Trap games for every SEC team - Florida Gators

Any complaint that any team has about an unfavorable schedule should pale in the face of the slate that Florida faces this year. Every team on the back half of this schedule, and several on the front half as well, is a preseason top-25 squad.

Ordinarily, I would select UCF as the prime candidate to pull off an upset over the Gators, but 1) the Knights may actually be favored if things fall right and 2) I think UF will be very locked in on that game.

That’s why I’ve chosen Kentucky. Right after a big game against Tennessee, going into the bye week, the Gators will travel to Lexington for a showdown against the Wildcats.

I know the streak has been broken, but this is still a game that UF fans feel that they should win year in and year out, without exception. It’s easy to see why, of course, but this could be a Gator team limping into the bye week, looking ahead to a tough test against UGA, and completely overlooking the Wildcats.
