Texas at Florida Preview & Picks
Florida are tipped to cover as a home betting underdog.
The Gators offense is a mess, but the defense is an elite unit that can make life tough for Arch Manning and ensure the Longhorns do not run away with this.
- Florida have allowed just 16 points per game over their last 3 games
- Texas are 1-3-0 ATS in their 4 games so far
- The Under has cashed in all 4 of Florida’s games so far
- The Over has hit in 3 of Texas’ 4 games this season
Head To Head
- Texas lead the all-time series 3-0-1
- Texas won 49-17 when the two teams last met in November 2024
Texas Form
Texas head out on the road having rebounded from a season-opening defeat with three consecutive victories.
The Longhorns came into the season as the favourites to win the national championship, but their stock has dropped through the first four weeks as Arch Manning has struggled.
They opened the campaign with a trip to defending national champions Ohio State, and managed just one touchdown as they suffered a 14-7 defeat to the Buckeyes.
Texas have rebounded to win three straight at home though, albeit against lesser opposition.
The Longhorns got off the mark with a 38-7 victory over San Jose State, and backed that up by beating UTEP 27-10 and Sam Houston 55-0.
Florida Form
Florida enter this matchup in desperate need of a victory, having lost each of their last three games to fall to 1-3.
The Gators came into the new campaign with head coach Billy Napier under serious pressure, and nothing has changed after four games.
They opened the season with a 55-0 victory over a weak LIU team, but they failed to back that up a week later as they suffered a shock 18-16 home defeat to USF.
Florida then went out on the road over the next two weeks to face two top-five teams, and there was no improvement in form before the bye.
The Gators were beaten 20-10 by LSU in their opening SEC matchup, before heading to Miami for a 26-7 defeat to the Hurricanes.
Verdict
Texas are backed to come away with the win, but their offensive struggles are a big red flag.
Florida’s defense has shown its quality in the losses to both LSU and Miami, so we are taking the Gators and the free points in this one.
