Florida vs Texas A&M Prediction 

Both of these teams come into this matchup ranked in the top 12 in the country, but Florida will have the home court advantage. The Gators are coming off of a loss on the road against Georgia, but they have won six of their last seven games. Florida is shooting 46.7% from the field this year and they are scoring over 83 points per game. Texas A&M has dropped three games in a row and they are shooting just 42% from the field this year. The Aggies have really relied on their defense this season, but they have allowed 86 and 77 points in their last two games. I do think Florida gets the win in this game, but I think this is too many points for a Florida team that has had some struggles in their last two games. Take A&M here.
