Florida is just 1-8 against the spread in their last 9 games as a favorite and 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games as a road favorite. Auburn is 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games as a home underdog. My pick is with Auburn at home as 12.5 points is a lot for any road team to cover, let alone a Florida team that is still finding its identity.
