Florida Football: Game-by-game predictions for 2020 season

New Mexico State has won more than four games only once since 2012 and don’t expect that to change much in 2020, with only nine starters returning from a 2-10 squad. Florida will have its sights set on another New Year’s Six bowl game and will be hoping that it can get out of this game injury free.

Florida will win big here and move on to their rivalry game against Florida State.

Final Score: Florida 63, New Mexico State 13 (9-2)

In one of the best rivalries in all of college football, the Seminoles and the Gators will meet for the 65th time and it is anyone’s guess how the Seminoles will look heading into this game.

Florida State is under new leadership yet again with former Memphis coach Mike Norvell taking over in Tallahassee after the Willie Taggart experiment went down in flames. Dan Mullen is 2-0 against the Seminoles and has had a lot of success against Florida State dating back to his days as the offensive coordinator for the Gators under then-head coach Urban Meyer.

The Seminoles have talent on the roster and players like wide receiver Tamorrion Terry and defensive tackle Marvin Wilson are some of the best at their positions in the country.

Norvell was a very successful head coach at Memphis and I think with time, will be successful at Florida State. The Gators will have the talent advantage and more to play for as the Gators look for a third straight double-digit win season and make their third straight New Year’s Six bowl.

Final Score: Florida 35, Florida State 23 (10-2, 6-2)
