The Florida Gators have won the last nine meetings in this series<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Florida is coming off a bye week after suffering a humiliating 42-21 setback to the Alabama Crimson Tide as 14-point road underdogs Sept. 20, while going OVER the betting total for the third consecutive contest to open up the 2014 campaign.\u00a0 The Gators have won a series-best nine consecutive games against the Volunteers, which can\u2019t be ignored when making your Week 6 college football betting picks, as they\u2019ve outscored them by a 281-143 margin.\u00a0 Florida is 5-5 SU and 6-4 ATS in true road games the last two-plus seasons, with no clear edge in terms of the total (5-5 Over\/Under).<\/p>\n

The Gators lead the nation with a plus-eight turnover margin, which is important to consider when looking over the college football betting lines, especially since they\u2019ve forced 12 turnovers thus far\u2014the most through three games during the Will Muschamp era.\u00a0 Florida has developed an up-tempo offense under new coordinator Kurt Roper, as it has averaged 78.3 plays per game thus far.\u00a0 Offensively, all eyes will be on quarterback Jeff Driskel, who has compiled a 14-4 SU record as the school\u2019s starter.<\/p>\n

Tennessee has put together a 10-2 record in Noon kickoff games at home since 2010, including a 4-2 mark when taking on Southeastern Conference opponents.\u00a0 The Volunteers lead the nation in defensive third down percentage, as they\u2019ve limited opponents to a 20.8 percent conversion rate\u2014an even more impressive number consider they\u2019ve played the likes of Oklahoma and Georgia so far.\u00a0 Tennessee is 2-4 SU ATS when the betting line is +3 to -3 the last two-plus seasons, with no clear edge in terms of the total (3-3 Over\/Under).<\/p>\n

The Volunteers have a youthful look on the field this season, as they\u2019ve played 22 true freshmen\u2014the highest number nationally among FBS programs.\u00a0 Tennessee has captured seven of its last 10 games at Neyland Stadium, as the team continues to show improvement on a weekly basis after being the only squad in the country without a returning starter on the offensive or defensive line to start the season.<\/p>\n

Sports bettors will likely back the Gators due to their 5-3 SUATS mark in Weeks 5 through 9 since the start of the 2012 season.<\/p>\n
