Georgia at Florida: Three things you need to know

1. The Bulldogs slapped the brakes on a four-game skip with a 15-point win over Texas A&M last time out. While they have been losing fairly regularly lately, they are 3-1 ATS across the past four outings.

2. The Gators kept Vanderbilt’s conference losing skid intact with a 61-55 win in Nashville Saturday, but the Gators failed to cover for the third consecutive outing.

3. Florida F Kerry Blackshear Jr. leads the team with 14.0 points and 8.3 rebounds per game, and he is hitting his 3-pointers at a 31.7-percent clip across 21 outings. He is one of four players on the Gators roster averaging double-digit points.

Prediction

Florida 76, Georgia 70

Moneyline (ML)

The Gators (-500) should win this one rather handily, but it’s not wise to risk five times the return on investment. The Bulldogs are +375.

Against the Spread (ATS)

The Gators (-9.5, -110) have been having some trouble against the spread lately, although they are getting it done in the win-loss column. As such, roll with GEORGIA (+9.5, -110) catching the points. Plus, the road team is 6-1 ATS in the previous seven meetings, which also is a trend that points to UGA.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 142 (-110) is worth a light, light play, as it might be a sweat shop all evening long. If this game goes Over, it likely won’t be until the final minute. The Over is 4-1 in UGA’s past five against teams with a winning percentage over .600, 12-4 in Florida’s past 16 overall, and 8-2 in Florida’s past 10 after a straight-up win.
