If she is right and the Gators go 8 -4 they deserve to go to the playoffs with that ridiculous schedule .
they won't
@@mizer9510they won’t fail*
9-3 losing to Georgia, Texas and ole miss🐊
@@Litfilmzand Tennessee
Gators will not go 8-4 more like 4-8. Our coach is terrible and should be fired before seasons end
I would love 8-4 this year. Thanks so much for your analysis. Have a great day!
Plot twist, gators go undefeated by a million points and win the natty😂🙏🐊
Cautious optimism. I have been saying the Gators could be undefeated going into the Kentucky game because the first half of the schedule isn't as hard as people have made it out to be. It is no harder than any other first half we have had to play. But then we could go winless the second half of the season. 6-6 seems right. And you can flip flop the Tennessee and Kentucky games, win one, lose one. But 6-6 is my bet. But I also think Napier is still around even then.
8 wins is very reasonable considering what UF is returning and what some of these teams are replacing. Texas at Austin will be tough, Ole Miss will be a highscoring boat race, UT is rough in Knoxville, and no one is beating UGA these days. All the other games are winnable.
Ali,
I agree with your prediction however i think we go 9-3 with a win over Tennessee or Ole Miss. If we do this we should get in the play offs with this schedule.
If that happens, more power to them, but I as a Gators fan ain’t getting my hopes too high. I’m expecting disappointment so I won’t be disappointed
Would definitely be a nice change from the past bunch of years. Go 🐊 Wax Miami: rinse and repeat, and repeat, and repeat. Would love to see DJ mixed in. Early.
I'm with ya Ali! I think 8-4 is likely too ............... but we must beat Miami in order to do so!
Agreed.
Team is older, more experienced all Phases
Roster quality is consistently overlooked and underrated.
Florida is improved in '24
SOS notwithstanding.
I have Florida straight up over Miami
Mertz is legit
Solid leader, tough SOB
Straight up Hoss.
With a half decent O-Line and mid Decent Secondary 7 wins minimum
I'm pretty positive on Florida upsetting multiple Ranked Teams this year.
Luck to y'all through the Regular
Respect from St.Louis
MIZ
Florida is stronger than given credit.
Luck to y'all
MIZ
I also had them at 8-4. Only team in the nation that would likely make the CFP with 8 wins.
8 and 4 would be a hell of a season ali! Hope your predictions come true!
I’m not sure that gator fan can be wowed this year. The main reason Billy is on the hot seat is from rather unreasonable and unrealistic expectations. I read an article last week in a supposedly pro gator magazine that if Billy doesn’t go at least nine and three this year, then he needs to go.
It just feels like the fans put them behind the 8ball before we get started.
I’m not saying that there haven’t been things that are hard to swallow the past 2 years, but some factors have to be taken into account.
Besides, does firing Billy solve anything for us. What top-tier Coach would want to take his place? Knowing how Our fanbase will treat them. Knowing how hard the schedule is going to be. And knowing that there’s not enough money for the players in the current market.
@@gavinmcgovern11 money talks homie...
Hilarious reading the comments below then all the bashing of the coach and team after Saturday. How quickly fans turn.
Definitely over 4.5 if you can get that #...
I'm right there with ya on a 6-1 start, which is attainable (i agree sadly and think Vols get us), but the last gauntlet 5 is gonna be about health.
Hopeful w/ the Noles losing, maybe some of these Top 12 progrums fall off, but if we can pick off another 1 or 2 W's, i'd sign up for that rn - love the optimism and go 🐊!
If we beat miami . Will win 6 or 7 at best. The gators have gotten better but still 1 more yr away. The offense and Defense will be better this year, but it won't be enough. Between the O line and figuring out who's going to help wilson is big question mark.
That's an optimistic scenario you present. It may prove to be accurate......"if".....we beat Miami in game 1. But this is where our forecasts differ. I don't think that will happen. Hope I'm wrong.
Billy has to prove that he can win the Big One. And this is it. Lose it, and there won't be another chance. Win it, and everything changes, just like that!
I agree with 6-1 start. Have them upsetting lsu finish yr 7-5
Love the optimism Ali but FSU has more talent than you think. 7-5 more likely.
I like it! I agree with your predictions, I think we shock the world this season and pull off some great wins
Sorry, Graham Mertz is long gone, but not worry, the one they got is better anyway, so you are probably right about a lot of this! I hope so! I am a Gator fan too!
We're ranked 35th. If we beat Mia, where do you think it would put us in the rankings??
