Fresh off a dominant upset, the Florida Gators' high-octane offense prepares to dismantle a depleted Missouri defense.
ABC is set to host yet another top-25 SEC showdown as the No. 8 Florida Gators head to Memorial Stadium to do battle with No. 25 Missouri.
Does this Missouri team still deserve to be in the AP Top 25? Only time will tell.
Heisman hopeful running back Jadan Baugh has been an absolute machine this season, and the Gators are hoping that stays the same here in this one.
Quarterback Aaron Philo will likely be without his leading receiver, but Missouri lost a pair of difference-making EDGE rushers, so there's still plenty of room for the Gators offense to look as good as ever.
Florida drops another 40 points
The Gators scored 66 points in Week 1 against Florida Atlantic, 52 in Week 2 against Campbell, and then dropped 44 at Auburn and 52 on Ole Miss.
To score 52 points at home against the previously ranked No. 4 Rebels is insane, and that word isn't even giving this offense enough credit.
What Jon Sumrall has done to this offense is remarkable, and there's no reason they can't go to Mizzou and do exactly what they did at Auburn.
Playing on the road doesn't scare this Gators team, far from it, and if WR Vernell Brown III doesn't suit up, this offense still has what it takes to run wild against the Tigers.
Austin Simmons throws his first interception
Florida has four interceptions in its first four games, so why not keep the one-per-game streak alive?
Mizzou QB Austin Simmons is a Florida native himself, but the Ole Miss transfer has been on fire this season.
In his senior year, Simmons has thrown 11 touchdowns without a single interception.
Coming off a year where he had four touchdowns to five interceptions with the Rebels, this has been an incredible turnaround, but Missouri had a cupcake non-conference schedule, and he completed just 59% of his passes a week ago against No. 24 Mississippi State.
Gators win by double-digits
According to ESPN Analytics, Florida has a 70.1% chance to win this game. Now that they're a top-10 team, they have to live up to the hype, and they should be able to do just that in Columbia, MO.
DraftKings, which partners with ESPN, has Florida as a 5.5-point favorite. The Gators may have only opened as 2.5-point favorites, but that feels quite disrespectful to a team that just beat the No. 4-ranked team by 24 points.
