COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Florida enters unbeaten at 4-0 with a four-game winning streak, averaging 53.5 points and 532.8 yards per game while allowing only 22.8 points and 351.3 yards per game. South Carolina is 2-2 overall, has lost two straight, and is 0-2 in conference play; it averages 38.5 points and 499.3 yards per game but has been less reliable defensively, giving up 24.8 points and 316.0 yards per game and 6.2 yards per play. Florida’s passing game has also been highly productive at 272.8 yards per game, while South Carolina has had trouble preventing efficient offense on a per-play basis.
Florida should control this game at home and score efficiently enough to separate by multiple possessions. The projected final score is Florida Gators 38, South Carolina Gamecocks 24, which supports Florida on the moneyline and an upward lean on Florida’s team scoring output. The projected total lands near 62.0, reflecting two offenses capable of moving the ball but a stronger overall case that Florida does most of the scoring work.
