SportsLine's model revealed its best bets for the No. 7 Texas Longhorns vs. Florida Gators in a Saturday SEC matchup

• 2 min read

A pair of four-win teams in the SEC will clash on Saturday's college football schedule as the No. 7 Texas Longhorns (4-1, 1-1 SEC) host the Florida Gators (4-2, 2-2 SEC). The Longhorns lost their No. 1 ranking with a 27-24 Red River Rivalry defeat to Oklahoma last week. The Gators have suffered back-to-back losses of 19-plus points to Missouri and South Carolina, falling out of the Top 25 in the process. Arch Manning is 11-0 in his college career at home. Florida quarterback Aaron Philo is listed as questionable on the availability report, with sophomore Tramell Jones Jr. set to fill in. Visit our Kalshi promo code review and get a $55 bonus after $25+ in trades with the Kalshi promo code CBSSPORTS55:

Top Florida vs. Texas predictions

After simulating Texas vs. Florida 10,000 times, SportsLine model is going Over 50.5 points at betting apps. Both teams have leaned over this season, with it being a combined 7-4 for the two squads. Florida has seen almost nothing but high-scoring affairs all year as its six games have averaged 70.7 combined points. Meanwhile, Texas' vaunted defense has dominated inferior opponents in allowing just 6.5 points to Group of 6 programs, but the Longhorns have given up 22.3 points in three games versus power conference teams.

Florida running back Jadan Baugh, who leads the nation with 12 touchdowns, is expected to exploit that defense with a 100-yard game on the ground. In the passing game, the quarterbacks are projected to combine for over three passing touchdowns, on average, with them combining for over 500 yards of total offense.

The model projects 52 combined points, giving value to the Over in 51% of the time. See the model's Florida vs. Texas spread and money-line picks at SportsLine.
