Florida Gators CFB Week 13 Betting Lines
The Florida Gators have a big decision to make in the next few weeks. Florida head coach Billy Napier has a team that has shown more competitiveness but is not where it needs to be after three seasons. Last week, the Gators hosted the LSU Tigers. Florida showed great resiliency in beating handily as a decided home dog. This week, the Gators have a difficult home game against the Ole Miss Rebels. It is the Senior Day home finale. Gamblers and fans wonder which Florida team we will get on Saturday.

Florida Gators Weekly Recap
Last game, the Florida Gators won 27-16 against the LSU Tigers as 3.5-point home dogs. The game went under the total of 57. Florida has a record of 5-5 straight up, 6-4 against the spread, and 6-4 over/under the total. Florida ranks 80th for total offense, 64th for passing, 81st for rushing and 66th for scoring.

For the first time since 2018, the Florida Gators have defeated the LSU Tigers.
A seven-sack effort from the Gators' defensive front, late offensive heroics, and a pass breakup on fourth down from Trikweze Bridges led to Florida snapping its five-game losing streak in the series in a 27-16 upset over the No. 22 team in the nation. It was the longest losing streak for the Gators in the rivalry's history, and the win snapped a two-game losing streak in the middle of the season.
It was also Florida's first win over a ranked opponent since the win over Tennessee last season.
"I think you've got to give this group of kids a ton of credit," head coach Billy Napier said. "Relative to the resiliency they've showed, I think for me there's a purpose behind the game, and that starts with the players."
Florida's inability to get off the field on third down, fourth-down conversions in the fourth quarter, and continual control of the clock nearly led to the game slipping out of the Gators' hands. The Tigers converted 13 of its 24 third downs, had 92 plays to the Gators' 43, and had the ball for over 41 minutes of game time.
However, it was the heroics of the Gators' defensive front - led by Caleb Banks' one sack, two forced fumbles, and three hurries - a deep-threat passing connection between DJ Lagway and Elijhah Badger along with a 55-yard touchdown run from Jadan Baugh's late in the fourth quarter that ultimately won the game.

The Florida Gators are not a traditional power but a recent one. Florida has three national championships (1996, 2006, 2008) and eight conference titles, all of which came in 1991 or after. Steve Spurrier is the greatest Gator who ever lived. Spurrier won the 1966 Heisman Trophy as quarterback and placekicker. Subsequently, he returned to lead Florida to the 1996 national championship and six SEC titles.
Another legendary head coach at Florida was Urban Meyer. Meyer led the Gators to two national titles with Heisman Trophy winning QB Tim Tebow. Other famed Gator players include Emmitt Smith, Danny Wuerffel, Jack Youngblood, and Wilber Marshall.
Florida has proven to be a difficult place for coaches to live. Spurrier is the GOAT of Florida coaches but left because the fans turned too demanding after he made the Gators into a national power. Meyer had multiple nervous breakdowns and had to leave when things turned south. Dan Mullen was run out less than a year after almost leading the Gators to the national championship.
