LSU vs Florida Pickswise Expert Predictions

Point Spread Pick
Florida -14.5(-115)

The LSU Tigers will travel to Gainesville on Tuesday night for a SEC matchup against the Florida Gators. LSU played well to the begin the season, starting an impressive 12-1 but have struggled to begin conference play. They have lost four out of their last five games and are just 1-4 in league play. LSU is headed in the wrong direction while Florida is playing their best basketball of the season. The Gators are coming off a massive road win against undefeated Vanderbilt. They are the better team here and I expect them to cover the spread.

Florida is currently -14.5 and the Gators to cover is my best bet. The Gators are 4-1 in SEC play and have the No. 1 rated in offense in the the country at Bart Torvik since January 1st. Since that date, Florida is ranked #1 in adjusted offensive efficiency and #32 in adjusted defensive efficiency while LSU is ranked #106 and #114. Florida has not been a good shooting team, but they should be able to dominate inside. Take Florida to cover here.

*Florida -14.5 available at time of publishing. Playable at -15*
