Georgia vs Florida Prediction 2/25/25 College Basketball Picks Today

In this article, we will formulate a Georgia vs Florida Prediction for this college basketball game on Tuesday,  February 25th, at the Stegman Coliseum. Let’s take a look at a Georgia Bulldogs vs Florida Gators pick. 

When these two teams faced off on January 25th, it was Florida that secured the 89-59 victory. 

Georgia is ice-cold

Georgia is ice-cold heading into this game, having lost four straight games against Mississippi State, Texas A&M, Missouri, and Auburn. It was a tough matchup against Auburn, and they actually stuck around decently. In the second half, though, the defense gave up 53 points, which led to the defeat. Georgia shot only 38.6 percent from the field and 31.8 percent from deep. The defense had no answer for Johni Broome either, and the defense will be tested again in this game. 

Georgia overall sits with a 16-11 record, and they have gone 13-14 against the spread. The offense hasn’t been great, but the defense is ranked 82nd, and they will need the defense to step up here in a big way. If the defense struggles, this could be a very long game. Asa Newell has been the top player, averaging 15.4 points while shooting 55.3 percent from the field and 29.4 percent from behind the three-point line. Tyrin Lawrence is dealing with an undisclosed injury, but he’s probable for this game. 

Florida Just Keeps Winning

Florida just keeps winning games, but the last game wasn’t perfect. At halftime against LSU, Florida was down 37-31, but in the second half, they outscored 48-28, which was enough for the victory. Florida shot 44.3 percent from the field and 31.8 percent from deep. They also went 10-14 from the free-throw line. Reuben Chinyelu had a huge game, putting up 19 points, 13 points, and two assists. Five different players put up at least 11 points. It’s going to need to be a balanced attack. Alex Condon missed the game with an injury, but he’s expected to be back for this game, and that’s a big boost. 

Florida has a 24-3 record overall and has gone 20-7 against the spread. As the favorite, they have gone 22-1. Florida is averaging 83.6 points, while their defense is giving up 66.3 points per game. They want to push the pace, but in the first game, the defense was actually super impressive, and this would be a chance to make another statement with the defense. Walter Clayton Jr is having a huge season, averaging 17.1 points while shooting 44.9 percent from the field and 36.5 percent from deep. I would expect Florida to try to push the pace again here. 

Why Florida Will Beat Georgia

• Florida has won 21 of its last 22 games against non-AP-ranked opponents.
• Georgia has lost each of its last six games against Top 10 AP-ranked opponents.
• Florida has won the first half in eight of its last 10 games against Georgia.

Total Points Facts

• Twelve of Florida’s last 15 night games against Conference opponents have produced a total of 149+ points.

Georgia vs Florida Prediction

Remember what happened the first time these two teams faced off? The Georgia offense couldn’t get anything going, and their defense couldn’t make any stops. Florida is averaging 83.6 points, and they are going to have no issue against a Georgia defense that I don’t trust. Florida is 5-0 against the spread in their last five games following an against-the-spread win, and it will be much of the same here. Florida has just too many scorers, and they will end up cruising here. Back Florida will win this game and cover the spread.
