Some of the best games each week are between the top 25 teams in the country. Sometimes they are blowouts, but sometimes they are great battles. Tonight we have Florida taking on Missouri, and Fanatics is offering new users a chance to bet $20 and receive $350 when wagering on the game with code FOXNEWS350.
Florida is one of the best teams in the country and is coming off an absolutely dominating performance against a fellow top-10 team. The Gators rocked Ole Miss one week after the Rebels made a statement win against LSU. The final score was 52-28, showing just how great Florida was.
They did have a bit of a tougher time with Auburn when the two teams played each other in Week 3. Auburn still dropped the game, but kept it close. The Gators won 44-39, and the 44 points were the fewest they’ve had all season. The 39 points were also the most allowed this year.

Missouri is 3-1 for the season and coming off a loss to Mississippi State last week. In Week 4, they had to travel to play the Bulldogs, and they lost the game 31-24. It wasn’t a terrible game, but they just couldn’t pull it out. A win here would vault them up the list of top-25 teams in the nation.
The three wins that Missouri has this season are against Arkansas Pine Bluff, Kansas and Troy. Kansas is likely the only decent team they’ve faced. It can be hard to judge a team until they start playing real competition. Florida is definitely a challenge they want to conquer.
This matchup between Florida and Missouri kicks off this afternoon at 3:30 ET. Be prepared for the game with promo code FOXNEWS350 on Fanatics and receive $350 in FanCash on a $20 wager.
