Take the Over in LSU vs UF

In the Billy Napier era at Florida, the best bet at legit college football betting sites for practically all 22 of their games versus SEC opponents has been on the over. The over has hit 16 times, compared to only 6 unders.

That 72.7% success rate alone is a strong reason to bet the over for LSU vs Florida, but the trend gets even more significant when bettors look at their last 13 games versus SEC members. In those 13 games, the over has hit 12 times.

Very similar trends emerge when looking at Brian Kelly’s LSU Tigers teams over the past few seasons in the SEC.

For one, 15 of the last 19 games for LSU vs SEC opponents have gone over their total set at legal sports betting websites. In those 19 games, LSU was on the road ten times. The over hit in 8 of those games 10 games.

Another trend that supports the over is the matchup history between the Tigers and Gators.

Eight of the past 10 games between the two SEC foes have gone over their respective totals, including the last six straight.

This game is also likely to go over 55.0 points based on each team’s defensive weakness that Garrett Nussmeier and DJ Lagway (expected to play) may be able to take advantage of. Per SEC defensive statistics, the points allowed per game by LSU (24.89) and Florida (27.56) are both among the four worst in the conference.

With weak defenses and many trends supporting the bet as well, the best bet for LSU vs Florida is on the over.
