Florida Gators vs Kentucky Wildcats Prediction, Odds and Picks for Saturday, 11/08/25

Saturday night brings us an SEC clash between two squads that would just as soon get this season over with, as the Kentucky Wildcats host the Florida Gators. Kentucky grabbed a conference win last week at Auburn, 10-3, a game that resulted in the firing of the Auburn coach. Speaking of which, Florida has also fired their coach, and they are only barely above the lowly Wildcats in the conference standings. So, as both schools would say right now, it is basketball season. As for football, we have a night game that will be in the low 50s at kickoff, and the score may not reach the temperature, if you know what I mean. I think the best play in this game is the game total under 43.5.

Both teams are far better on defense than on offense, and that should lead to an ugly, low-scoring game that is a classic battle of field position. The Kentucky defense just held Auburn to 3 points on the road, and they held Texas to 16 points a couple weeks ago. They are getting back their top corner, and Florida is missing a couple of its top pass catchers. On the other side of the ball, Kentucky is just bad on offense by any measure. Florida is a respectable defense, especially against the run, and Kentucky isn’t much of a threat to throw. This looks like a 20-13 kind of game with a lot of stalled drives and punting.

Florida vs Kentucky Prediction: Under 43.5 (-110) available at the time of publication. Playable at that number.
