LSU’s last appearance in front of its home crowd saw the Tigers drop a tough 10-0 decision to Alabama and though that may have been a bitter pill to swallow, they may be in a good spot this week when they host the Florida Gators. The Tigers have not lost two home games in a row since 2002, winning their past 13 games in Death Valley following a loss in their previous home outing.

- The visiting team is 1-4 SU and ATS in the last 5 games between Florida and LSU.
- The UNDER has gone 7-1-1 in LSU’s nine games this season.

Florida has been dealing with more than its fair share of injuries, having lost multiple starters on both sides of the ball over the past few weeks. The Gators have leaned on their defense, as they have held opponents to 14 points or less in seven of their nine games.
