out, as it suffered a 17-6 defeat to the LSU Tigers as nine-point road underdogs last Saturday, while going UNDER the betting total of 49.5.\u00a0 Among the six teams remaining on the Gators schedule\u2014four of them are represented in the Top 15 in national polls.\u00a0 In its last 18 regular-season games, the program has compiled a 15-3 record, which is important to consider when making your college football betting predictions in Week 8.\u00a0 Florida is 4-2 SUATS as road favorites the last two-plus seasons, with the UNDER going 4-2 in that situation.<\/p>\n<p>The Gators have dominated the middle portion of games this season, as they\u2019ve outscored opponents a combined 79-26 in the second and third quarters.\u00a0 Florida is 11-of-13 scoring in the red zone in its last four games after starting the year 6-of-12 in its first two games.\u00a0 The team hasn\u2019t turned the ball over in its last two contests, which can\u2019t be ignored when looking over the college football odds page.\u00a0 The program has been hit hard by injuries, with seven players suffering season-ending injuries, including five potential starters.<\/p>\n<p>Missouri is fresh off its first road victory over a Top 10 team since 1981, as it picked up a 41-26 victory over the Georgia Bulldogs as 6.5-point underdogs last Saturday, while going OVER the betting total for the third time in four contests.\u00a0 The Tigers moved to 6-0 for the third time 13 seasons under head coach Gary Pinkel, is they attempt to start 3-0 in conference play for the first time since the 2010 campaign.\u00a0 Missouri is 5-9 SU and 8-6 ATS as underdogs the last two-plus seasons, with the OVER going 9-5 in those 14 opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>The Tigers have caused a turnover in 36-straight games, which is the longest active streak in the BCS.\u00a0 Missouri\u2019s spread offenses is known for its passing proficiency, but it\u2019s also averaging 239.3 rushing yards per game, which sits behind just one other team in the SEC.\u00a0 Offensively, the team will be moving on without the services of quarterback James Franklin, who is likely out for the rest of the regular season with a shoulder injury.<\/p>\n<p>Sports bettors will find that the Tigers are 5-1 ATS in their last six conference affairs.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t miss out on a winning season and let the college football
