Seven points.
That’s how much the Gators football team is favored over the Miami Hurricanes in its season opener on Aug. 24. If you’ve been keeping up with social media, though, you’d think Florida was favored by a million. Gator fans – and players, for that matter – have essentially guaranteed a Florida victory at Camping World Stadium in Orlando, with linebacker Andrew Chatfield even declaring that the Hurricanes were not a challenge.
But should they be so confident?
I don’t think so.
See, Florida has faced quite a few different opponents to open the season over the last 10 years.
