The LSU Tigers are 5-1 SUATS as favorites of 3.5 to 10 points since 2011<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Florida has put together a three-game winning streak since suffering its only loss to Miami, as it comes off a 30-10 victory over the Arkansas Razorbacks as 12.5-point home favorites last Saturday.\u00a0 The Gators are 31-25-3 all-time against the Tigers, including a dead even 5-5 mark in the last 10 meetings, which is important to consider when making your college football predictions in Week 7.\u00a0 In its last 17 regular-season games, the program has compiled a 15-2 record, which ranks eighth nationally in that category.\u00a0 Florida is 6-4 SUATS on the road the last two-plus seasons.<\/p>\n

The Gators have to be impressed with quarterback Tyler Murphy, who completed 16-of-22 passes for a career-high 240 yards and three touchdowns in his first career home start.\u00a0 Florida\u2019s defense is certainly one of the best nationally, as it trails only one team in allowing just 217.0 yards per game.\u00a0 The team is allowing just 2.8 yards per carry and\u00a0 has surrendered just three rushing scores\u2014both ninth in the country in those categories.<\/p>\n

LSU bounced back from its only loss of the season, as it picked up a 59-26 victory over the Mississippi State Bulldogs as seven-point road favorites last Saturday, while going OVER the betting total for a sixth consecutive contest.\u00a0 The Tigers have scored a touchdown on their opening drive in four straight affairs, which is important to consider when looking over the college football odds page.\u00a0 Offensively, the team has thrown for 300 or more yards in back-to-back games for the first time since 2008.\u00a0 LSU is 5-1 SUATS as favorites of 3.5 to 10 points the last two-plus seasons, with no clear edge in the betting total (3-3 Over\/Under).<\/p>\n

The Tigers are led by the play of quarterback Zach Mettenberger, who improved to 15-4 as a starter with last week\u2019s win.\u00a0 He completed 86.2 percent of his passes for 340 yards and two touchdowns against the Bulldogs\u2014connecting with wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. nine times for 179 yards and both scores.<\/p>\n

Sports bettors will likely play the total in this affair, as the OVER is 5-1 in the Tigers\u2019 last six games against Southeastern Conference rivals.<\/p>\n
