Florida is listed as a 1.5-point road favorite with a total for this game set at 143.5 points.

Matchup History

Florida’s 82-75 win over Georgia back on January 7th, 2023, made it seven straight wins for the Gators in this head-to-head matchup.

Trends

Florida is 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games overall and 0-5 ATS in their last 5 road games while the over is 7-0 in their last 7 games overall. Georgia is 1-11 ATS in their last 12 games overall and 1-11 ATS in their last 12 games against a team with a losing record while the over is 4-1 in their last 5 games following an ATS loss.

Pick

I’m backing the over here. The Gators’ interior defense has really taken a hit without Colin Castleton as a rim protector, and this may be a favorable matchup for Georgia to do some damage inside. On the other hand, Georgia still stinks and aren’t really a team worth backing for much of anything if we’re being completely honest. I just think we’re headed for a high-scoring game here. Give me the over.
