Florida is favored by four and a half points on the road with a total in the mid 50s. That is a modest number for a top 10 team against a No. 25 opponent, which reflects Missouri’s strength at home and some caution about Florida’s first road trip since its big win.

How Both Teams Got Here
Florida is 4 and 0 in Jon Sumrall’s first season and made the biggest move in the country last week by beating then No. 4 Ole Miss by 24 in Gainesville. Running back Jadan Baugh has five straight 100 yard games and has pushed into the Heisman conversation. Missouri is 3 and 1 under Eli Drinkwitz after a 31 to 24 loss at Mississippi State, which dropped the Tigers six spots to No. 25.
What to Watch
Baugh and the Florida running game against a Missouri defense that gave up the go ahead drive in Starkville is the key matchup. Florida’s challenge is handling success: the Gators are ranked this high for the first time since 2020 and now face a hostile road crowd. Missouri needs a win to stay in the SEC race and in the rankings.