Exact same prediction but I think we get the W in Knoxville and can finish 9-3
Thanks for sharing.... I agree 😊
Georgia fan here. I see for sure losses to Georgia, Tennessee, Texas, FSU and Ole Miss. Maybe losses include Miami, LSU, A&M and UCF. I'm guessing 7-5 maybe 8-4 if you catch a break some where. I watch your vids pretty regularly as well as Gators Breakdown. Both have good content. See y'all in Jacksonville.
Why FSU??? How why lol they have a whole different team with an @$$ QB that couldn't get it done from the last 2 teams he transferred from go sit down smh
Nah we beating tf out of y’all this year bitchson beck throwing 4 pick 6’s
Joe cmon man, you see the lid I’m wearing, I’m not a delusional dawg fan, Florida will be a lot better football team this year, I see maybe 4 losses maybe
Georgia a bunch of use to being owned by Florida so they troll Florida bs post left and right with their false confidence…
@@markbrisbane5517 well I did say 7- 5 maybe 8-4 so we're not that far off on this.
Read an article yesterday & the Ole Ball Coach got Alabama winning SEC & Florida winning 8-10 games !
8-4 or 9-3 Go Gators!
It is crazy more Miami fans show up on Ali and Brandon ( locked on gators ) RUclips channel than to actual Miami football games . Strange practices going on down in coral gables 😂!
I can’t see 8 and 4 .. 7 and 5 I do believe is the best outcome ( the uf win over the canes I do agree with).
I feel good about beating Miami. If not it's going to be rough.
UF can absorb a loss to Miami if...Miami turns out to be really good, and UF can get good wins against FSU, UCF and at least a 3 of their SEC foes (LSU, TAMU, MSU?).
@@k_zildjian4460nah all or nothing
Gators gotta Eat.
Mertz is Legit
CHOMP CHOMP in da Swamp
Have at 'em Boys
MIZ
I really love your prediction! I appreciate you sure you do a great job always. God bless you and your family!
I dont have a justification for it, but I think we beat Texas. It's just a feeling I can't shake. We talk about the beginning of the season all the time, but sometimes playing as team at the end of year works in one's favor as well.
@@JasonYulee-kj3ln by the time our boys go to Austin they will waiting to find out who the next coach will be and they will get beat the hell down
I want to be optimistic, and there are reasons to be. However, until it happens, I'm cautious!
Yes
Wait, expand on UF's porous O-line ... Miami 34-17!! 🙌
Our oline is just fine.You will find out August 31. be patient lol😐
I see the floor at 6-6 and the ceiling at 10-2
I hope you are right with your prediction, however, you also predicted this exact same record last season.
I shared my thoughts on the GatorsOnline forum yesterday with nearly the same prediction, but I anticipate 9-3 with us winning at home vs Ole Miss.
Ali, I'm not sure. Really, 6-6 with a bowl WIN will show me progress!! 7-5 or 8-4...7-5 is more realistic to me. They'll be better, but not sure 8-4 better??
I'm a Cane btw. I do think Gators go7-5 or 8-4...I'm iffy on LSU. They don't have enough to beat Miami. Miami will somewhat shock ppl this year. People know they are talented...but its been so long, reminds me of the 2000 Canes that went 11-1 and beat FSU but got screwed for the titlte game. Gators are better than people think. Will beat TAMU. Will bounce back and beat FSU to save Napier's job. They will lose to Miami, Georgia, Ole Miss, Texas, maybe Tenn and maybe LSU. Lets be positive and say they get to 8-4. Canes going 12-0 though! Whoop!
Between Tenn,Ga,Tx,ole miss and fsu I think we can get 2 wins at least
You're forgetting what Baraq 0bama said about Napier: "Never underestimate Billy's ability to fuck something up."
It looks alot like last year. Just a harder schedule. Be lucky to go to a bowl game this year. 6 and 6 a real possibility 😮 Miami opener is a tough draw
Unless Napier has one of his rare games where he gets the opposing defense off balance (TN last year) its going to be tough to beat Miami as they are more talented than us at most positions. Napier has shown home field under him doesn't save us much. We lost to Arkansas, KY, LSU and FSU at home. Hopefully the Swamp pulls it out though.
It’s funny you mention Tennessee while speaking of Miami’s talent level vs Florida’s. They said the same thing about Tenn last year and look what happened. Go Gators!
Haven’t beat lsu since 2018, and I still don’t think we beat UK 6-6 season on the way
Cane fans are nuts if they think they’ll roll into the swamp and win? Lol, man that freaking place is loud!!! I got the Gators by 14 in that one
I agree. Beating three in state rivals and getting the UK monkey off our backs will translate into a successful year. I expect to surprise people vs UM.
Dead On by your predictions! I see it going exactly like that, just hope it works out that way. 7-5 really wouldn’t be a huge disappointment with this schedule. I know we are going to lose some games, but what I want to see is how competitive we are in those losses. Not getting blown out, will be huge in evaluating where this program is going forward with Napier.

