LSU Tigers
LSU Tigers This week's installment of the SEC game of the week features the no. 4 ranked LSU Tigers heading to Gainesville to take on the no. 11 ranked Florida Gators. It is the first time in 18 years that the National Champions from the previous two years have met in a regular season game. Betting odds makers say that the Gators are 6 point favorites in the Swamp.

Even with LSU winning two of the last three meetings in Gainesville, Tigers coach Les Miles will not be taking this one lightly.

"If you find any weaknesses, tell me," Miles said. "They don't have any weaknesses. Being ranked (No. 11) is underselling them some. It will be our strengths against their strengths. This game will be fun to play. The players will enjoy this one.

For the Tigers, trying to stop Florida quarterback Tim Tebow will be a must. Florida’s signal caller was 17-of-26
for 217 yards and two touchdowns a week ago against Arkansas. In last year’s match-up with LSU, Tebow threw for two scores and ran for another. This season, the junior Heisman Trophy winner has passed for more than 1,000 yards and eight touchdowns. To be successful, LSU will have to contain the Florida quarterback early and set the tone.

"Everything's based on momentum, confidence and that swagger that people talk about," said Tebow.

The Gators hope to have running back Percy Harvin in the line-up after he sprained an ankle against Arkansas. Harvin has five touchdowns in four games so far in 2008. If the Gators can get Harvin going and Tebow is playing well, they will be hard to stop.

SEC games are usually tough. This one will be no different. Look for both teams to play hard for four quarters and it will be close. The Gators win but don’t cover. Take LSU getting the points on the road.
