College Football 2017: 5 teams on upset alert in Week 7
By Shane Lunnen
After losing to LSU last week in the Swamp, the Gators will look to get back on track with another home game against Texas A&M. Florida is a minuscule two-point favorite.
Texas A&M enters this game 4-2, coming off a closer than expected loss to Alabama last week. The Aggies put up a fight against the Tide and look better now than the team that collapsed against UCLA and struggled to beat Nicholls State early in the season.
This will sound like a broken record, but Florida’s offense is a mess. LSU’s defense stymied the Gators last week, racking up five sacks and causing many Florida punts. A&M’s pass rush played well against Alabama, recording nine tackles for loss and three sacks. Look for the Aggies to get after quarterback Feleipe Franks early and often.

Florida has been living on borrowed time and I think the LSU could have a snowball effect. They have been undermanned all season and it’s about to catch up to them. No crazy uniforms will help the Gators in this one. Texas A&M will both off the small upset and Florida’s dreams of winning a third straight SEC East title will be on life support.