For the life of me, I can't understand why everyone keeps talking about Cam Ward and Graham Mertz, like they are the only deciding factor in this game.
Answer me this....who wins if Graham Mertz and Cam Ward have practically the same stat lines ?
Let's just say they both throw for over 300 yards with 3 touchdowns and 0 interceptions !
Who wins the game ?
Defense and running game travel well.
Florida's biggest problem will be stopping two 230lb running backs running behind a top ten offensive line. If Florida struggles with this part of the game, we both know it makes everything easy for Cam Ward.
Speaking of Cam, I also don't understand why Gator fans think looking at Cam Ward while he was at Washington state is a good measuring stick for Cam at Miami considering he was behind the 131st offensive line in the nation and his leading rusher had 321 yards on the season. It's really not a realistic look, I get there isn't anything else to go on, but everyone still needs to put perspectives on the takes to be realistic and not just a fanatic !
Yet you took all the realism out of your question to skew the narrative… you’re starting a transfer in one the most hostile environments in the nation vs a guy who’s shown he can take care of the ball in the SEC already..come on now
@jayanderson7508
You are feeding right into my narrative and my point.
Why not talk about the run game more ?
Miami is going to try and establish the run in that hostile environment and control the line of scrimmage to win the TOP and keep Florida's offense off the field. This will help keep mistakes to a minimum.
Everyone is talking about the quarterbacks, but it could easily be the run game that is the difference ! 🤷♂️
A factor you don't seem to be considering is the crowd noise in The Swamp. With Ron Roberts' creeper defense, it will be a challenge for Ward to recognize what's being presented and to make adjustments. The crowd noise will factor in when he tries to audible at the line. To give you an idea of how loud it can be in The Swamp, in '97 against UT, I was literally screaming in my brother's ear and he couldn't hear me.
@Chasing72
It's a factor I don't have to factor in because every Gator fan in the nation is screaming that Florida will beat Miami simply because they are in the Swamp with a few Gator fans screaming Graham Mertz is better sprinkled in the noise.
I don't deny the Swamp will present some sort of problems for Miami.
I also know Arkansas and Fsu won there just last year, so obviously, it's not impossible to win in the Swamp !
I have faith in the amount of experience Miami has on the team. We will adjust and overcome ! 🤷♂️ 🙌
@904Hurricane 😅😅😅😅😅 just keep telling urself that 😊
No way Florida goes 4-0 vs. LSU, Miami, FSU, TAMU.
We got a team now that believes in them selves and each other,, they like a family, like a squad of soldiers heading into battle…. And they want to be here and be gators.. plus they looking forward to this schedule , not shying back at all… you can’t underestimate a team like that.. all you doubters and haters gonna be shocked.. I see 8-4 or 9-3.
Go 🐊’s 💙🧡
@@RickyRich-cd3hk get with me in November when we only have 4 or 5 wins again... Napier is trash.
6-6 with close wins against LSU and Ky, and losses to Miami, Georgia, Tenn, FSU, Ole Miss, and Texas.
I hope you are right. I would definitely be a happy camper if that came to fruition. I'm not nearly as optimistic as you. Beating Miami would go a long way in changing my mind.
i have 8 and 4 to
Well, Miami fans also have to understand, just bc you have talent, DOESN’T MEAN you win games already. Mario Cristobal is NOT a good coach and CAN’T translate that talent he had the last two years, he’s 12-13 with the hurricanes. OBVIOUSLY, the GT game where he made a DUMB decision to not a take knee tells you MASSIVE time on his QUESTIONABLE end game decisions. Playing at the Swamp is NOT easy, we saw Tennessee get CRUSHED by the Gators, Miami could and in my opinion WILL fall in the same trap like TN did last year
Gators need to make Miami depend on the pass. Load the box and wait for the interceptions.
Good luck with that...Miami has 3 WR on the Biletnikoff watch list.😉
@@Cane1992UF has a deep secondary, good luck.
I like it…Graham Ward 😂😂 so, is it Cam Mertz 🤔🤔
I have my gators winning them all until they prove otherwise imo
If the Gators can find discipline they'll be fine.
Swamp not gonna be as hot & humid vs. Kentucky ! That " Kentucky Monkey " is no joke ! 🐒😂
I think you are correct on most of these and I tend to think the same. I'm calling it a 7-5 season but would be very happy with 8-4. Either way i don't think Billy is going anywhere and with his buyout and recruiting no way they buy him out and start over unless he shows zero improvement and a ton of blundering coaching mistakes
@@pdg61met his recruiting???? 1 5* 6 4* and 6 3* players. That's nothing to write home about... That is for the 25 class so far. Not very impressive.
