Preview: Florida Gators at Auburn Tigers projection

Florida Gators visit Auburn Tigers in NCAA Football on Saturday, September 19, 2026. Our model projects FLA 28 – AUB 25, a 3-point edge to Florida Gators. DraftKings currently has AUB +2.5 with a total of 52.5.

The only inputs are final scores and schedule dates from the current and prior season, opponent-adjusted, plus the live DraftKings spread and total. 13 completed home-side and 11 completed away-side games are on file, worth 1.44 weighted games on the thinner side after recency decay and a discount on prior-season results. Because that history is graded insufficient, the projected score is blended 85% toward the DraftKings number of +2.5 / 52.5, which sat 1.988 points from what the completed scores alone implied.

This is a model projection, not an official tracked recommendation. The model rates it unrated, so no side is published and it is not eligible for a tracked pick or a Covered Select. Reasons on file: 1.44 weighted games is below the 3-game minimum for a rated projection; score anchored 85% to the DraftKings number (2.5 / 52.5); unrated: the history behind this projection is insufficient, so the score is a market-anchored projection rather than a recommendation.
