Florida vs. Utah: Tipico’s Monday betting odds for season-opener
The college football season is nearly nigh as Florida football gets set to embark on its first season under new head coach Billy Napier against the Utah Utes. The program looks to turn the page from the Dan Mullen era and get off to a strong start against a difficult non-conference opponent.
The Gators host the projected top-25 visitors while sitting far outside of the top-25 rankings to start the season. Despite the Utes’ superior status in the polls coming into the game, the Gators are expected to give the visitors some trouble in what will be a humid night in the Swamp. However, the bookmakers are a bit bearish on the Orange and Blue to start the week.
