Bet Florida at Kentucky

A 23-13 win over
Tennessee seemed to raise some concerns for

Florida last week, despite the fact that the Gators won their first two games by a combined score of 118-9.

Florida held the Volunteers to 210 yards of offense, but only produced 323 yards itself. Tim Tebow was 14-of-19 passing for 115 yards with an interception while rushing 24 times for 76 yards and a score. On the season, Tebow has 540 yards passing with five touchdowns to go with 148 yards rushing and three scores. Chris Rainey and Jeffrey Demps have each rushed for over 200 yards thus far for the Gators while the defense leads the SEC in points allowed and is third in yards allowed per-game.
Florida now heads to

Kentucky looking for its 23^rd-straight win over the Wildcats.

Kentucky is 2-0 on the season with a 42-0 win over
Miami (
Ohio) and a 31-27 win over

Louisville last week. The Wildcats are working on their fourth-straight winning season under coach Rich Brooks and this season, Mike Hartline has thrown for 400 yards and three touchdowns in the two games. Derrick Locke has rushed for 133 yards and two scores to lead the

Kentucky rushing attack while Randall Cobb has 13 receptions for 167 yards and two scores.
Kentucky has a bit of revenge on its mind for

Florida after getting embarrassed 63-5 in the Swamp last season.

Oddsmakers from online sports book SPORTSBETTING.com have made
Florida 21.5-point road favorites over

Kentucky on Saturday night. The over/under total for this game has been established at 54.
