Five Star College Football Picks – Who Covers The Spread – Florida @ LSU

Saturday, October 10th, 2009

The pros at FiveStarPick.com are looking forward to another winning Saturday in college football.  Today we will be giving our members several plays on the board, but the focus of today’s preview is the SEC showdown in Baton Rouge between the Florida Gators and the LSU Tigers.  Las Vegas sportsbooks list the Gators as 7.5-point road favorties with a total of 43 and that line will continue to fluctuate until the big question is anwered…Will Tim Tebow play?

The last time the Gators came to Baton Rouge as the No. 1 team in the country was in 1997.  Steve Spurrier abandoned the Fred Taylor rushing attack and gave QB Doug Johnson 50-plus pass attempts.  Kevin Faulk lit it up for LSU and the Tigers were able to pull out a 28-21 upset.

Meyer has lost both games at Tiger Stadium since taking over for Ron Zook at UF.  In 2005, LSU captured a 21-17 victory, but the Gators again hooked up their backers as 6-point dogs.

During UF’s bye week, Tebow didn’t practice, but underwent a series of post-concussion tests with the school’s medical staff. He returned to practice on Tuesday and Wednesday, but wore a non-contact jersey.  Meyer says Tebow’s status will be a gametime decision.

LSU (5-0 SU, 2-2-1 ATS) returns home after beating Georgia, 20-13.  Scott, LSU’s stud running back rushed 19 times for 95 yards and a pair of touchdowns, including the game winner from 33 yards out with :46 remaining on the clock. During the Les Miles era, LSU has only been a home dog once…when Nick Saban made his return to Tiger Stadium and led Alabama to a 27-21 overtime win as a 3-point favorite.

Chick-Fil-A Bowl Picks – LSU vs. Georgia Tech – Who Covers The Spread

Wednesday, December 31st, 2008

FiveStarPick.com is on a 10-5 ATS run this week for its members and looks to add a few more W’s to the win column today.  The focus of this preview is the Chick-Fil-A bowl which features the former National and SEC Champion LSU Tigers against a surging ACC running machine in Georgia Tech.  Las Vegas sportsbooks list the Yellow Jackets as 5-point favorites with the total set at 52.5.

Georgia Tech (9-3 straight up, 7-2-1 against the spread) showed the SEC what the triple option was all about as they gained 409 rushing yards and came from behind to beat Georgia 45-42.  Then went down south and pounced on Miami.

LSU (7-5 SU, 2-9 ATS), on the other hand, has lost back-to-back games, three of its last four and five of its last eight. Even worse, the Tigers have burned up the pockets of their backers with six consecutive ATS defeats. The Tigers were handed a 31-30 loss at Arkansas as 7-point favorites; and their defense has looked terrible.  LSU gave up a last-second game-winning score to the Razorbacks on the second fourth-down conversion of that drive. In addition, the unit has surrendered 31 points in each of the last three games.

LSU’s offense was somewhat productive with true freshman quarterback Jordon Jefferson running the show against the Hogs. Jefferson, who will get the starting nod against Ga. Tech, ran for 57 yards and threw for 143 at Arkansas.

So who covers the spread in tonight’s game?  FiveStarPick.com is here to help. Aren’t you tired of getting cold called by services that tell you about their 750,000 star play that’s a guaranteed winner. Here is a bit of advice…NOTHING is guaranteed when you are betting on sports.  These so called “handicappers” call 500 people a day and give them all a free play; 250 people will get LSU+5 and 250 will get Ga Tech -5.  After the game ends, they call back the 250 people who won and pitch them on charging thousands of dollars to their credit cards for more guaranteed winners.   We are not your typical sports handicapping service.  We care about our members and we live and die on every play. Why?  Because we are moving thousands of dollars of our own money on the same plays we give you. Gambling on sports is how we make our living.  Do we win every play?  Absolutely not and we will never pretend to.  Our plays are always posted for all to see, including our losing streaks. But by the end of the year we always seem to have a few hundred thousand dollars of the sportsbook’s money in our casino account.  Let us try and do the same for you.  Join our family of winners today and start your winning streak tonight.
