Summary:
Florida has played an easy schedule so far so it will be interesting to see how they respond to their first real test of the season. Statistically they are the best defense in the country so far but they’ll have their hands full with Joshua Dobbs and Jalen Hurd. Tennessee surprisingly has struggled against weaker competition and played their best game under the bright lights against Virginia Tech. This should be a low-scoring game with two great defenses going head to head. Tennessee has not played their best football yet and I think their ceiling this year is very high. Tennessee has a little more firepower on offense so I’m taking them to win in front of their home crowd.
