    Well I was actually curious as to why.

    Didn't you think 7 was sounding about right?

    No I don't think UF will score a lot of points all on it's own (like long time consuming drives). I think they could generate 13 points on us the entire game if we didn't turn the ball over and won the special teams battle.

    The problem is the likelihood of multiple turnovers and numerous penalties by the Tigers is really high and if that ends up being the case, then Florida could be seen putting up 20-30 points on us.

    The O/U is 27 amd the Gators are a 7 point favorite. Vegas must think Gators 17-10.

    You do realize they set those lines for you to lose right?

    ETA: That sounded bad...what I meant is that odds aren't meant as a prediction, they are meant to entice a beat favorable for the house.

    I think we go in and blow Florida away.

    Ridley will rush for over 100 yrd again. Lee will pass for over 250 yrds. Defense will shut Fl down to 13 or less points. I say we win by 24-10.

    Well, the offense has given me no reason to believe we'll break 20. But the defense has given me no reason to believe they'll break 14.

    I'm going with 15-13 Tigers.

    And no, 7 didn't sound right to me. Again, they've not shown they can even get in the EZ on a good defense, and they have not shown they can shut down the run. They're an OK defense, but they aren't LSU. They aren't even Bama. FWIW, no, I don't think LSU has the run game Bama has. Ingram just isn't...fair.

    And yes, that 15 for LSU is 5 FGs.
