The Florida Gators are playing the better ball right now, and they’ve shown they can win on the road. I understand why oddsmakers lean to the Gators here. However, the LSU Tigers have been arguably the better team over the course of the entire season, and they’re at home, where they win by an average of 9 points. Big conference game. Give me LSU and the free bucket.
