| Florida Gators | -23.5 (-112) |
| South Carolina Gamecocks | +23.5 (-108) |
South Carolina is 11‑14 overall and 2‑10 in the SEC. The Gamecocks have lost 6 straight, with one of these being a 47-point loss to the Gators. It's been a dim season for South Carolina, but they look to turn the page.
The standout of the team has been Meechie Johnson. He is averaging 16.7 points and 4.2 assists per game for the Gamecocks. He’ll need an explosive game to secure an upset.
Florida is 19‑6 overall and 10‑2 in the SEC, ranked #12 in the AP Poll. After beating Kentucky last game, they have gained complete control of the conference. Will they carry this into another back-to-back run?
Florida has one of the most talented front courts in the nation. The trio of Chinyelu, Condon, and Haugh combine for over 44 points and 26 rebounds a night. Can these three impose their will against the Gamecocks?
South Carolina vs Florida is a fun one from a betting perspective. It’s a game where you can almost guarantee a Florida win, but will they cover the spread? South Carolina has been an underdog in their last six matchups and has only covered two of those games. Going up against one of the hottest teams in the country, we expect a blowout. Our Pick is Florida ATS (-23.5).
