We dropped our last play with Indiana State failing to cover the 13.5 despite being up 16 with under three minutes to play. That's how it goes with big spreads in college basketball sometimes, but I'm feeling very confident in my process and my full betting cards are up over 9 units since the start of March!

Florida Gators ML -125

If you know anything about me or have been following my content this season, you probably opened up the board for tonight and knew where I was going. This Florida team has really surprised me -- since February 1st they rank 23rd overall per Bart Torvik, while Alabama ranks 21st. The big issue for me with this Alabama team is, they simply don't beat good teams. They are an astonishing 1-8 straight up against KenPom top-30 teams this season - the lone win being at home against Auburn who is another team that's struggled to win against above-average teams. Florida is not inside the top-30, but they just miss the cut at 31. I think they will come out motivated tonight in front of a sold out crowd, with revenge on their mind after losing in OT in their previous match-up away at Tuscaloosa. 

We took this at -114 last night in the Discord, and the line has since moved in our favor. This is a huge match-up for both teams and I just don't trust this Alabama defense at the end of the day. Back the Gators on the moneyline at home.
