I thought the line would've been -3'or -4; Are the Gators finally finding some traction offensively and defensively ? I still feel the "jury" is out.

Mack, the line opened at -3 and has been moved to -2.5. It is -3 in a couple places with heavy juice.
It's early (Tuesday) but 63% of public is betting LSU right now which is probably a good sign for the
Gators since the line went down. Like I said, it is early so that could change.

Top of RX page find (Betting Odds & Lines) and it will show who the public is betting on. Reverse line
movements can be helpful at times.

Thanks for the insight Clover, I guess the "brush" I paint with covers perception rather than betting trends and line movements. I'm still not in Frank's camp, far too emotional and "high schoolish" with his sideline antics which demonstrates a lack of maturity IMO ..I'm certain a lot of coaches have to deal with this issue today. He may be a great athlete but his "cream" hasn't risen to the top from what I've seen to date ......We shall see.

lsu has georgia next week at home. has to play into the line a little. florida is good but not on lsu's level but very possible the tigers could be looking past florida.

I have been to many LSU/Florida games in Gainesville during the past 35 plus years, they were usually very competitive match-ups no matter what the rankings were with the exceptions recently being in 2011, 2002, 2001 and 1993 as I recall. Another fact is the Tiger Fans always traveled en-mass especially so, when they were in the "hunt" for an SEC title and now, a shot at a play-off berth albeit a long one.

It will be a good time to see if the Gators have learned anything from those two SEC road wins or from that loss against Kentucky.

LSU -2'..........damn, do the odds makers want all that money on the Tigers ???? That question seeks an answer from someone who is way beyond my pay-grade.

LSU has three straight home games after

Georgia
Miss St
Alabama

No way in hell they win all 3 home games. Nope. No sir. As for this game it is their toughest road game remaining. They only won there by 1 last year. LSU has already won on the road against Auburn as a 10 point dog. Beat Miami Fl neutral field. Florida is improving. This could be tough. They better win. If not, it is a guaranteed 2 losses and that is trouble . All this being said you got to play LSU or nothing IMO

Well said Exploited,,,,,Gosh, that's what this forum is all about....None of us are too old to learn....Sports handicapping (especially college football) is more than an art form surrounded by a mass of statistics, the human element and the actions and conduct on and off the field involving 18-22 year old kids is where the real challenge exists ......

One thing to consider is that Dan Mullen ran his mouth after last year's Miss. State win against LSU. He said the LSU defense was very basic and easy to read. Of course, the Tigers were playing without three starting DL, but LSU's defensive coordinator (Dave Aranda) took extreme exception to this and I'm being told that Aranda has had this date with Mullen circled for a year.

Would you really wager on Felipe Franks with the amount of pressure that LSU's defense is going to put on him? Forget that.

LSU 28-10

I know you are a big LSU fan Pete,- but I also recognize that you put the facts ahead of emotions when it comes to wagering on sports (especially college football). When I first saw the Florida/LSU line (LSU -3') I couldn't believe my eyes; I see a 27-13 final (the Tigers (prevailing). I'm not in Frank's camp to date.

HAHAHA.. How are you not broke yet? LSU has no pass rush man. You would have taken the L last year if not for a missed PAT. I hope you bet this for GOY type money.

This should be a close game. As a UF fan, of course I hope they win....but I agree w/ Pete on Franks. He's not had to win a game yet (put it on his shoulders). He has done well managing what Mullen wants him to do. UF is only averaging 59 plays/game. I see this very low scoring, somewhere along the lines of LSU 16-10.

“Missed PAT”

You see, they make it real easy for the perpetrator when it comes to ass raping. And that’s what the Tigers are gonna do in The Swamp on Saturday. A LOT of assraping. We just gonna slide those short cut jorts you white trash meth heads like to wear, and we’re coming in dry. YOU hear me, BOY. Now go on and make your bet with LSUPete. Yeah, that’s What I thought. Typcail, mouth running, Coward Gator
