LSU vs. Florida picks and predictions
Prediction
LSU 35, Florida 31
Moneyline
PASS.
I considered taking Florida (+155), but I’ll play it safer and take the points.
Against the spread
BET FLORIDA +4.5 (-110).
This line feels off considering LSU’s recent struggles and inability to defend a mobile QB. Florida, on the other hand, has been much more competitive, including giving Georgia a scare with several backups.
LSU has dropped 4 of its last 5 road games in November, while Florida has covered the spread in 5 of its last 6. The underdog has won LSU’s last 3 visits to Ben Hill Griffin Stadium.
With highly-touted freshman QB DJ Lagway possibly back, Florida has a real chance to take advantage of LSU’s weak secondary. I’m grabbing the points with the Gators.
Over/Under
BET OVER 55.5 (-105).
LSU’s games have averaged 55.4 points, with an Over/Under line of 58.9. The Tigers are 2-5 O/U.
LSU’s offense, led by their passing game, ranks 7th in the nation with 322.8 yards per game, and they’re 9th in both passing attempts (42.3) and completions (26.8). They average 30.4 points per game.
Florida’s offense averages 28.1 points per game and has gone over in their last 3 games. However, the Gators’ defense allowed 563 total yards in a recent 49-17 loss to Texas.
The last 6 meetings between LSU and Florida have gone Over the total points line, and 12 of LSU’s last 15 conference games have followed suit.
