- Florida TE Kyle Pitts might be the best player in this game as he could be a top-10 pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. Pitts has caught 11 touchdowns in seven games this season. He’s averaging an incredible 17.8 yards per reception, and he is clearly the Gators’ top passing option.

LSU at Florida: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Florida 45, LSU 17
Money line (ML)
Florida (-1400) is a huge money line favorite in this game after going 8-1 so far on the season. Their only loss came against Texas A&M early in the year, and they are the far superior team in this contest. However, there isn’t enough value here on the Gators, so PASS on the money line in this contest.
Against the spread (ATS)
FLORIDA (-23.5) is more than a three-touchdown favorite in this contest, and it’s not hard to see why. LSU has been blown out by teams like Alabama, Auburn and Texans A&M this season, and their offense just isn’t good enough to keep up. With the Gators having playoff aspirations, look for them to take care of business in this game and win by nearly 30 points.
Over/Under (O/U)
UNDER 68.5 points is the smart play in this game as LSU’s offense is just far too inconsistent to bet the over on. While the defense will allow points at a high-rate, the offense just has too many games where they have failed to score more than 20 points. Look for this to be another one of those days as the 17 points might be all they get on Saturday night.
