Florida football's Week 2 matchup against the Campbell Fighting Camels is set to take place inside Ben Hill Griffin Stadium on Saturday. With just a couple of days remaining until the opening kickoff, FanDuel has made a few tweaks to its betting lines for the first-time matchup in the Swamp.
The Gators and Camels have never played on the collegiate gridiron, which adds a little spice to what is projected to be a major mismatch between the FBS and FCS schools. Campbell won its first two games of the campaign, prevailing over East Tennessee State, 49-37, on the road before returning home to defeat No. 24 Western Carolina, 28-19.
Meanwhile, Florida opened up the Jon Sumrall era at home with a 66-21 thrashing of FAU — a game that saw the Gators put
up one of their strongest offensive performances in recent memory.
Take a look below at the latest lines for this weekend's matchup, along with a prediction for Saturday night's college football battle.

Florida vs. Campbell predictions, picks for college basketball
After the offensive domination witnessed in Week 1 against FAU, it is hard to see the Gators falling short against Campbell in Week 2. Sure, Florida has some wrinkles to work out in its defense and there is still some room for improvement to be made on the other side of the ball, but this team seems to be trending in the right direction early on.
The key to this matchup is that Sumrall and Co. use their FCS opponent to prepare for the upcoming SEC gauntlet. Things get tough really quickly, starting with a road matchup with Auburn in Week 3, so now is the time to tie up any loose ends that the Gators might have.
PREDICTION: Florida 70, Campbell 10
