This isn’t just a money line sprinkle in favor of the Seminoles, it’s a money line shower. The Gators are a hot mess, struggle defensively and have a lame duck coaching staff. Meanwhile, the Seminoles have played better football of late and have plenty of skill on the offensive side of the ball to beat up a beleaguered Gators defense.

The winner is going to a bowl, although Florida could qualify at 5-7 if there are not enough eligible teams for all the bowls. It looks like Florida may need that because they have gone in the tank. How the Gators are favored against anyone is beyond me. They have lost four straight to FBS teams, gave up 52 points to Samford and fired their coach. FSU has won five out of seven since an 0-4 start.

A bowl bid is at stake between these rivals, who both own 5-6 records. Given how their seasons are trending, Florida State figures to be more motivated to secure another game. After an 0-4 start, the Seminoles have won four of their last six games, with both defeats being by respectable margins. Florida is on an 0-5 ATS slide, with outright losses in four of its last five. Coach Dan Mullen was dismissed on Sunday. Normally, one of the coordinators would take over, but both were fired recently, so who’s in charge?
