Opposing quarterbacks have struggled to figure things out against this defense as they are 24th in the country, as quarterbacks are completing just 56.4 percent of their passes against this defense.
Florida Gators

Sophomore quarterback Anthony Richardson has been struggling a bit, as he has thrown at least one interception in each of his previous five games.
They are 17th in the entire country, with 213.7 rushing yards per game to open up the playbook and essentially be around 50 percent of their yardage.

LSU Tigers vs. Florida Gators Betting Prediction
This is interesting as both teams could overlook this game as they both have top-10 programs they are facing off against next week, so I would also like to sprinkle some money on the under here.
Who to Bet On?
However, the defenses in the previous three weeks should tell us which side to go with, as LSU is giving up 19 points per game in that stretch while Florida is allowing 24 points per game.
All in all, go with the LSU Tigers getting 2.5 points as the underdog has covered in each of the previous six games against one another.
