Stewart Mandel's prediction:
No. 5 LSU (-2.5) at No. 22 Florida, 3:30 p.m. ET, CBS
It’s two teams trending in the right direction, both with some great athletes on defense that get after the quarterback. But I’ve got more confidence in Tigers QB Joe Burrow going on the road and making opportune plays through the air than I do in Gators counterpart Feleipe Franks, despite the fact Franks statistically is having the slightly better season. LSU 24, Florida 20
Bruce Feldman's prediction:
No. 5 LSU at No. 22 Florida (+2.5), 3:30 p.m. ET, CBS
The banged-up Tigers O-line faces a tall task in Todd Grantham’s frenzied defense, which leads the nation in red-zone TD percentage (holding opponents to 25 percent efficiency). Plus, Dan Mullen really carved up the Tigers D last year. Florida 17, LSU 13
Hearing the lswho OL is banged up gives me some hope. If our D can duplicate what they did in the 2nd half of the msu game, we’ve got a chance.
