Florida vs. Oklahoma picks and predictions
Prediction
Oklahoma 69, Florida 63
Moneyline
PASS.
I like Oklahoma (-170) here, but I would rather take the points than play them to win outright.
Against the spread
BET OKLAHOMA -3.5 (-105).
The two times that Florida has been an underdog this season, it lost 90-83 against Xavier as a 2-point ‘dog and 75-54 against UConn as a 4-point ‘dog. It is also just 1-3 ATS on a neutral court, having lost 2 of those 4 games by more than 3 points.
Oklahoma is 3-1 ATS on a neutral court and won all 3 of those covers by more than 3 points. They were a small favorite or an underdog in 2 of those games.
6-foot-2 Nevada transfer G Grant Sherfield is the real deal as well, shooting 55.4% from deep and averaging 17.6 points per game. Considering their strength in this environment, back OKLAHOMA -3.5 (-105).
Over/Under
LEAN UNDER 133.5 (-110).
Both teams are 5-6 O/U this season with the Gators having gone Under in 4 of their last 5 games.
C Colin Castleton, who is the main scorer for Florida, stands 6-foot-8, so he should be able to clog up the lane and make things difficult for Sherfield as well.
One of the 2 teams has scored 65 or fewer in all of Florida’s last 5 games. Considering the trends and the presence of Castleton, back the UNDER 133.5 (-110).
