Florida 88, Stetson 61
Moneyline
PASS.
Florida (-10000) is far too expensive of a favorite to take.
Against the spread
BET STETSON +37.5 (-115).
The Gators are 1-3 ATS as favorites of 20 or more points and 0-1 ATS when laying 30 or more. While Florida will come out on top, it has had trouble covering massive spreads.
The Hatters are 1-0 ATS against top-25 sides, covering in their loss to the Sooners Nov. 16. They have alternated covers and non-covers in their 6 games as double-digit underdogs and are coming off a non-cover as 23.5-point ‘dogs at LSU Dec. 17.
Take STETSON +37.5 (-115).
Over/Under
BET UNDER 159.5 (-110).
Florida has allowed 62 or fewer points in 4 games as a favorite of 20 or more. It has yet to top triple digits in a single game this season, as well. The Gators are 5-7 O/U.
The Hatters may have gone Over in their 2 games against SEC opponents, but neither of those games would’ve topped this total. Considering those trends, back UNDER 159.5 (-110).
