The Gators upset No. 5 LSU 27-19 in Gainesville last year. Florida scored all its points after the end of the first quarter.

LSU marched 75 yards on 10 plays to open the game but never looked the same. QB Joe Burrow was sacked five times.
UF leads the all-time series 33-29-3 and has won two of the past three. The past five Florida vs LSU games all have been decided by eight points or fewer.

Why Bet on Florida?
The Gators stayed unbeaten with a 24-13 win over No. 7 and previously unbeaten Auburn last Saturday. Fourth-year junior quarterback Kyle Trask passed for 234 and a pair of first-half touchdowns, but his three fumbles kept the Tigers hanging around. Credit the UF defense for holding its ground by stifling one of the SEC’s most potent offenses. Lamical Perine’s 88-yard touchdown run was the fifth-longest rushing play in school history, and it was the longest since Emmitt Smith’s 96-yard touchdown run against Mississippi State on Sept. 24, 1988.
It had been seven years — October 2012 — since two undefeated and top 10-ranked teams played in the “Swamp.” Florida has won each of the last five matchups between two top-10 teams in The Swamp, and its all-time record in top-10 matchups in The Swamp improves to 13-5.
The Gators have won 10 consecutive games for the first time since the school-record 22-game winning streak that spanned the final 10 games of 2008 and first 12 games of 2009. Florida’s winning streak is the longest active streak in the SEC, and tied Appalachian State for the third-longest active winning streak in the FBS (Ohio State – 11; Clemson – 19.
Florida is off to its first 6-0 start since the 2015 season – after which it traveled to LSU. UF has outscored its opponents 112-17 in the second half this season, including a 64-7 advantage in the fourth quarter (DeeJay Dallas’ 50-yard touchdown run in the Miami game is the only time this season an opponent scored in the fourth quarter). The Gators have outscored their opponents 115-16 over the last 13 quarters of football.
Against the Top Teams
Florida is 4-1 against ranked opponents under Dan Mullen, including a 3-1 record against top-10 teams (and 1-1 against top-5 teams). From 2010-17, Florida went 5-11 against top-10 teams, and it was 9-26 against all ranked opponents. Prior to beating No. 5 LSU last season, Florida had lost nine of its last 11 games against top-five teams, a stretch that dated back to the start of the 2010 season.
