Florida State vs. Florida preview: Predictions, streaming, odds, and how to watch Saturday's game
The Florida State Seminoles, who are still undefeated with an 11-0 record, are set to play their final game of the regular season against the Florida Gators (5-6). Unfortunately, they will have to do it without quarterback Jordan Travis.
Florida State quarterback Jordan Travis suffered a lower left leg injury during the Week 12 58-13 win against North Alabama and has announced over social media that his Seminole career is over. Travis made Florida State history by being the only player to rank in the top 10 in career passing touchdowns and rushing touchdowns. The Seminoles backup quarterback, Tate Rodemaker, will now lead the team against the Gators. He completed 13-of-23 passes for 217 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions against North Alabama.
On the Gators' side, quarterback Graham Mertz is recovering from a nondisplaced collarbone fracture he suffered in the Gators’ 33-31 loss to Missouri and will not be available for the final regular-season game. Redshirt junior Maz Brown stepped in for the injured Mertz and completed four of five passes for 56 yards and ran for 42 yards against Missouri and is expected to start against Florida State.

No. 5 Florida State vs. Florida Predictions
ESPN: Seminoles have 81.6% chance of winning
According to ESPN's Matchup Predictor, the Florida State Seminoles have a 81.6% chance of betting the Florida Gators in Week 13.
Covers: Florida State -9.5
Staff writes: "Even though both teams are already bowl-eligible, I think Florida State is the team with more to play for. The Seminoles are on the rise and a win against the Gators would make them 2-0 against Florida and Miami this season, allowing FSU to proclaim itself the best program in the state to new recruits. Throw in the motivation of wanting to win the Sunshine Showdown for the first time since 2017, and the Seminoles look like a solid bet to win this one by double-digits."
