Florida is entering this game with a 4-2 record overall to start their college football season and they will be playing their 6th home game of the season as they are 4-1 in their home games this year. This will also be the 4th conference matchup on their conference schedule this season as they are 1-2. They won against the Missouri Tigers in their last game at home 24-17. Anthony Richardson started that game at QB and he completed 8/14 passes for 66 yards, 1 touchdown, and 1 interception. Montrell Johnson led the team in rushing with 86 yards and 1 TD on 8 carries. Justin Shorter led the team in receiving with 20 yards on 1 reception. Ventrell Miller led the defense in that game with 10 solo tackles and 1 assisted tackle. Princely Umanmielen, Brenton Cox, Gervon Dexter, and Chris McClellan each led the defense in sacks with 1 while Jaydon Hill came away with the only 2 interceptions for them in that one.

The current betting odds have LSU listed as a 3 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. LSU just got thrashed by Tennessee in their last game and they were at home for it, but Tennessee has proven themselves to be one of the best teams in the country right now while LSU is still trying to get this program kickstarted with new head coach Brian Kelly. This season already seems like a write off for them as they have no real chance of competing in the SEC with the way they have started but now the pressure is off them a bit and Kelly can focus on fixing their issues in these games and improving the team for a big year next season. Florida is another team that had a lot of hype surrounding them with their new head coach but they have looked just as bad in their games as they have struggled to beat good conference opponents, their only win in the conference coming in a 24-17 win over Mizzou last week. LSU has a lot of talent on their team and they are going to feel embarrassed after the way they lost at home last week. They are coming for the upset here and have a very good chance of pulling it off. The best way to place a bet here is on LSU to cover the spread in this game.
