Vanderbilt at Florida Picks & Betting Tips


An upset in ‘The Swamp’ is highly unlikely, but Vanderbilt could cover a massive spread.

The Commodores are not a good football team but Florida can be their own worst enemy at times.

The Gators offense is one-dimensional and has been sloppy with the football this season.

Defensively they have not been ‘lights out’ either, so we could see them fail to win by at least 39.

  • Florida lost to unranked Kentucky last weekend (-7.5 favorites)
  • Florida are 2-3-0 ATS this season
  • Florida are 0-2-0 ATS when 23.5 point or greater favorites this season
  • Florida’s offense has racked up 7 giveaways

Head To Head


  • Florida lead the all-time series 42-10-2
  • Florida won 38-17 when these two teams met last season
  • Florida have beaten Vanderbilt in each of the past 7 seasons

Vanderbilt Form


Vanderbilt go into this game on the back of their first win since early September.

The Commodores slumped to a 23-3 defeat to East Tennessee State in their season-opener.

They rebounded to beat Colorado State 24-21 but quickly returned to losing ways as they were beaten 41-23 by Stanford.

Vanderbilt were then blown out 62-0 by #2 Georgia at home before edged Connecticut 30-28 last week.

QB Ken Seals is 92/163 for 984 yards, five touchdowns and five interceptions.

Will Sheppard and Chris Pierce are his favorite targets, combining for 578 yards and three TDs.

RBs Rocko Griffin and Re’Mahn Davis have combined for 470 yards from scrimmage and two scores.

Florida Form


Florida are just above .500 for the season following a shock defeat on the road last weekend.

The Gators made a solid start to the season with wins over Florida Atlantic (35-14) and South Florida (42-20).

Their perfect start ended with a 31-29 defeat to #1 Alabama, but they received plenty of praise as they came agonisingly close to completing a famous fightback.

Florida did get the better of Tennessee, 38-14, a week later, but that was followed by a surprise 20-13 loss at Kentucky.

QB Emory Jones has 870 passing yards and six passing touchdowns, as well as 432 yards rushing and two scores. However, has been careless with the football, throwing six picks.

Jones is the team’s leading rusher ahead of Anthony Richards, who has 300 yards and two scores.

The run game is what this team is built on with Malik Davis (281 yards, three scores) and Demeon Pierce (226 yards, five TDs) also enjoying productive seasons.

Jacob Copeland is the notable threat in the passing game. He has 291 yards and two TDs.
