Capital One Bowl: Michigan Wolverines vs Florida GatorsThe Capital One Bowl matchup between the Michigan Wolverines vs Florida Gators will feature a Gators team (8-3 ATS) that will be getting somewhat of a home field advantage in a bowl, with the game being played in Orlando While it  isn’t quite the swamp  it should be about 80-20 in fan support in Florida’s favor. Michigan (6-5 ATS) is finally healthy on offense with their big horses all together on the field which should help an above-average offense that has scored 26.1 points per game on the year.  BodogLife.com has Florida as -10.5 point football betting favorites.

The Florida defense is big and fast as usual but at times they have been vulnerable having given up 30+ points in 4 games. Michigan team leader and future NFL back Mike Hart, 1232 yards on 5.4 yards per carry, is an elusive runner that will be met by a stingy Florida run D allowing 3.0 yards per carry. Wolverines QB Chad Henne has a rocket arm but he has underachieved this season. Henne does have a big play wideout in Mario Manningham who should see plenty of passes thrown in his direction. BodogLife.com has the TOTAL at 59 points for the Michigan Wolverines vs Florida Gators game.

The Gators juggernaut offense that is averaging 43.0 points per game, 4th best in the nation will be met by an aggressive Michigan defense that is allowing 20.2 PPG. It’s certain that the Wolverines will be coming after Heisman Trophy winner, QB Tim Tebow, but they might not be able to contend with all of the Gators potent weapons. Gators RB Percy Harvin has been a dual threat as both a receiver and a runner averaging an outstanding 8.6 yards per carry. Tebow has a set of physical wideouts that can score in the red zone and Michigan will have the extra headache of trying to contain Tebow’s runs with his 22 rushing TD’s.

Florida has big advantages on offense but Michigan is still loaded with talent. Can the Wolverines keep inside the big spread?
