Billy Napier is looking for his first bowl win as Florida Gators coach. Tulane is attempting to win 10 games. The Gators are led by promising freshman quarterback DJ Lagway. The Green Wave’s starting QB, redshirt freshman Darian Mensah, plans to enter the transfer portal.

These are just a few of the noteworthy storylines entering this year’s Union Home Mortgage Gasparilla Bowl between Florida and Tulane on Dec. 20 in Tampa, Fla.

Oddsmakers like the Gators in this one. By a good bit.

Per betting lines from FanDuel, Florida currently is a 12.5-point favorite (-115) against the Green Wave. The money line for Florida as a double-digit favorite is -550 with Tulane being at +400 as the underdog.

The over/under is set at 50.5.

This is the second straight game the Gators are listed as a double-digit favorite. They beat FSU 31-11 in their most recent game as a heavy favorite.

Florida, now 7-5 overall and 4-4 in the SEC, shocked No. 9 Ole Miss, a double-digit favorite, 24-17 on Nov. 23 in The Swamp. The Gators also won the previous Saturday as a single-digit underdog at home vs. then-No. 22 LSU. In the two games prior, Florida was a double-digit underdog vs. Texas and Georgia, respectively, and lost both games.

Tulane is 9-4, but has lost two straight games, to 10-2 Memphis (34-24) and 11-1 Army (35-14) in the American Athletic Championship Game. Sunday, it was reported by On3’s Pete Nakos that Mensah plans to enter the NCAA Transfer Portal after two seasons with the Green Wave. The 6-foot-3, 215-pound player has thrown for 2,723 yards and 22 touchdowns in 2024.

Florida leads the all-time series with Tulane, 13-6-2. The Gators have won 11 straight in the series.
