The No. 5 Florida Gators have already locked up the SEC regular season title, but the defending National Champions still have a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament in their sights. They have a chance to continue to pad their resume on Saturday when they take on the Kentucky Wildcats.<\/p>\n
Kentucky is likely to be given an at-large bid in the tournament, but an upset win against Florida would go a long way in potentially improving its seeding.<\/p>\n
Let’s dive into the odds and my best bet for Saturday’s SEC showdown.<\/p>\n

He’s also averaging 4.5 rebounds, 2.7 assists, and 1.8 steals. He had a bad outing in the team’s first game against Florida, scoring just 13 points on 4-of-14 shooting. He needs to play better today if the Wildcats want a chance of pulling off the upset.<\/p>\n Florida vs. Kentucky Prediction and Pick<\/p>\n I still think Florida isn’t as good as its record. The Gators rank just 70th in the country in effective field goal percentage, only seven spots higher than the Wildcats. They’re better on the defensive side of the court, ranking 20th in defensive efficiency, but Kentucky isn’t too far behind in that metric either, coming in at 101st.<\/p>\n Kentucky also plays disciplined basketball, coming in at 32nd in the country in effective possession ratio.<\/p>\n The Wildcats shouldn’t be this big of an underdog on their home court. I’ll take the points.<\/p>\n Pick: Kentucky +6.5 (-110)<\/a><\/p>\n Create a new FanDuel Sportsbook account, and you can get $100 in bonus bets if you win your first $5 wager. <\/a>Download the FanDuel app and deposit a minimum of $5 to claim your FanDuel promo code <\/a>offer today.<\/p>\n Odds refresh periodically and are subject to change.<\/p>\n If you or someone you know has a gambling problem and wants help, call 1-800-GAMBLER.<\/p>\n
