We witnessed the line on the Wildcats vs. Gators dip from -6 to -5 in an hour, drop down to -4.5 and, since that time, it's climbed back up to -6. Gather from that what you may.  Some prop bets appear below.  Player props for the Kentucky-Florida game should be available by Saturday morning.

Sagarin has Florida (82.11) with a power rating of 82.11 and Kentucky (19) at 81.04.  We arrive at a line of Florida -3, maybe -3.5.

Pete Flutak of CollegeFootballNews warns:

"Don’t dismiss the 37-13 win over Miami University – the RedHawks have a dangerous offense and should be a factor in the MAC race".

He also suggests that "the pressure will be on Kentucky to try controlling the tempo even more than it normally does."

Athlon Sports notes that "the Kentucky-Florida rivalry has given several close contests recently, and Saturday probably won't be any different."

Four of the last five in the series has resulted in a win of 11 or fewer points.

This game should very much stay within the Sagarin calculations.

The moneyline is attractive here as Florida has gone 21-4 Straight Up as a home favorite since 2017.  The Double/Double looks juicy but, as pointed out above, these meetings have been close.  We could see a game where Kentucky is leading after the first half. 

Kentucky entered the season favored to win OVER 8 regular season games.  The Wildcats have the potential to become the 5th loss for Florida as a home favorite.   BUT...

Kentucky is 6-11 Straight Up since 2017 as an away underdog, just enough of a sampling that the 35.3% stands out like a sore thumb. 

Florida was seeing around 65% of the spread action. 

The Florida Double Result works here since the price is just -105 compared to what you'd be paying on the moneyline.

As millennials became the dominant market for gambling, it was clear that they were not the same generation as their predecessors.
