(1) Florida Gators vs (4) LSU Tigers
\nSaturday, October 10, 8:00 p.m. ET<\/p>\n
NCAA football odds favorite: Florida -8<\/p>\n
As good as Florida\u2019s offense is, it\u2019s not necessarily \u201ccomplete.\u201d Ultimately, Tim Tebow is its driving force. Not only is he a mobile passer who can make big plays in or out of the pocket, he\u2019s never afraid to turn upfield and run with reckless abandon. He\u2019s rushed for 271 yards and five scores in four games. His severe concussion, however, is extremely problematic. If he doesn\u2019t play, the Gators\u2019 offense isn\u2019t nearly as dangerous. If he does play, it\u2019s like asking Ben Roethlisberger to play with a concussion \u2013 it just won\u2019t work well, is Tebow\u2019s success depends on his fearlessness and physicality.<\/p>\n
LSU\u2019s offense is much more balanced. Jordan Jefferson is doing a good job under center and he has a talented group of targets led by Brandon LaFell. Charles Scott and Keiland Williams also give the Tigers a competent running game.<\/p>\n
Defensively, LSU may be set up better for success this Saturday. Sure, Jefferson has to watch his back after getting sacked six times last week, but Florida\u2019s pass rush isn\u2019t great. The Tigers don\u2019t hurry the quarterback much either but they\u2019re a good run-stopping team; the held Georgia to 45 yards last week. That makes LSU a tough matchup for a run-first offense like Florida\u2019s according to betting services<\/a>, especially if with Tebow out or playing at less than 100 per cent.<\/p>\n The Tigers have a massive challenge as eight-point underdogs against the best team in the nation but couldn\u2019t catch Florida at a better time thanks to Tebow\u2019s situation. Look for LSU to ride their home crowd to a victory or at least beat the spread.<\/p>\n Sports bet online pick: LSU +8<\/p>\n Poolside rants weighs in with some picks for Saturday’s football action…college style.
