The Florida Gators\nwill have an opportunity to take out some frustration on Saturday.\nFlorida is unlikely to win the SEC East and return to the SEC\nChampionship Game after their third straight loss to Georgia in the\nWorld\u2019s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party, but the Gators can still\nclinch their second straight 10-win season. They are 7-2 and will be\nfavored per the college\nfootball betting<\/a> odds in their final three games,\nincluding this week when they host the 2-6 Vanderbilt Commodores in\nGainesville.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

VANDERBILT COMMODORES AT FLORIDA GATORS
CFB LINE: -26.5
CFB TOTAL: 49<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This line has risen\nsince it was released on Sunday. Florida was initially a 24.5-point\nfavorite over Vanderbilt, but that clearly wasn\u2019t enough points.\nThe Gators are now favored by 26.5 points against the Commodores, and\nthe total has risen too. This over\/under was initially lined at 47,\nbut it has since moved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RECENT HISTORY<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Vanderbilt hasn\u2019t\nhad much success against Florida. The Commodores have only defeated\nthe Gators once in the last 30 years, beating them 34-17 in The Swamp\nin 2013. That led to Will Muschamp being fired and James Franklin\nbeing hired at Penn State, and that showcases the type of seismic\nshift it takes for Vandy to beat Florida.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHEN VANDERBILT HAS THE BALL<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Commodores are\nunlikely to have quarterbacks Riley Neal or Mo Hasan available\nagainst the Gators on Saturday. Derek Mason told the media on Tuesday\nthat both signal callers are still dealing with the effects of\nconcussions, and that they are both considered doubtful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Neal and Hasan have\nbeen Vandy\u2019s two best quarterbacks, so that news is huge. Neal has\ncompleted 58.6 percent of his passes and is averaging 6.4 YPA for the\nCommodores this season. He has given a bad offense a steady hand as a\ngrad transfer from Ball State, but he has played sparingly since\nVanderbilt lost to UNLV in mid-October, throwing just 12 passes in\nthat stretch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those injuries mean\nthat Deuce Wallace is likely going to start for Vanderbilt this week.\nWallace has not played well despite seeing action in six games,\ncompleted 33 of 76 passes for 217 yards with three interceptions and\nno touchdowns. He is completing just 43.4 percent of his passes and\naveraging under 3.0 YPA, and those are horrific numbers. Wallace\nhasn\u2019t even been a good running threat, and he will likely struggle\nagainst a very good Florida secondary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vanderbilt will want\nto run the ball with Ke\u2019Shawn Vaughn as much as possible. Vaughn\nhas done a good job moving the chains considering the issues the\nCommodores have on offense. He is averaging 5.2 YPC and has become\nmore of a threat to catch the ball out of the backfield, helping his\nquarterbacks out as needed. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Gators are healthy on defense, and they aren\u2019t going to allow many points against the Commodores\u2019 one-dimensional offense as long as neither Neal nor Hasan suit up. Vanderbilt will be fortunate to get to 10 points. That Commodores\u2019 team total is 12.5 points<\/a>, so the under is a great bet here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHEN FLORIDA HAS THE BALL<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Kyle Trask has done\na great job in Dan Mullen\u2019s offense. While Trask isn\u2019t as much of\na mobile threat as Mullen likes, he has been willing to run the ball\nenough that defenses have to somewhat respect his mobility, allowing\nother things to open up. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trask has proven to\nbe a solid passer. While he hasn\u2019t been as accurate as Feleipe\nFranks, he has played well against much stiffer competition. Trask\nhas completed 63.8 percent of his passes and is averaging 8.0 YPA in\nSEC play. He has 16 touchdowns against four interceptions, making\ngood use of a talented receiving corps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lamical Perine has\nrun well behind a mediocre offensive line, but he will get a chance\nto shine on Saturday. Vanderbilt\u2019s defense is allowing 5.2 YPC, and\nopponents are averaging over 200 yards per game against this team.\nThe Commodores defense should be pretty gassed given the amount of\ntime they will be on the field, so Perine\u2019s player\nprop odds<\/a> should have good value. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PREDICTION<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Florida can name the score in this game. The Gators have far more talent on both sides of the ball, and the Commodores are outside of the top 100 in total offense and total defense. This is the type of game where you let out frustration, so expect Florida to roll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
