Five Star College Football Picks – Who Covers The Spread – Florida @ LSU
Saturday, October 10th, 2009The 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.
