Why the Florida Gators will win
- The underdog has won each of LSU’s last three games at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium.
- LSU has lost four of its last five road games in November.
- Florida has covered the spread in five of its last six games.
- LSU has failed to cover the spread in four of its last five November games as a road favorite against non-AP-ranked teams.
- Florida has won the first half in four of its last five games against conference opponents.
Total Points Facts
- Twelve of Florida’s last 13 games against conference opponents have gone OVER the total points line.
- Five of LSU’s last six games have gone UNDER the total points line.
Matchup/League Facts
- Florida ranks T126th among FBS teams for Q3 opponent points per game this season (9.1).
- Florida ranks T120th among FBS teams for Q1 points per game this season (3.3).
- LSU ranks 7th among FBS teams for passing yards per game this season (322.8).

Florida vs LSU Prediction
This line is a bit nuts when you consider LSU has gotten smoked in its last two Games and the defense cant defend a mobile quarterback whatsoever. The Florida Gators have been a lot more comPetitive over the last month, and that includes giving Georgia a scare with a lot of backup players. The fact DJ Lagway warmed up against Texas tells me there’s a good chance he’ll be able to play this week. If that’s the case, this is a Game the Gators have a real shot to win outright. LSU is not scaring anybody in its current form. This is a chance to improve Florida’s odds to clinch a bowl berth. I’ll grab the points with the Gators and even put something on the ML.
