The Tulane Green Wave and the Florida Gators will clash on Friday afternoon. Raymond James Stadium will be the site for this highly-anticipated Gasparilla Bowl.

Tulane begins this contest with a record of 9-4. The Green Wave would love nothing more than to end their season strong with a bowl win today. Tulane will be playing in their third consecutive bowl game. With a win tonight, the Green Wave will post their third consecutive ten-win season.

Tulane vs. Florida Prediction

Freshman Darian Mensah leads the offense with 2,723 yards, 22 touchdowns, and six picks, but has since transferred out of the program. Sophomore Makhi Hughes has rushed for a team-best 1,372 yards and 15 touchdowns. USC transfer Mario Williams has racked up a team-best 940 yards.

Florida rolls into the contest with a record of 7-5. 2024 was considered a success for the Gators after a rough start. Head coach Billy Napier likely bought himself another season due to his strong performance.

Entering the season, nobody in college football had a tougher strength of schedule than the Gators. Florida has impressive wins on their resume over Ole Miss and LSU. The Gators enter this Bowl game with three consecutive wins. Florida has not won a bowl game since 2019 in the Orange Bowl.

Freshman Dj Lagway leads the offense with 1,610 yards, eleven touchdowns, and seven interceptions. Jadan Baugh leads the ground game with 603 yards and seven touchdowns. Elijah Badger has collected a team-best 789 yards and four touchdowns.

Tulane vs. Florida Pick

Today will essentially be a home game for the Gators, who will play a role in this game.

Florida enters this game playing the best football of their season.

As mentioned, Florida has taken down two ranked teams over the past month.

Lagway is one of the more underrated players in college football and will lead the Gator's offense to a breakout performance today.

I anticipate a blowout win for Florida and a stress-free cover.
