The Florida vs Arkansas Game Prediction!
The Pick: Florida Gators -5.5 -110
The Florida Gators have been consistent no matter where they play. They shoot well, have top-notch defense, and rebound as well as any team out there. Their only loss was an away game against Kentucky, where they still managed to score 100 points. On the other hand, the Arkansas Razorbacks are coming off two losses to Tennessee and Ole Miss, struggling to score. I don't see things improving for them against a Florida defense that's ranked eighth in allowed field goal percentage and fourth in allowed three-point percentage. Florida is also doing well with an 11-4 ATS record this season, while Arkansas is lagging behind at 4-10-1 ATS. Everything seems to favor a Gators win and cover. I'm going with the road team in this SEC matchup.
