All eyes will be on the Tigers this Saturday as LSU hosts Florida for the annual cross-divisional matchup. There is a lot on the line for both teams despite the level of disinterest surrounding the game.
As LSU stated for this series against Florida, “expect the unexpected.” Last season the home team had it all wrapped up until a thrown Kole Taylor shoe gave the Tigers new life. Cade York sent the 57-yard attempt through the uprights and onto the stunning victory in the Swamp.
What could we be in store for in this year’s matchup? LSU released a hype video for the game.

As far as the game itself, early betting odds provided by Tipico Sportsbook had Florida opening as 9.5 point favorites. With the circumstances surround this game, that line has only continued to grow.

At the rate that LSU is losing players for the season, it wouldn’t be shocking to see that like get to 14 by kickoff.
I don't think I have ever seen anything like this.
Yesterday the LSU Tigers likely lost two more players for the season.
