COLLEGE FOOTBALL FREE PICK: Bowling Green is 16-6 ATS L22 in road openers since 1990. The Falcons are a four-touchdown underdog against the underachieving Gators. Florida named Jeff Driskel the starting quarterback though he’s going to alternate with sophomore Jacoby Brisett for at least the first half and beyond. That’s never a good thing to not have confidence in your starting quarterback in the first game. The Falcons return QB Matt Schilz (3,024yds, 28 TDs, 13 INTs) who posted five games last year where he threw at least 3 TD passes. TB Anthon Samuel ran for 844 yards and had five 100-yard games. Most of the key defensive players return. This is a squad that can give Florida a game for at least a half. Expect this one to be closer than expected.
