💰 Florida vs. Georgia best bet: Florida -9.5 (-110) 

Check out all of our college basketball analysis and expert predictions this season.

Winning by double digits on the road against a rival is a big ask, but Todd Golden is arguably the best second-half coach in the country, and the Gators have a dominant front court. Florida is 8-1 ATS in SEC play since Jan. 6, including beating Georgia by 15.

Florida has found its bite in the back half of the season and looks like one of the top March Madness odds value plays (+1900). The Gators are one of five teams ranked top 15 in both adjusted offensive and defensive efficiency.

Georgia is 5-8 ATS since mid-December.

Score prediction: Florida 85, Georgia 74


🔥 Best Florida vs. Georgia player prop: Thomas Haugh 20+ points (+100) 

Good luck finding a better front court in college basketball than Florida's this season with Reuebm Chinyelu, Alex Condon, and Thomas Haugh. Haugh has taken his game up a notch in SEC play, too, averaging 19.3 PPG as the Gators' offensive engine.  

The junior is a walking mismatch with his size, 6-foot-9, and shooting ability (37.5% from three in conference games). Haugh has gone for 20-plus in six of 10 SEC games, including dropping 21 on Georgia last month.

The Bulldogs' defense is ranked outside the top 50 and allows the second-most PPG in SEC games (84.3).
