Gators Look To Get Going
There are many numbers that illustrate the issues with the Florida team in 2023 but perhaps none more than the fact that the Gators.

That has put a lot of pressure on the Florida passing game. Former Wisconsin quarterback Graham Mertz, who has 11 touchdown passes and no interceptions over the last four games and he will need to come through for Florida to have a chance to pull off the upset. He could be a player getting some love in the NCAAF parlay picks.
Florida has covered against the college football betting lines in just three of its last 10 games.
Tigers Look to Bounce Back
LSU could have made things interesting in the SEC West race with a win over Alabama. However, the top-rated offense in the country was held off the scoreboard in its final possessions as the Tigers kissed their SEC championship hopes goodbye.
This is a chance to return to their winning ways for LSU.
Even if Daniels can’t go, LSU has a pair of elite receivers and other NCAAF players who played a role in the Tigers ranking in the top five in points per game, yards per game, passing yards per game, passing yards per attempt and touchdown passes. Keep that in mind when looking at the Florida vs LSU betting lines.
The total has gone over in the last LSU games as well as in the last seven road games.
