On the whole, Florida is at their best level since Urban Meyer was coach. Third-year head man Dan Mullen was Meyer’s offensive coordinator back then. Since his return to Gainesville improvement has been noticeably quick. Texas A&M’s College football betting upset of Florida on Saturday is an exception. By contrast, LSU is in full regression. New defensive coordinator Bo Pelini has been getting schooled. Mizzou was the latest team to move at will on the Bayou Bengals. LSU was never going to duplicate their perfect 2019 season. However, nobody saw them being this bad so soon.

LSU Tigers at Florida Gators CashBet Wagering Analysis
On this occasion, LSU will struggle to attract sportsbook odds handle. Squares are terrified of the lack of defense. What’s more, Florida is respected at home. Their loss at Texas A&M is viewed by most as understandable.
Toothless Tigers Defense Mauled at Mizzou
LSU lost 45-41 Saturday at Missouri as 14-point road chalks. Over the total of 52 was a winner too. As a result, the Bayou Bengals are 1-2 straight up and against the spread. Two of their games cleared the Betting on college football total. Offensively LSU ranks 17th overall and 17th for scoring. Of major concern is a defense that ranks 71st overall and 52nd for points allowed. Mizzou’s win was no accident as they outgained LSU 586-479. So too did the Tigers overcome a -3-turnover margin.
New defensive coordinator Bo Pelini gets full blame for the disaster. LSU coach Ed Orgeron personally sought out Pelini after Dave Aranda departed for Baylor. Of course, Pelini was defensive coordinator for LSU’s 2007 national championship team. But times and offenses have dramatically changed since then. Orgeron himself said the loss at Mizzou was all on the defense.
