Randy’s Pick
The LSU Tigers are obviously the more talented team and could blast their way to victory. However, this is an early start, a day after Thanksgiving and not exactly a highlight game. Just how motivated will LSU be to lay the wood? We know North Florida will be up for it, as it doesn’t get these chances often. North Florida has also hung around this season through 6 games and has shown flashes offensively. Give me the boatload of points.