This didnt age well
O line same for 4 years
D line same foe the 4th year
D secondary for the 4th year
0 progress in now the 4th year
I am done with the fire a coach... give him 4 years fire him ... give the next guy crazy money ... rinse repeat.
Vandy won today... we are the new vandy. I refise to buy into failure
" Discussing " those Wins ! You are Precious ! 😂 Not seeing the Gators beating Miami And Texas A & M. Maybe 1 Win & lose the other game.
I agree with you I ha e the same prediction for this year as well. I do however, have a little twist where Florida could end up with a 9-3 record and make the playoffs. That extra win would come against Ole Miss at home. If the Rebels lose at least a couple of games before meeting us specially after a L against Georgia right before coming to the Swamp, I don't think Kiffin will be able to keep this team together and with the Swamp and possible playoffs in the future we pull this one at home specially if we can stay competitive against Georgia and Texas and Tennessee. I believe we can regain home advantage this year. Let's go Gators 🐊 🐊 🐊
Bolt Prediction: FLORIDA 27 MIAMI 20 🐊
This is my exact prediction as well. Not just the W-L record, but the same games! Hope we're both right 😊. Go Gators!
I’m thinking 7-5.
All those delusional Miami Hurricane fans sure are going to be butthurt when their team doesn't even make Bowl eligibility
Predictions are definitely reasonable. Florida will over perform expectations this year.
My 12 pick are that Florida loses,to LSU or Ole Miss only!
Idk. I have to see the Miami game first……. Go Gators
If we win 8 games with our schedule we could get in the play off. I will believe we can win 8 when the clock hits 0:00 on the 8th win though. I'm not going to get my heart broken again by being optimistic. lol
I expect undefeated headed in to Jacksonville what happens after that still unsure on till we actually see them play but Im only seeing 2 losses at the moment
Love the optimism, Ali! Unfortunately, I don’t see a path to 5 wins.
I think one of the biggest things that is being overlooked is Tennessee plays Florida and the very next week play Alabama. If Bama gets off to a good start I can see Tennessee looking ahead and UF getting them in Knoxville
@@Slim8228 considering Tennessee's success or lack there of against Florida, they will not be over looking the Gators
If we truly go 8 and 4 we will make the playoffs there are a lot of overrated ranked teams in this current preseason ranking Miami and FSU are two prime examples
Football ain’t never been played on the Internet or Talking Heads talking what they think gonna happen you gotta do it in between the lines going eight and four sound like a scratch, but I’ll get on you when it don’t happen and if it do happen, I say you was right, but I doubt it though we’ll see
With the whole world against them boys they ain't got nothing to lose that's dangerous situation to be facing.Them boys fina catch a lot of people sleeping. We'll be just fine.
Surprise coming??? Is Billy Napier getting fired? I will take bets on Napier getting fired. Betting office is open...
I’m with you Ali, 8-4, Go Gators!
Go Canes!
Regarding LSU. Florida has a History of beating LSU when UF is a 'huge' underdog. even at LSU.
I have us 9-3 let's go Gators 🐊 🧡💙
No more talk. LET'S GO GATORS!!!!!!!!
🐊🔥‼️
I have literally the exact same prediction
This is exactly how I think it’s going to play out as well. With a chance to flip one of our losses.
Every game is a referendum on Napier. If he doesn’t win 7 or 8 not counting Bowl Game then Napier and Stricklin should be relieved of duty and escorted to the parking lot. Period.
You do know Napier is still the head coach right? His game planning and game day decision making has been terrible in the past. He plays scared and that's why we lose a lot of close games that should have been fairly easy wins. Hope he has improved in those areas or it will be yet another disappointing season.
What the hell have you been smoking 😮 CANES WILL DOMINATE 🙌🏼
😅 you cane fans are to amusing !
Florida will be 10 and 2 and them to will be 50 /50 I said it here first and to too will be georgia and texas
I’m right there with you Ali - game for game
We will no more after Miami
D-line is now a great concern with losing Lyons for the season.
You guys are hilarious. If Napier is calling plays, we will not be a very good team. What have you guys been watching the last 2 years?
I disagree on Ole Piss Miss , last time their over hyped ass came to the swamp Florida beat em ‘ by atleast 30 pts … might be worst for Ole Piss this time
Recalibrating, Recalibrating
We're running the table 😎
😂😂😂omg!!!
Fire Napier Now!
Yes going to be shocking how far the gators have fallen hoping to make a bowl game ..praying for a 6&6 record .Season hanging on beating an acc team.lord have mercy
Hilarious that a team with no oline is going to win more than 6 games. 6-6 with that trash oline is a good season
Not going 8-4
