Florida vs Auburn Prediction
Florida enters the first SEC game for both teams with the stronger offensive numbers. The Gators are averaging 59 points and 569 total yards per game, with Baugh and Hester combining for 567 rushing yards. Philo has also produced five touchdown passes while completing 76.2% of his attempts. Auburn has been strong defensively, but Brown’s three interceptions are a concern against a Florida defense with six takeaways. The Tigers have enough rushing production to keep the game close at home, but Florida has more scoring options and greater production through the air. The Gators will make the decisive plays late. Final Score Prediction: Florida Gators win, 33-27.
