Florida Football: 3 bold predictions vs. Missouri in Week 9

Florida football is finally getting back to action this weekend with a home game against Missouri. Will the Gators take care of the Tigers?

Dan Mullen got hit hard with COVID-19 cases after wishing for a packed Ben Hill Griffin Stadium a couple of weeks ago when the Gators were supposed to host LSU.

Not only did Florida have to postpone that game, but they also had to move the Missouri game back a week and now the Tigers will be headed to Gainesville on Halloween as the Gators are hoping to remain in the College Football Playoff race.

Missouri has been a pleasant surprise under Eliah Drinkwitz and Connor Bazelak is becoming one of the most effective quarterbacks in the conference. Could an upset be on the horizon?

3. Kyle Pitts scores three more times

You know you have an elite tight end when he leads your team in receiving through three games. Kyle Pitts is that dude.

The junior tight end is one of the best in the nation at what he does and his elite pass-catching ability sets him apart and makes him a matchup nightmare for opposing linebackers and his size makes him nearly impossible for defensive backs to challenge. He’s an all-around nightmare for opposing defenses and he has seven touchdowns through three games to start the year.

Pitts is about to add three more to his total on Saturday night.

Kyle Trask will have another one of his signature prolific passing games as he’ll total over 400 yards with at least three touchdowns and there’s a good chance most of the scores through the air will go to Pitts. He’ll catch three more touchdown passes against the Tigers and push his total to 10 on the season.

On top of that, he’ll top 100 yards with eight catches.
