Florida favored over Ole Miss as Sumrall jokes about the line

Florida coach Jon Sumrall reacted with humor after learning that the 21st-ranked Gators are favored over fourth-ranked Ole Miss ahead of Saturday's Southeastern Conference game at Florida Field. When reporters told Sumrall during his Monday press conference that oddsmakers had installed Florida as the favorite, he asked who had them favored against the Rebels and then quipped that there is a lot of good drugs out there. Sumrall added that he had not known about the line and that whoever set it has not watched the tape, pointing to what he called the best quarterback in college football and a roster full of weapons on the Ole Miss side. The Gators are 3.5-point favorites for Saturday's game, with the line having opened at 1.5 points before moving further in Florida's direction. Other books posted lines ranging from 2.5 to 3.5 points. Reporters have attributed the line largely to the game being played in Gainesville, though no oddsmaker has publicly confirmed that reasoning. Both teams enter Week 4 with 3-0 records. Ole Miss owns wins over then-No. 16 Louisville in its opener and then-No.
