Spread consensus picks, score prediction

A strong majority of bettors are taking the Tigers over the Gators this week, according to the latest spread consensus picks for the game.

LSU is getting 73 percent of bets to win the game and cover the narrow spread to avoid a third-straight loss.

The other 27 percent of wagers project Florida will either win outright in the upset, or keep the final margin under five points in a loss.

The game’s implied score suggests a narrow victory for the Tigers over the Gators.

When taking the point spread and total into consideration, it’s implied that LSU will defeat Florida by a projected score of 30 to 25.

Our early pick: LSU -4.5 ... Florida’s quarterback situation is an open question as DJ Lagway is day to day, but either way Garrett Nussmeier should find some room against a Gators pass defense that ranks 90th nationally.
