Florida @ No. 19 LSU (-13.5) (O/U 63.5)

Evan: Florida is real bad and it makes me feel real good, as an anti-Gator living in Northeast Florida. Want to hear something really rich? Local Florida beat writers think Lane Kiffin should be the move after they inevitably boot Billy Napier to the curb. College football is a circus. LSU -13.5

Justin: Remember when all of us Mississippi State fans wanted Billy Napier after Joe Moorhead was let go? It’s possible that same guy isn’t going to make it to year three at Florida. The Bayou Bengals should roll. LSU -13.5

Ryan: LSU just has too much firepower for Florida to even come close. LSU -13.5

John: LSU should absolutely crush Florida. Should. I’ll go with them. LSU -13.5

Ethan: I still think Billy Napier would’ve worked out in Starkville (assuming Mississippi State fans would’ve been patient with a rebuild). Anyway, he’s on the hot seat for a reason and the Gators have struggled in recent weeks. That program has been a mess for several years now (predating Napier’s arrival) and it hasn’t gotten better this season. Meanwhile, Brian Kelly’s LSU Tigers are taking solid strides toward actually being a great team. Weird how things work out. LSU -13.5

Andrew: Have y’all just forgotten how bad the LSU defense is? And the Gator offense is actually solid. Florida’s own defense has been problematic, so LSU shouldn’t have any issues scoring. But I’m not confident they make enough stops to cover. Florida +13.5
