LSU Tigers vs. Florida Gators College Football Betting Preview
Betting on the LSU Tigers 3-2 (+2)
The Tigers are out for redemption here in Week 6, after an at-home close-but-no-cigar loss (24-21) to the Trojans in Week 5. Playing without leading rusher Derris Guice didn’t help, which had LSU trailing the Trojans all game. While they scored twice to get within a single field goal with two minutes left they could not pull it off, a bummer considering that they were on a 49-game “non-conference” winning streak at home.
On a positive note, LSU outgained the Trojans 428-363, even if turnovers cost them. All in all, the Tigers have outgained four out of five opponents in 2017, outrushed three of them to boot.
Betting on the Florida Gators 3-1 (-2)
The Gators are undefeated since their unfortunate loss to Michigan in Week 1. Their 38-24 victory at Vanderbilt last week was the result of a run sparked just before halftime, with the final seven points courtesy of a Malik Davis 39-yard TD that came under the two minute mark to cover a nine-point spread.
Florida outgained the Commodores 467-310 and outrushed them 218-46, winning time of possession by a 36/24 split. QB freshman Feleipe Franks (filling in for Del Rio) connected on 10 of 14 passes for a total of 185 yards. Running backs Davis and Perine delivered 182 rushing yards and five rushing TDs.
