When it comes to Florida vs LSU betting for this massive Saturday night clash, all eyes and ears are waiting for news on one player and a concussion that threatens to keep him out of this game, as well as his team’s No.1 ranking.

Florida vs LSU Betting – Saturday, October 11, 8:00 PM ET

The No.1 Gators’ top-ranked ground game depends heavily on quarterback Tim Tebow, who suffered a concussion in a 41-7 win two weeks ago at Kentucky. The former Heisman winner hasn’t been cleared to play as of Tuesday, and coach Urban Meyer may leave this until game-time. This means John Brantley will be making his first-ever start for the Gators, and this isn’t a good thing for Florida‘s sports book odds: the Gators opened as a 9.5-point favorite, but have since dropped to 7.5 and it’s possible that it’ll drop more.

The No.4 Tigers got two rushing touchdowns from Charles Scott in the fourth quarter of an enthralling 20-13 win at Georgia, capping a big day on the ground for LSU as they ran for 156 yards. A productive rushing attack is exactly what the Tigers need, because quarterback Jordan Jefferson doesn’t exactly inspire confidence. He was 18-of-27 for 212 yards and a pick, and he’s much better as a game manager, not a player who will win a game for you. LSU is also 17^th in the nation in points allowed.

Betting services are waiting to hear what’s going on with Tebow, so keep a close eye on the online wagering line as we come closer to game time. Florida has won six of their last 10 against the Tigers, including a 51-21 destruction at home last year, but LSU has won 32 night games in a row at Tiger Stadium, as known as “Death Valley“, one of the craziest places to play in all of college football. LSU gained some respect with their gutsy win between the hedges at Georgia, and look for them to blow the national-championship race wide open with a victory. Take the Tigers over Florida in your sports picks this weekend.
