The Tigers are a 13.5-point home favorite against the Gators, according to DraftKings Sportsbook.<\/p>\n

Florida, LSU Getting Into Meat of SEC Schedule<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Florida is coming off a 24-13 home victory over Auburn to move to 6-0 on the year. But the SEC schedule never gets easier: not only do the Gators have LSU this week, but they still have a clash with No. 3 Georgia coming on Nov. 2, among other tests.<\/p>\n

\n

LSU has had a relatively light schedule, outside of an early non-conference test against Texas.<\/a> Last week, the Tigers coasted to a 42-6 win over Utah State, but their schedule is ramping up quickly: in the next four weeks, they will play Florida, Auburn, and No. 1-ranked Alabama, likely needing to win at least two of those games to remain in playoff contention.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

According to LSU coach Ed Orgeron, the key for his team may be stopping Florida\u2019s explosive running game.<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously, watching the tape, the last couple years they\u2019ve run the football on us,\u201d Orgeron said at a pre-game press conference. \u201cWe can\u2019t let them run the football on us. Gotta be physical, got to tackle. Their back is an excellent back. [Florida coach] Dan [Mullen] is an excellent play-caller.\u201d<\/p>\n

Oklahoma, Penn State Favored Over Conference Foes<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Also on tap for Saturday is a Big 12 battle that sees the No. 6 Oklahoma Sooners (5-0) visit the No. 11 Texas Longhorns (4-1). Both teams are undefeated in conference play so far, with Texas\u2019 only blemish being the aforementioned loss to LSU.<\/p>\n

While this could be the toughest test remaining on Oklahoma\u2019s schedule, the Sooners still come in as a heavy favorite, as Oklahoma is a 10.5-point road favorite on Saturday. That said, Texas coach Lincoln Riley is expecting a game with plenty of swings for both sides.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are a lot of really good players on the field, a game that\u2019s extremely intense, that\u2019s important to both teams,\u201d Riley told reporters. \u201cI\u2019ll only speak to my history or my time with [this rivalry], but any battle we\u2019ve ever had with these guys, there\u2019s been a ton of momentum shifts back-and-forth.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Big Ten fans also have a big game to look forward to, as No. 10 Penn State (5-0) will visit No. 17 Iowa (4-1). Iowa is coming off a hard-fought 10-3 loss at Michigan, but will have another shot at knocking off one of the traditional conference powers on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Iowa will be the first ranked opponent for Penn State this season. The Nittany Lions will come into Iowa as 3.5-point favorites, despite being the road team.<\/p>\n

In the only other matchup featuring two ranked teams, No. 1 Alabama<\/a> (5-0) will travel to No. 24 Texas A&M (3-2), with the Crimson Tide coming into the game as an overwhelming 17-point favorite.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
