What Are the Regular Season Wins Total Odds for the Florida Gators - 2022?

The Florida Gators are expected to improve over last season, according to the oddsmakers at BetOnline.  They have the Gators winning 8 or more regular season games at -130 compared to the 6 won in 2021.

New coach Billy Napier spoke at the podium on SEC Media Days:

"This is a first-year staff at a new place with a new roster. We’ve got a lot of players and a lot of staff that are learning our way, right? A lot of new roles. There’s lots of roles to be determined on our team. We’ve got a core group of veteran players. We have a big portion of our team we think has ability, but it’s inexperienced and needs to develop. Then we’ve brought in some young talent, high school, ju-co and transfer players. About 34 new players overall.

"I like this group. I think they’ve got a chip on their shoulder. They’re excited about the opportunity to earn some respect. Reality is in college football, 25 to 30%, every year you’re going to have attrition. You’re always a work in progress, whether it’s year one or it’s year ten."
