Both of these teams are undefeated, and they are giving every indication that this season in the Southeastern Conference is going to be one heck of a race to the end. LSU is 5-0 straight-up and 2-3 against the football pointspread, and they are currently rated #5 in the Coaches Poll, and sixth by the Associated Press. Florida started the season unranked and coming off a 7-6 campaign in 2014 which got coach Will Muschamp fired. McElwain, the former offensive coordinator and Alabama and head coach at Colorado State, was brought on board, and so far the Gators’ record has been spotless. They are 6-0 and have covered the pointspread in five of those games, with consecutive conference victories over Kentucky, Tennessee, Ole Miss and Missouri.
Will Grier started the season basically splitting time at quarterback with Treon Harris, but as things progressed, McElawin gave him more and more responsibility, and with big efforts against Ole Miss and Tennessee, the freshman seized the job. He completed 66% of his passes with 10 touchdowns, but his season is now over. Grier has been suspended by the NCAA for taking an illegal performance-enhancing drug, and the punishment was stiff; he has to, in effect, sit out a whole year, which means the rest of this season and the first six games of the 2016 campaign. Florida is appealing that ruling, and they are confident they can get Grier’s 2016 suspension lifted, but there is virtually no chance he will see any more action in 2015.

That basically leaves things in the hands of Harris, who has thrown only 27 passes this season (completing 19). Vietbet patrons who saw Florida in action last year would consider Harris to be a relatively shaky proposition; after all, he was just 49.5% accurate and is much better known for his ability to run with the football.
Speaking of running with the football, LSU likes to think it has the guy who is the best in the business on the collegiate level in Leonard Fournette, who has emerged as a Heisman Trophy favorite. Fournette has already run for 1022 yards on an 8.6-yard average with a dozen touchdowns. He is basically a one-man offense, because LSU doesn’t really get a lot of production at of quarterback Brandon Harris, who is completed only 51 passes. For a school that has put out so many outstanding receivers – the latest among them Odell Beckham of the New York Giants and Jarvis Landry of the Miami Dolphins – they only have two receivers who have topped 100 yards – TOTAl – on the season.

So naturally, things are very squarely in the hands of Fournette, who, unbelievably, is priced at -215 to win the Heisman at Vietbet, where reduced juice is the order of the day, and customers can feast on a lot of proposition bets and exotic wagers, not to mention very thrilling live in-game betting…… You can use your Visa card or Bitcoin to open up an account!
