Florida Gators vs. Michigan Wolverines Overview<br />
</h2>
<p>
The big storyline surrounding this game is the suspension of seven Florida Gators starters as a result of a litany of off-field conduct issues. With such scandal besieging the Orange and Blue, the market has not shifted its stance much on the fixture overall. Despite the breaking news, Michigan takers have only been forced to spot an additional point since the revelation in some cases. The Wolverines themselves are in a transitional period and have to decipher how life will continue on with ten defensive starters being replaced in the 2017 season. With quarterback Malik Zaire at the helm of the Florida Gators after transferring to Gainesville in the off-season, the Wolverines are facing down an enormous challenge regardless of the headlines surrounding the Gators.

Florida Gators vs. Michigan Wolverines Free Week 1 Prediction
Despite the suspensions, Florida can easily win this game. Coach Jim McElwain has been instrumental in promoting rudimentary and team-oriented tactics that focus less on individual star players. The Gators employ a fundamental approach toward defense, so very simply the next man will step up and do his job. Michigan has to find itself yet again despite having an opportunity to ascend to the next level in the previous two seasons on Jim Harbaugh. Now, the Maize and Blue are liking taking a step back in 2017 and this early season contest could serve as a testament to that attrition. Nevertheless, much of the public has been all over the Wolverines as 72% of the general public like Michigan against the spread according to sportsbook consensus. On the contrary, 71% are siding with the Gators in public forums. Additionally, in some markets we have seen Michigan require additional lumber while some spreads have been diminished from action on the Gators. All in all, the ebbs and flows of the preliminary moments of this contest have offered what appears to be tremendous value on Michigan as a favorite in some markets at this current juncture. We will go ahead and take the points while we have been afforded the additional cushion on the Gators.
