Florida is experiencing the expected growing pains of a new coach in their first season under Todd Golden and has struggled to consistently execute to start the season. While center Colin Castleton is a good player, Auburn has great defenders down low and should be able to slow him down.
Auburn’s defense should be able to take advantage of the Gator’s offense and lead Auburn to their 11th win of the season and let them cover the 5.5-point spread.
