Tennessee Volunteers vs Florida Gators Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 01/10/26

The fact that the unranked Gators are laying a decent tag to the ranked Volunteers should be a warning in itself. We can simply go off that reason alone to get behind the Gators but there is more. This is beyond the sharp angle of backing an unranked favorite against a ranked underdog.

Is it a rivalry? Absolutely. But nothing is bigger than Georgia-Florida and the Gators just whacked their arch nemesis in Gainesville on Tuesday in game that same plenty of animas and flagrant fouling. The market’s philosophy is simple here – the Gators are in a let-down spot after throttling the team they despise the most. The Dawgs and Gators aren’t just hardcourt rivals, they are rivals in life. These universities have been known to mix it up even over gymnastics. However, the Gators will reload here and pick up where they left off against the ranked Volunteers who despite their shiny ranking have yet to win a game on the road, this season. That is a significant talking point. The Vols have floundered at both Arkansas and Syracuse, two schools with animated environments. The problem is the O’Connell Center at this juncture maybe even more hostile. The Gators have not abandoned hope of a retention as national champion and the road to March starts with picking up wins against ranked foes in succession. First comes the Dawgs, now come the Vols, and Vanderbilt lay just ahead. After facing three of the top teams in the country in Duke, UConn, and the top team Arizona, the Gators’ resume suddenly will be among the best, if they can pick up some ranked wins. The line tells us, the Orange and Blue strike again today.
