However, it took three overtimes to beat Kentucky last weekend.<\/p>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=63738&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n<p>Far from the team that rolled East Carolina during week one, racking up 65 points against the Pirates.<\/p>\n<p>Still, the Gators will be tested by Alabama, and quarterback Jeff Driskel will need to be at his best.<\/p>\n<p>Back in the lineup after injuries forced him to watch from the sideline, Driskell has completed nearly 64 percent of his passes with four touchdowns this season. And along with a solid rusginh attack fueled by Matt Jones and Kelvin Taylor, the Gators offenses seems to be clicking.<\/p>\n<p>The pair are averaging around 5.8 yards per carry with a combined four rushing TDs.<\/p>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=66501&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the defense has been outstanding with four interceptions, four fumble recoveries and five sacks.<\/p>\n<p>Loaded with a ton of All-Americans Florida is proving that last season was no accident.<\/p>\n<h3>Alabama<\/h3>\n<p>The Crimson Tide (3-0) have yet to play an SEC game, but have looked more than impressive in their wins over West Virginia FAU and Southern Miss.<\/p>\n<p>Quarterback Blake Sims has brought down the house on a couple of occasions already this season, completing 75 percent of his passes with four touchdowns and just a single pick.<\/p>\n<p>He has gotten plenty of help though from an Bama&#8217; running game that has been led by T.J. Yeldon and Derrick Henry, who are averaging six yards per carry.<\/p>\n<p>Sims favorite target so far has been receiver Amari Cooper who already had 33 catches on the young season.<\/p>\n<p>On the defensive side of the football, Alabama has two fumble recoveries and seven sacks but has yet to record an INT.<\/p>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=63739&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n<h3>College football betting trends<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>FLA are 6-14 ATS in their last 20 games overall.<\/li>\n<li>Over is 6-2 in ALA last 8 home games.<\/li>\n<li>FLA are 1-8-1 ATS in their last 10 meetings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Week 4 NCAA Football Spread Prediction<\/h3>\n<p>Although the Crimson Tide are 5-2 against the spread in their last seven SEC games, they have been winning comfortably against cupcake competition<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, the Gators although 6-14 against the spread in their last 20 games, have had to duke it out for their wins, and appear to be battle ready, which is what I expect this contest to be \u2014 a battle of defenses.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4* NCAAF Score Prediction: Florida 28, Alabama 27<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Check out our <a title=\"College Football Week 4 Odds\" href=\"https:\/\/capperspicks.sportsdirectinc.com\/odds\/ncaaf.aspx\" rel=\"nofollow\">Updated College Football Week 4 Odds<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=63706&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Week 4: Gators vs Crimson Tide College Football Week 4 betting action sees the Florida Gators taking on the No. 3 Alabama Crimson Tide on Sept. 20, at Bryant-Denny Stadium.
