The Bleacher report: "
Something has got to give. A magnificent offense—and yes, LSU has provided that and then some—going up against Florida’s unbelievable defense.
While the Gators sit at No. 93 in points for, they’re also No. 4 in points against. With quarterback Tyler Murphy filling in, there’s a sudden bit of optimism in an offense that has lacked it over the past two seasons. Murphy was solid against Arkansas in Week 6, and the defense did exactly what we've grown accustomed to seeing.
For LSU, a letdown against Mississippi State felt likely. In fact, for a while, it was a reality. The offense picked it up in the second half, and the Tigers easily covered the touchdown spread on the road.
Quarterback Zach Mettenberger will get his biggest test yet—as will this impressive group of wideouts—and the Tigers will likely fall well short of the 45.5 points per game they are averaging thus far. It won’t be pretty, and it certainly won’t be easy for the still inexperienced Tyler Murphy on the road. But the Gators defense will keep them in this game.
The Pick: Florida (+7)"
