No. 4 Florida at No. 1 Alabama (Plus 10)

Alabama leads the series 20-23. However, Florida is the only team Alabama has faced in the SEC Championship Game and the Crimson Tide is 2-3 in those games. Florida is 6-2 when playing in the SEC Championship game with the losses being to Alabama.

Most people are expecting this to be a high scoring affair. I wouldn't be surprised if the opposite occurs. Both teams field extremely talented and stingy defenses. The deciding factor in this game will be the player taking the snaps.

Would you rather have Tim Tebow or John Parker Wilson guiding your team? I always trust a person with two names rather than three.

Florida 20, Alabama 14
