If anyone remembers what happened between LSU and Florida last year, let’s just say that Marco Wilson is still not in the good graces of Gator fans for what he did. With the game on the line, Florida made a huge stop and Wilson took an LSU player’s shoe, tossed it, and was flagged for an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, putting the Tigers in field goal position where they hit the game-winner.

Florida wants revenge here in Baton Rouge and while I think the Tigers will be much better than they were last season when they finished 5-5, I think the Gators win here.

And yes, it’ll be by a last-minute field goal. Revenge will be so sweet.

Final Score: Florida 30, LSU 27 (6-1, 4-1)

Florida got a big win in this rivalry last season but the Bulldogs didn’t have a healthy JT Daniels for the matchup and the offense was nothing short of disappointing.

Daniels will be a full-go this season and after his red-hot finish to the 2020 season, he should help the Bulldogs make a playoff push. He finished with 1,231 yards and 10 touchdowns, completing over 65 percent of his passes. He looked like the real deal and shouldn’t have a shortage of weapons either.

The defense was elite last year, but it only returns four starters so there could be some growing pains. This one will be close, but the Bulldogs exact revenge.

Final Score: Florida 30, Georgia 34 (6-2, 4-2)
