Bet Georgia ATS vs Florida in SEC Tourney
The NCAA basketball odds today favor sixth-seeded Florida in its second-round SEC Tournament matchup with 11th-seeded Georgia, but we like the Bulldogs to keep it close and cover the spread. The Gators (21-10, 11-7) are considered a lock to make the NCAA Tournament, but they’ve dropped two of their last three contests, so they want to have some success in this tournament to get themselves right for next week.
Georgia (17-15, 6-12) has already played a game in this tournament, topping 14th-seeded Missouri 64-59 in the opening round on Wednesday night. Georgia would need a miracle run to the SEC title to make the Big Dance and its stay in Nashville likely ends with this game, but our NCAAB best bet for this contest is taking the Bulldogs to cover the spread.

Florida vs Georgia Over/Under Pick: Over 155
The scoreboard gets lit up when these two teams play – they combined for 170 points in their last matchup, and that was the lower of the totals in their two games this season. The other game was a 102-98 overtime win by the Gators, so defense isn’t the name of the game when these teams play.
Georgia did score just 64 points in Wednesday’s win over Missouri, but it will be much better in this one, even if it won’t be enough to pull the upset. The NCAAB odds have the total at a fairly high 155 points for this one, but we recommend going with the over.
Florida vs Georgia ATS Pick: Georgia +8
Georgia has struggled throughout the conference season, but it has a conference tournament game under its belt already and has played Florida tight in both meetings this season. Senior guard Noah Thomasson leads the charge for the Bulldogs with 12.7 points per game, but he had 26 points in the last meeting with the Gators, and he’ll keep Florida in this one down to the end.
Florida has struggled a bit of late, including a loss to nine-win Vanderbilt in its regular-season finale. It will take a little while for the Gators to get going, but they’ll pull this one out. Still, go against the NCAA basketball odds today and take the underdog Bulldogs to cover.
