NCAA College Football – LSU Fighting Tigers vs. Florida Gators
The SEC Conference this season looks a lot like the SEC Conference last season. The LSU Fighting Tigers are undefeated and looking to win the SEC straight-up while the Florida Gators already have a loss and might be looking at a second loss.
The LSU Fighting Tigers have been one of the best teams versus the BetUS online wagering spread in the SEC for years. Things have been different this season as LSU is only 1 and 2 versus the BetUS online wagering spread. That’s not going to cut it for college football betting fans. But this is LSU. They always play well in the biggest games.
Florida was the favorite to win the SEC Conference this year, but that may have changed after their loss to Ole Miss as a 23 point online wagering favorite. Because Florida has been suspect to huge online betting upsets, there’s no way that BetUS Sportsbook fans can feel good about wagering on these guys. Then again, on paper this team is better than the LSU Fighting Tigers.
Here are the BetUS online sportsbook NCAAF betting odds for this game:
Kick-off: 10/11/2008 8:00 pm est.
LSU Fighting Tigers + 5 ½ – 110 + 200
Florida Gators – 5 ½ – 110 – 240
Here are a few online wagering trends that might help us find a good online bet in this game:
The LSU Fighting Tigers are 4 and 1 in their last 5 games on the road versus a team with a winning home record.
The Road team is 6 and 1 against the spread the last 7 times these two teams have met.
The Florida Gators are 4 and 1 against the spread in their last 5 games versus a rival from the SEC Conference.
The Underdog is 5 and 1 against the spread in the last 6 meetings between these two teams.
The Florida Gators may be the better team on paper, but I don’t think they are ready to take on the LSU Fighting Tigers in this game. To me this comes to down to the team that believes it more.
That would be the LSU Fighting Tigers who truly believe that they should be in the BCS Championship game every year.
Week 7 NCAA-F Prediction:
I’m going to have to go with the Tigers in this one. The 5 ½ points are just too many for me to pass up in a game where both LSU and Florida figure to play their butts off.
I’ll be making an online wager on the Tigers to beat the online betting spread.
