Minnesota +7500
LSU (+1000)
LSU's record-setting offense last year led to a championship celebration. Almost every player who played a part in that push is gone, in addition to offensive coordinator Joe Brady. That's an automatic red flag.
The Tigers are virtually starting over from scratch, and only four teams nationally return fewer starters from last season.
After losing 16 players to the draft, LSU isn't a team I'd be rushing to bet.
Florida (+1200)
The love for Florida isn't surprising.
The Gators quietly won 11 games in 2019 while LSU stole the SEC spotlight. Florida's offense didn't skip a beat after losing quarterback Feleipe Franks just a few games into the year, with Kyle Trask seamlessly leading the charge, registering 2,941 passing yards and 25 touchdowns through the air in 10 starts.
Momentum likely played a role in Florida rising up the board. The market loves strong finishes, and the Gators fit the bill following their +104 scoring margin over the final four games in 2019.
I like Florida as a sleeper more than most. But at 12-1? In the SEC? I don't see much value here, especially after the Gators opened at 14-1.
