That includes our best bet for this matchup, using our college football betting model while relying on our many years of experience betting on college football bowl games.
Can Tulane Overcome QB Change In Bowl Game?
Without the transfer portal coming into the equation, Tulane vs Florida had the chance to be one of the best games of the college football bowl schedule. But the transfer portal has hit Tulane hard at the quarterback position, which could have a severe impact on their ability to win this bowl game against the Gators.
Darian Mensah, thought to be one of the best players in the transfer portal, has committed to play for Duke next season. That will likely mean that Ty Thompson will play quarterback in this game for the Green Wave, despite the fact that he has also hit the portal. But there is no doubt that the loss of Mensah will be huge for Tulane going into this bowl game.
Florida Looks For Fourth Straight Win
The Florida Gators went 7-5 this season and made it to bowl season with a three-game winning streak late in the regular season. Florida won consecutive home games against LSU and Ole Miss to get to six wins before beating Florida State in their annual rivalry game. Here, the Gators have a ton of injuries and absences that they have to deal with.
Specifically, the Gators are dealing with injuries to their top-three cornerbacks, which could severely impact their ability to defend the pass. However, Tulane may not be able to take advantage of those injuries thanks to their quarterback situation being a mess. This will create a very interesting battle in this game that could decide things, one that bettors might not have thought about otherwise.
Tulane vs Florida Best Bet
We are going to lay the points with Florida in this Tulane vs Florida matchup in the Gasparilla Bowl. Tulane not having their best offensive player who was responsible for so much of their success this season will undoubtedly hurt them in this game. Expect Florida to take advantage of that and for the Gators to finish their season with a four-game winning streak.
