but I’ve got Ole Miss winning the game.”
The Rebels are in a great position to earn a spot in the College Football Playoff, as long as the team can win its last 2 games.
