CBS Sports Network panel predicts Kentucky-Florida matchup
Florida is a popular pick this week among the CBS Sports Network panel, including Aaron Taylor, Rick Neuheisel and Brian Jones, who all predicted the Gators to knock off Kentucky.
They explained why after Randy Cross was the only analyst to pick Kentucky.
“We’re going to see at the end of the year that Utah is a legitimate good team, Florida by default is going to be a much better team,” Taylor said. “They’ve won 8 straight against SEC East foes in The Swamp, and I’m riding the Floridian Murder Logs to a 2-0 start.”
Neuheisel spoke about the crowd last week.
“They’re going to be back for some more, Kentucky has chirped that they’re ready to take over the ‘B’ position in that SEC East,” he said. “Anthony Richardson was just phenomenal, and to hear Billy Napier talk about him being self-critical, I’m also really excited about the way Billy Napier has taken on this challenge. Organized was the way I would portray that team Saturday night.”
Jones also recalled that he picked Utah last week, and noted that the vaunted “Big Blue Wall” offensive line at Kentucky has shown some cracks.
