Joe D’Amico’s FREE NCAAF SATURDAY WINNER (171) Texas A&M vs. (172) LSU 

It’s no secret prior to last season’s road loss to the Gators, the Tigers dominated their conference rival, winning and covering five straight matchups. Playing in “The Swamp” certainly changes things. This matchup is at Tiger Stadium where LSU enjoys beating up visitors. Especially ones they get to exact some revenge on from a prior loss. They opened up this season with a big road win and cover at Clemson, and did beat up on Louisiana Tech last week. But was a bit flat in possibly a letdown situation. That’s why I feel they come back this week and make a statement. Florida opened their campaign up by shellacking LIU, only to get caught looking last week, losing to South Florida 18-16, as an 18.0-point favorite. Maybe they were looking to head to this matchup this week. But I think they’re in real trouble here, folks. Rumors are starting Gators quarterback D.J. Lagway is not 100% healthy (check status). Nussmeier might not be as flashy. But he’s got the talent, the leadership, and certainly has the receivers. If this line was a little bit lower, I would’ve made it a premium release. But I still like LSU. Thank you.
