Saturday afternoon in the Swamp, the top-ranked Gators will host Florida International in a game that not many will be giving the Golden Panthers any shot to come away with the victory.

FIU is coming off their third win of the season, after beating North Texas 48-21 last Saturday in Miami. Florida got a 24-14 win over South Carolina last week, but didn't look all that good doing it.

NCAA odds makers have the Gators listed as heavy favorites in this one. The Vegas line is set at, Florida -48 with the total in the game sitting at 54.

With last Saturday's win, the Gators finished unbeaten in the SEC for the fifth time in program history and first time since 1996. However, head coach Urban Meyer's team needed a big play from his defense to pull away in the fourth quarter.

As
Meyer watched South Carolina inch closer to a go-ahead score early in the fourth quarter, Gators Defensive end Justin Trattou made a game-changing interception and No. 1 Florida finished a perfect regular season in the conference.

The Gators' SEC regular season schedule is over, so they will be staying close to home in their last two games as the face FIU and the Florida State Seminoles before taking on Alabama in the Conference Championship Game on December 5th.

Florida International is 3-7 and has never finished with a winning record since starting up its program in 2002. That's the polar opposite of their fellow Sunshine State opponent on Saturday.

Don't expect anything shocking to happen this weekend in this one, but I am sceptical any time a team has to give this many points. I think the safe bet in this one is to take the over 54 points.
