A new-look SEC football matchup kicks off from the Forty Acres as No. 5 Texas returns from its idle week against Florida. Here’s what the oddsmakers are predicting for the game early on.

Florida had Georgia on the ropes last week, tying its rival in the fourth quarter, but couldn’t stop two late scores that dropped the team to 4-4 and lost its second quarterback of the season in the process as DJ Lagway went down.

Texas sits at 3-1 in SEC play after escaping Vanderbilt with a three-point victory two weeks ago and has less margin for error in the playoff race after a 15-point loss to Georgia before that.

What do the wiseguys expect from this SEC matchup?

Let’s take a look at the early predictions for Texas vs. Florida in this Week 11 college football game, according to the oddsmakers.

Spread consensus picks, score prediction

A slight majority of bettors are expecting the Longhorns to dominate the Gators, according to the early spread consensus picks for the game.

Texas is getting 51 percent of bets to win the game by at least 22 points and cover the big point spread.

The other 49 percent of wagers project Florida will either win outright in the upset, or more likely, will keep the final score at 21 points or fewer.

The game’s implied score suggests a comfortable victory for the Longhorns.

When taking the point spread and total into consideration, it’s implied that Texas will defeat Florida by a projected score of 35 to 13.

Our early pick: Florida +21.5 ... Florida likely relying on its third-string quarterback will certainly hurt this offense, and Texas certainly wins this game, but this roster is still playing hard for Billy Napier and in some very close games, averaging just 0.1 points worse than opponents this season.
